Line 24:
** 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.
** "Baby Bitch" has the line "Wrote 'Birthday Boy' for ya babe", which is a reference to an earlier song of that name. It might also be a [[Shout
* [[Dead Baby Comedy]]
* [[Digital Piracy Is Evil]]: Inverted, for the most part. They have actually encouraged the use of fan torrents like [http://www.browntracker.net/ browntracker] for those who want digital copies of their live songs as well as their now-rare home demos/albums like ''The Crucial Squeegie Lip'' and ''[[Jimi Hendrix|Axis: Bold As Boognish]]'', though they haven't advocated piracy of their studio releases. Dean also runs Ween Radio, an Internet radio stream where fans can request songs and listen to obscure, unreleased, and/or live songs in addition to songs found on their studio albums.
Line 40:
* [[Intercourse With You]]
* [[I Want My Beloved to Be Happy]]: "She Wanted to Leave," " It's Gonna Be (Alright)"
* [[Letters 2 Numbers]]: The band has songs with titles like "Pumpin' 4 The Man" and "Don't Get 2 Close (2 My Fantasy)." They also substitute "You" with "U" frequently, such as "Can U Taste The Waste?" and "Loving U Thru It All." This is probably done as a [[Shout
* [[Lyrical Dissonance]]: Never more so than when they write one of the prettiest tunes you've ever heard and fill it with Incredible Vulgarity.
* [[Man of a Thousand Voices]]: Gene Ween. His vocal range is so broad it's almost mindblowing to listen to ''Chocolate And Cheese'' when you realize yes, that's him doing the [[The Doors|Jim Morrison]] style vocals on "Take Me Away," the bizarre growling of "I Can't Put My Finger On It," the Mexican speaking in "Beunos Tardes, Amigo," the country drawl of "Drifter in the Dark," and the falsetto soul singing of "Freedom of '76." And that's just ''five songs'' on ''one album''.
Line 83:
* [[The Something Song]]: ''The HIV Song'': "Da da, da Da da da da Da! Dada Dada Da Da Da Dun Dun Dun Da Da Dada dada dun. AIDS! Da da, da Da da da da Da! Dada Dada Da Da Da Dun Dun Dun Da Da Dada dada dun. HIV!" repeat.
* [[Trey Parker and Matt Stone]]: Co-directed the music video for "Even If You Don't."
* [[Wham! Line]]: In ''Buenos Tardes, Amigo'' - a song about a man hunting down his brother's murderer:
