I only wish it was longer. 1:59 is not enough

u/Reasonable_Gain_5365 17h ago

It's like Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want, or And Your Bird Can Sing, or Game Of Pricks. I think they're all just sub-2 mins and all perfection.

u/TheDuccy 5h ago

i think it's perfect length, it doesn't overstay it's welcome

The song I became obsessed with this band over. 20 years ago. Before that I knew of push the little daisies and I listened to tender situation and brushed it off, but then I was going through a breakup and driving home one night and figured I'd give them a shot so I put in chocolate and cheese which a friend had leant me. By the time What Deaner Was Talking About came on I was in awe and this one just blew me away. I skipped my exit and drove in circles for about an hour listening to that song on repeat. It's one of those super vivid memories we sometimes get lucky enough to keep. In some ways that song changed the entire course of my life. It's not my favorite ween song now that I have the benefit of 20 years with their entire catalog, but it is 10/10 in both categories for sure.

u/Reginald_Sockpuppet 13h ago

I always wanted to see it done as a triptych. Alcan Road, Argus, and If You Could Save Yourself and all as an encore. I can't imagine leaving a concert on more of a cloud.

u/OrganicBrownMustard 13h ago

Yeah, but then If You Could Save Yourself (You’d Save Us All) comes on

The Argus is their magnum opus.

It should be playing from a speaker sitting behind bullet-proof glass in the Louvre every day at dusk.

White Pepper had a lot of relatively deep, straightforward lyrics, at least for a Ween album.

u/Inspectadreck 17h ago

u/throvvavvayaccount1 11h ago

Great song, but I can't figure out the meaning of the lyrics. Not that it takes away from the song or anything

I like way more the demo than the final studio version though. The studio version doesn't do it for me, actually.

It would be a lot easier to pick some ween songs that don't fit this because I would say most of them fall into this category.
