My message to the outgoing Bush administration

This song deserves to be stuck in Bush’s head for the rest of his life. I think it succinctly expresses the sentiments of hundreds of millions of Americans:


UPDATE: Because there appear to be a lot of Ween fans in the comments (or at least, like, two of them), it’s time to share some mo’ vids. Most of these songs are barely intelligible in their studio incarnations, but are positively awesome live.

Here’s “Big Jilm”:

Here’s “The Blarney Stone”:

And of course, the immortal “Cover it With Gas and Set it on Fire”:


UPDATE II: Dr. Rock, how can I neglect you?

WEEEEEEEEEEEEN!!!!!!!!

Teh Boognish Time!

 
 

I would settle for knowing a small infection of Self Awarenesococus plagued our Fuehrer , a little bit .

 
 

I can’t see the YouTube on the interworktubes, but I’ma venture a guess as to which song this is: “You Fucked Up”?

 
 

For those of us behind the Wall of Borg, which tune might that be?

 
 

I agree completely with Ween. Most people are not okay.

 
 

See, I think this song sums it up better, unfortunately.

 
 

Is there a song that says, “Bad dog! For that, we’re taking your penis off”?

 
 

OTB nails it. “The Ballad of Rollo Tommassi,” as it were.

 
 

I would settle a little if it shook out that an itty bitty self aware bug bit the heiny of our Fuehrer . Plaguing his waking hours with all sorts of novel (to himownself) discoveries . This followed with head slapping jocularity , “I said Whaaa !” “I did Whaaa !” “I am convicted of Whaaa !” “I am sentenced to Whaaa !”
Self awareness is the terrorist’s winning
Fight Self awareness and burn tires with coal to make Al Gore cry

 
 

I still like this.

Just go AWAY.

What’s that sound beneath the floorboards?

 
 

It’s not as if folks don’t know it, but Glenn Beck is a GYNORMOUS tool.

He seems to think there’s some deep spiritual meaning in the fact that his shitty “Christmas Sweater” book is just behind (huhuhuh he said “behind”) Stephen King’s on some bestseller list-or-other.

It’s going to be soooooooo sweet to go into bookstores along about January 10th and see BIG PILES of that oleanginous schmaltzy piece of holiday drek being remaindered.

Bush needs to go to the vet to get tutored.

 
 

WEEEEEEEN!!

Why is it, after so many years, I still love Ween so much?

 
 

…and on cue, Spinal Meningitis comes up on the iTunes shuffle.

 
 

>OTB nails it. “The Ballad of Rollo Tommassi,” as it were.

You don’t call yourself Mr. Wonderful for nothing!

YESSSSS!!!!! These guys always had the best weed.

 
 

Wow. Um.

The douchenozzle filling in for Limbaugh today just said that conservatives don’t get into politics ’cause they don’t like government and would rather spend their time “creating wealth” than “shuffling papers”. And that’s why the Dems won last week.

Uh. MAH HEAD IT HURTZ

 
 

Oh. And he is STILL on teh ACORN thing.

Talk about “dead-enders”.

 
 

Thank the FSM for fresh threads!

Brad, what happened to the rest of S,N!

I’m worried there was some sinister plot by the likes of PammyCakes and Michelle Malkin to off them all in some fiendish fashion.

 
 

The Blarney Stone — best drunken campfire song ever.

 
 

You got it all wrong — best farewell song? “Go Away” by Blondie. I’d love to see a YouTube vid for that song with nothing but a slideshow of W’s most embarrassing gaffes.

 
 

oh thank you for this. ‘piss up a rope’ also comes to mind.

Ooops, did I say that? I meant, um, ween…..

boug, yep, that one definitely comes to mind.

 
 

Weed like you to stay focused, Lex.

 
 

Hi stoopid punk bitchez:

Uh, NEWS FLASH:

Those guys blow. Unless, that is, you really like stoopid crappy lyrics and utterly imaginative, no-chops. chord-banging guitar that doesn’t swing, in which case Ween roxxor! But let’s just Keith Riffhard their guitar player isn’t. Alternating between two barre chords repeitively may seem like the height of rocking out to you, but trust me it isn’t. There are musical delights you have never even dramed of bitchez!

