Ween: Difference between revisions

Line 13:

* [[Album Title Drop]]: ''Almost'' done during "Candi" with the line "Chocolate with cheese." The actual name of the album is "Chocolate ''and'' Cheese."

** They do it on "Mononucleosis" from ''The Pod'' ("When you came into the Pod, you told me that something was wrong..."). <ref> The album was named after the apartment they recorded it in, and the song is the true story of them coming down with mononucleosis while they were living there.</ref>

* [[A Good Name for A Rock Band]]: When asked where the name Ween came from, Dean and Gene often say it's just a word they came up with as teens that they thought sounded kind of cool. Aside from just the band name, Dean has also stated that this is how many album and song titles are named, for example, they wanted to go for a Beatles-esque sound on their ''White Pepper'' album and Dean claimed "White Pepper" sounded like a classic rock title, so the album's title references the Beatles' albums ''The Beatles'' (commonly known as ''[[The White Album (Music)|The White Album]]'') and ''[[Sgt ~~Peppers~~ Lonely Hearts Club Band (Music)|Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band]].''

* [[Arc Words]]: Guava

* [[Arson Murder and Jaywalking]]: "Reggaejunkiejew" is a hurricane of seething insults toward whoever the song is about - including telling the person to overdose on heroin and drop dead - but then there's the significantly less harsh but still rude line, "Maybe some people like to eat it, but I think you're a dick!"

* [[Black Sheep Hit]]: "Push th' Little Daisies"

* [[Blatant Lies]]: On the live album, ''At the Cat's Cradle 1992'', during some stage banter, Dean lists a few songs including "Reggaejunkiejew" and says "We don't play any of those songs live." Right after this, they played "Reggaejunkiejew."

Line 21:

* [[Broken Record]]: The phrase, "Pork roll egg and cheese on a kaiser bun," is repeated in the background throughout the entirety of "She Fucks Me."

* [[Captain Obvious]]: "Mister Would You Please Help My Pony?" gives us the line, "He can't talk because he's a pony."

* [[Cluster F Bomb]]: "Baby, Baby, Baby Bitch/Fuck you, you stinkin' asshole" and a lot of other songs as well.

* [[Cluster F-Bomb]]: "Baby, Baby, Baby Bitch/Fuck you, you stinkin' asshole" and a lot of other songs as well.

** They greeted the world with, "You fucked up! You bitch! You really fucked up! You fucked up! You fucking Nazi whore!" They relied on this a lot early on.

* [[Continuity Nod]]: "Big Jilm" features the line "It's a pleazel, it's a pleazel my weasel," a reference to their earlier tune, "I Gots A Weasel," whose lyrics were based on similar lines.

Line 34:

* [[Genre Roulette]]

* [[Heterosexual Life Partners]]: Dean and Gene have been best friends since middle school and donned stage names that would suggest they're brothers.

* [[I Am Song]]: The STALLION (mang)!

* [["I Am" Song]]: The STALLION (mang)!

* [[Indecipherable Lyrics]]: In some songs like "The Stallion (Part 2)," "Mourning Glory," and "Poopship Destroyer," there are lines that are so hard to make out that even the official lyrics replace some words with question marks.

** "My Own Bare Hands" devolves into Dean spewing absolute nonsense constructed only partly out of swears.

Line 49:

* [[New Sound Album]]: While most of their albums tend to experiment with several different genres, it's fairly easy to tell which album a song is from. ''GodWeenSatan'' is mainly punk, hard rock, and metal, ''The Pod'' has mostly slow songs with distorted vocals, ''12 Golden Country Greats'' is nothing but country music, ''The Mollusk'' has a nautical theme, etc.

* [[Noise Rock]]: Also [[Noise Pop]], Noise Country ("Piss Up A Rope" has a breakdown that would be a good example), Noise Jazz, Noise Reggae ("Voodoo Lady"), Noise Ragtime, Noise Classical, Noise Easy Listening, Noise R & B, and Noise Noise.

* [[Non Indicative Name]]: ''12 Golden Country Greats'' has 10 tracks.

* [[Non-Indicative Name]]: ''12 Golden Country Greats'' has 10 tracks.

* [[Old Shame]]: Their role in the movie ''It's Pat'' could qualify.

* [[Overly Long Gag]]: At the beginning of "Wayne's Pet Youngin'," rather than counting to 4 like most bands, Dean counts to 25, even though the song is in 4/4.

Line 88:

{{spoiler|I tell you it was '''''me''''' who killed him}}<br />

{{spoiler|But the truth I'll never have to say.}} }}

* [[What Do You Mean It Wasn't Made On Drugs]]: You must have misheard me: a lot of it ''was''.

* [[What Do You Mean It Wasn't Made On Drugs?]]: You must have misheard me: a lot of it ''was''.

** What we mean to say is: [[Inverted Trope]].

* [[Underboobs]]: Prominently featured on the cover to ''Chocolate And Cheese''.
