Fucking crap.

"Funny" music is just about always made by people with a shitty, obvious sense of humor. See also:

Weird Al
Zappa
King Missle

"But Ween isn't really novelty music. You just don't get it."

I actually do. Baby Jesus, please keep Ween and their fans away.


Agreed on all counts. But you forgot Primus.

Novelty music is crap.

What he said.

It's not for everyone and it takes a while to sink in. But goddamn, these guys can PLAY and play anything.

I dare you to smoke a joint, listen to "Buckhingham Green" and tell me Ween are crap. DARE! DOUBLE DOG DARE!

I love Ween. I fucking hate their goddamn hippie fans, but I love Ween.

I never liked this band. I thought of a song about daisies that I did not like.

Then I heard "Pony".

And I thought "This band is better than I thought."

Then, a guy I know heard "Pony" and indignantly said "They're singing about animal abuse!"

And I thought "This band is a lot better than I thought."

Not because they sang about animal abuse (they don't), but because they are very confusing, which I did not notice before.

Even later than that, I heard the excellent country record and the very nice Quebec record (with it's now-we're-Motorhead, now-we're-XTC motif) and some other stupid 4-track recordings that were just okay.

Then I heard more drippy/unfunny "funny" songs.

But in the end,

NOT CRAP

My girlfriend is a diehard fan of the tv series "The Shield" and has gotten me to start watching it with her. It's an enjoyable enough show, that being neither here nor relevant in any way.

One of the things that consistently startles me about the show is the music they use during various scenes. During one of the chase scenes this past season (I think) there was an energetic rock song that, with all the chaos of the actual scene over top of it, sounded a lot like Motorhead. I thought "hey, good job the Shield music directors! Motorhead is a fine choice for backing music to this chase scene." It wasn't until later on when that I realized they had actually been playing the first track off Quebec, "It's Gonna Be A Long Night."

I like this band Ween, even when they don't remind me of Motorhead.

Legend has it, that Gene and Dean had just finished writing "Spinal" in a Washington hotel. Gener was tripping or something, and decided to go down to the lobby for crackers (this is all from hearsay, so expect this story to change). Walking by a newsstand, he was dumbfounded to see a Washington Post headline read, "Am I going to die, Mommy? " (Which is a line from the song). He freaked out, and quickly raced up stairs to tell his brother the story. He got into the room, only to find his brother curled up on the floor repeating, "mister would you please help my pony?".