You stoopid punk bitchiz are cute though. Its liking watching a 4-year flail around on guitar. He has no idea what he’s doing but he’s sure having fun pretending!

 
 

No matter the content of these songs, conservatives will claim that they are conservative rock songs. Just watch.

 
 

Here’s the edited version. You stoopid punk bitches should get a preview function:

All right, why don’t strike through tags work?

 
 

Douchenozzle just claimed that the WPA didn’t do anything to reduce unemployment, that gov’t programs like that are just “Bridges to Nowhere” and the guimmint should be giving enterpreneurs in their garages money to invent the next Intertubes or something.

That’s where I exercised my right to the volume control.

 
 

Weem? WHO?????

 
 

Oops. Sorry MzNicky.

 
 

Does strike work? s works in the preview.

 
 

I think it succinctly expresses the sentiments of hundreds of millions billions of Americans Earthlings:

Fixed, and furthermore, fixed.

 
 

Do you get paid to listen to right-wing radio? Or is it morbid fascination? Some weird fetish maybe? *shudder*

I’m pretty surprised to see a “new WPA” become a mainstream idea. It’s something I articulated a while ago, well before the economic crisis really hit, as sort of a wishful thinking maybe-this-would-work idea. It’s nice to see it close to becoming reality. I’m still not wildly enthusiastic about the rest of Obama’s agenda (will Max Baucus of all people wind up pushing him towards genuinely universal health care?), but he seems to know what he’s doing economically. And that’s good.

 
 

Yes, I was astonished that ol’ Pretzel Wits had actually, by going global with the financial idocy, had acutely fucked up just about everyone on the planet.

But I’m sure, due to quantum fluctuations, that some alien beings, somewhere in space, are finding that their silicon-based currency is mysteriously tanking.

Because FAIL this big can’t be contained in just one solar system.

 
 

Could somebody give me a link to the lyric transcripts? I’m having a hard time making out with the words.

 
 

Hey, Fool:

It all turned to crap after George M. Cohan died.

 
 

I’m still not wildly enthusiastic about the rest of Obama’s agenda

Obama will make the trains run on time.

 
 

Do you get paid to listen to right-wing radio?

After a fashion – mah bossman is a conservative and listens to Beck & Limbaugh on teh electric radio, often hunched over it like he was getting transmissions from The Free Territories.

He’s a nice guy, though – really.

 
 

Hey The Fool,

YOU fucked up.

 
 

Ahhh the power of Ween.

A self-indulgent aside: Several years ago now I went in for some pretty serious surgery. I was told that I’d spend a few days on a morphine drip after they sewed me back up. Being the, um, experienced fella I am, I made sure to bring my discman and headphones to the hospital. In that discman? Ween’s The Mullosk. It was absolutely glorious and pretty much made the horror of surgery worth it. A vivid, pulsating soundtrack for my own sterile opium den.

Now the six months of chemo that followed… that’s a different story altogether.

 
 

Fool, boy oh boy are you one!

WEEN RULES. Now and forever. Brilliant musicians. Very funny guys. Too bad you don’t get it, but I understand. It takes a certain level of intellect to appreciate them.

 
 

[In before The Fool tells us that the realest real-i-o music for realists is played by cracka-ass honkeys on Blues Thursdays in airport bars and hotel lobbies]

 
 

I never really considered the possibility of becoming the lead singer of a rock and roll band, since I lack any singing talent, whatsoever. However, after watching these “Ween” videos, I feel that as I approach my 46th year – hey maybe it’s not too late for me!

 
 

I liked the sentiment of the song, though.

 
 

[In before The Fool tells us that the realest real-i-o music for realists is played by cracka-ass honkeys on Blues Thursdays in airport bars and hotel lobbies]

In Peoria.

