![]() Quebec (2003) [ larger cover art ] |
Transdermal celebration
Caused a slight mutation
In the rift
It toppled down a nation
And left the people running for the hills
But the mutants that I see
Shine their beauty unto me
I wish you could see them
Tectonic tribulation
Formed a crust of green beyond the reef
Waves fell in formation
Cause the plants to bend with spi-ked leaves
I'm growing with the land
Time has taken my hands and let me touch them
Hey, hey,
A billion miles to Mark A
Lay on the lawn, he's already home
When the morning ray hits his face
Transdermal celebration
Jets flew in formation
I could see them
Dropping the crustaceans
Leaving trails of flames in their wake
But where is the mutation
Who once told me it was safe, I can't find him
| kingart (Brooklyn NY) | Posted: Apr 29, 2013 - 09:59 Last time I checked, neither the studio or (better) live version of this was available on iTunes. Which bites, as this is one fab song. I'm trying to find a job and this just takes me completely (but happily) out of my grueling focus. |

| Byronape ("post-capitalist wreckageville") | Posted: Apr 13, 2012 - 17:28 This is one of my top tracks from this album. There really are only a couple songs on the entire disk that I don't enjoy. Those are either too weird for me, or just plain creepy. |

| jt1 | Posted: Nov 26, 2011 - 13:41 Very interesting band...not one I'd heard before, but even a quick sampling of some of their work shows me that they are worthy of further listens. Thanks again Bill. |
| terrapin52 (Terrapin Station, SC) | Posted: Nov 26, 2011 - 13:14 What rhymes with Celebration? Crustacean. Put that in there. |

| doctorfree (Santa Cruz, CA) | Posted: Mar 19, 2010 - 15:50 Yea! RP has Transdermal Celebration in its playlist! Gene and Dean rock so many genres and styles they are inscrutable. This is one of my favorites of their "Ween is a 70's psychedelic band" style. |

| sirdroseph (Outer Mongolia) | Posted: Jan 15, 2010 - 15:26 Yea, this is one of their purty mode songs! |
| asocash (Webster, NY) | Posted: Dec 15, 2009 - 05:29 It seems every time I hear a Ween song, it makes me say this is WEEN?! No two songs seems to be remotely alike for these guys.....I like it! |
| spunkyboy62 (Grand Rapids, MI) | Posted: Oct 29, 2009 - 11:24 Wow...thought I was listening to a new XTC song. |

Ween has been around three times longer than Foo. This band will be around long after Foo is in the dust. That's not what I meant. Ween's been tweaking a multitude of musical styles for years—I was just commenting on the genre they chose here. But if you gotta insult someone, I've got a thick skin—bring it. |

| Felix_The_Cat (Buenos Aires, Argentina) | Posted: Aug 11, 2009 - 07:27 Sorry, lately I'm a bit too much comparing but isn't this one Interstate Transdermal Song? |
| copymonkey (in the northeast, but not near anywhere cool) | Posted: Apr 06, 2009 - 13:57 These guys are such chameleons. I heard a Ween song the other day that could've easily passed for a lost Thin Lizzy track. They're really good in concert too now that they've eased up on the contraband. |
| Tim_in_N_FL (Florida) | Posted: Feb 02, 2009 - 11:56 Wow...this is some pretty nice-sounding stuff. I'll give Ween another chance fo shizzle. |

| BobcatThunder (The land of plenty of nothing and nothing for free-Finland) | Posted: Sep 29, 2008 - 05:32 Sheer brilliance, even soundwise, especially the guitar solo exorbits any musehead out there. These guys had it all but they didn't want any of it. They would have inherited the earth if they had wanted to. |