 
 

Aaron went to my high school. I got to interview them at Mickey’s house one time.

The song of theirs I obsess over lately is called “Shamemaker” because it’s done in this relentless Philly accent that brings back lots of memories.

And of course, Buckingham Green. “A child without an EYE!”

 
 

I wish I knew how this would have looked if SN had a preview.

Oh wait…

 
 

After all, he doesn’t call himself “The Fool” for nothing. I detect the faintest glimmer of self awareness.

 
 

Hey if the cracka-ass honkey can play something more interesting than alternating barre chords, I’ll take it.

You stoopid ass Weenies are all about the scene and not the music.

 
 

Its liking watching a 4-year flail around

Well, I’m sure you’re much more sophisticated than that. Your constant use of the phrase “stoopid punk bitchez” makes you sound almost twelve.

 
 

Ah, Sadly, No!, you have an AWESOME SOUND, going down!

 
 

something more interesting than alternating barre chords

I sense that someone here has never understood rock and roll.

 
 

Fortunately, I remain unsquelched.

 
 

Maybe he’s a ballet dancer.

 
 

Bubba:

I’m pretty sure its you who doesn’t know jack shit about rocknroll. The secret is finding something more interesting rhythmically than AAABBBAAABBBAAABBBAAABBB with no swing. Keith Richards for example, takes pretty simple chords but makes unforgettable riffs out of them.

 
 

You Communist LIEbral DEMONcraps don’t no nuthing about rocknroll!!!

Mr. President George Willard Bush will mount Air Force Won bound for Texes with Foghat’s “Slow Ride” playin in his eyepods. Now THAT’s the kind of music that the jet pilot hero of the Battle of Iraq listens too, just like he did when he landed on the aircraft carryer and said Mission Acomplished after blowin up that spaceship that was destroying the USA of America. Job well done, Mr. President!

 
 

All hail Ween!

And arguing about who “know(s) jack shit about rocknroll” is plenty stupid. Shame on you.

 
 

Fool– dude, you should check out the pages of Maximum Rock and Roll. They love stroking to your kinda soapboxing.

 
 

Come on, The Fool. I’m still waiting.

 
 

The secret is finding something more interesting rhythmically than AAABBBAAABBBAAABBBAAABBB with no swing.

That really isn’t the secret.

 
 

I’ve been wanting a fog hat for years, but fog milliners are hard to find.

 
 

BDill: Dude, I ain’t soapboxing. I’m just saying Ween suxx.

A lot of you stoopid punk bitchiz are just musically ignorant with short attention spans. Its like a guy trying to explain the beauty of the experience of a multilayered subtly textured Asian dinner to a guy who tried Indian food once but thought it tasted weird and insists that Burger King rulz.

Thank you Lady Lynn Forester de Rothschild for explaining rock and roll to the unwashed masses who only think they’re rocking.

 
 

No, frog hats and smog hats simply WILL NOT DO. I’m in for the tiny pony, though.

 
 

Pog hats were all right for a while in the 90s.

 
 

Bubba: it doesn’t take any great intellect to eat Asian food so I don’t really follow.

There are meathead versions of everything. Punk rock is meathead rock for people who can’t enjoy any subtlty or craft whatsoever. Same thing with metal. Granted the metal meatheads can play their instruments — but they can’t write a song to save their lives.

 
 

I hate you, Fool. I have that boring Beatles song stuck in my head now. I hate you. Really. FO & D

 
 

candy: I luv you

 
 

Bubba: it doesn’t take any great intellect to eat Asian food

You weren’t writing about a guy eating, you were writing about explaining multilayered complexity. Has nothing to do with rock and roll.

 
 

Candy:

I luv you yeah! yeah! yeah!
I luv you yeah! yeah! yeah!
I luv you yeah! yeah! yeah yeah!

 
 

Provisional titles for Dubya’s autobiography:
“I Am Not Spock.”
“All The Lies That Are My Life.”
“My Honour Is Loyalty.”

 
 

I like “The Audacity of Dope”.

 
 

Well no Bubba, I WAS using an example of a guy eating. Need to work on those reading skills, meathead.

 
 

“Modern music sux so hard, not like the awesome music from the 60’s” is quite possibly the dumbest premise EVAR. REAL music died with Heinrich Schütz, and everything written since is just 10 gallons of poop in a 5-gallon cobag. To deny it would only prove you are the meatheadedest meathead who ever had a head of meat.

Yeah, when Einstein was talking about clocks and observers and trains and stuff he was talking about clocks and observers and trains.

 
 

Candy: Which boring Beatles song?

 
 

Candy: “Fool on the Hill” is totally Paul.

 
 

Boring Beatles songs? Can I nominate Revolution #9, or Tomorrow Never Knows?

 
 

Boring Beatles songs? Can I nominate Revolution #9

Yes.

… or Tomorrow Never Knows?

No.

 
 

I like Tomorrow Never Knows. Some of the George songs are pretty dull, like “I Need You”.

 
 

if you think Tomorrow Never Knows is boring then you love a double Whopper with Cheese and curly fries.

 
 

While we’re on the subject, isn’t “Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” the most over-rated album of all time?

 
 

Jess: No.

This has been another edition of easy answers to stoopid punk bitchiz questions.

 
 

Jess:

The long answer is: No, Pet Sounds and Thriller are the most overrated albums of all time.

 
 

Is The Fool the quality of trolling SN is gonna get post-election?

Oh, Gary/Rugged/Etc. come back baby, we didn’t mean any of it. Let’s try and make it work this time. We’ll go away somewhere. You’d like that wouldn’t you? We can pretend none of this election business ever happened. We can be happy together again.

 
 

Thanks.

As for Ween, I have always had a fondness for Sketches of Winkle. and Old Queen Cole. and…

 
 

Bananas and Blow?

 
 

‘The Truth’ reminds me of Robert Christgau, only with more ego and less comprehension of music. Of course, Christgau’s comprehension of music is best measured in microns.

 
 

I used to like Birthday Boy more, but now it just seems kinda pathetic…in a sweet sort of way.

 
 

But I think that the song that describes the Bush administration is Don’t Get 2 Close (2 My Fantasy).

 
 

This comes pretty close to what I want to say to the administration-

Don’t look at me – I’ve been off listening to Lene Lovich and Devo, both of who are a lot more complex than people give them credit for.

Why as a matter of fact, I do.

I am disappointed with everyone for confirming that “You Fucked Up” was the original video in this post. I mean, perhaps a bit obvious for the Bush years but, still, I enjoy the validation . . .

But Patty was nice. She was pale and cute. I threw her away like an old piece of fruit.

 
 

I meant “not confirming”. Eh. Bar results came out today. Been a long early evening.

“Modern music sux so hard, not like the awesome music from the 60’s” is quite possibly the dumbest premise EVAR.

And yet, those of us in Gen X will be hearing it until maybe 10 years before we die, on average.

REAL music died with Heinrich Schütz, and everything written since is just 10 gallons of poop in a 5-gallon cobag.

I almost agree. John Philip Sousa pwned.

 
 

When I think of GWB the song that instantly comes to mind is “Uncle Fucka”.

 
 

acrannymint — that’s a great song about Thatcher — would be nice to have one like that about Bush (hopefully, though, 20 years on Bush’ll be just a punchline, like Hoover)

 
 

Dude, Wheres my voodoo lady. And for that matter, where’s “what deaner was talking about?”

 
 

Oh and, A Tear For Eddie? Jeezuz this is classic ween we’re talking about here…. And only one song off the pod? you should be ashamed of yourself. You should take two scotchguard powdered bong hits as penance.

 
 

I know it’s a bit late period, but how about “Mister Richard Smoker?”

 
 

God, Ween sucks. Except the first record.

 
 

It conveys the sentiments of hundreds or millions of Americans. But unfortunately, no one can help. That is the fact.
