One of the many things I love about Ween is how equal the partnership seems between Dean and Gene. Sometimes i think Dean's the main guy and then I swing back to thinking Gene is. I think they both are The Main Guy which is pretty rare in songwriting partnerships.
This show didn't last long because it was a show called "Oddsville" and they just had Ween play an amazing performance of Mutilated Lips... where do you go from there?
Unholy boognish!!!! This is the show I watched and foundout about the mollusk, I went out that week and bought it. The first Ween album I ever bought..memories..
Hell, I played the entire thing over and over again until I had learned every chord and note on the cd. I used to high af and play it. My gf at the time really hated Ween, I got a new one..
_They had no idea what to do with the country record, so then it came time for The Mollusk, we were thinking, “This is our greatest record.” We mastered it with Howie Weinberg, sent it in, and I didn’t hear from Elektra for two weeks. I finally called the A&R guy, because the suspense was killing me. I said, “What do you think of the new record?” And he said, “What new record?” I yelled, “The new record! The Mollusk!” I heard him fumbling around on his desk and he said, “Oh, here it is.” He hadn’t even listened to it for two weeks! At that point, I knew the fucking record was doomed. Jesus Christ! They just gave us two huge advances, and we delivered two albums. I don’t know if they thought we were trying to put them on a second time, or someone mentioned, “Those guys did a nautical record.” I was so pissed! This was the best thing we’ve ever done, and they didn’t even care! They finally got back to us and said, “Uh, we think ‘Mutilated Lips’ would be a good single.” I’m like, “What? Are you fucking nuts?” Don’t get me wrong…it’s one of the best songs we have, but it’s not a single! It’s fucking weird! It’s basically got a chant and no chorus. I knew we were fucked yet again. The only promo we did behind that song was Oddville on MTV. Despite their worst efforts, “Ocean Man” went on to be our most lucrative song because of Spongebob. But the writing was on the wall and it was very upsetting. I was 26 years old at the time, and I’d be more upset now than I was at the time. Then, the next record was Paintin’ The Town Brown off cassette, so our relationship with the label was out of whack. They had their chance with Chocolate And Cheese and The Mollusk, but this is all in hindsight. I’m not bitter about anything. White Pepper came out next, which is the most accessible Ween record, and I love it._
ive seen a lot of wrong tabs out there for this song so i figured this was a good place to put the right ones: drop A string down to G main licks: 099800 x00775 and then prechorus is both those same chords just in opposite order chorus: x00(12)(12)10 x00775 x00553 x0000x hammer on x2220x
Luckily Ween's badassery flew over the shroud of forced quirkiness that this show seemed to base itself on. Effortlessly awesome, cemented for all time. Love Ween.
Insane nostalgia comes to me when listening to this, the sound quality may be shitty but it is 100% better than the cassette tape i used to have this song on and wore out from constant listening and rewinding.
Hi. Zappa said in interviews that he never liked writing lyrics but was aware he'd find it very hard to sell records if he didn't. Zappa rules and so does Ween! Two very different styles. This song is excellent.
I listened to this song (live from Chicago) in the morning every day this week on my way to earn my living. Would love to hear it at Red Hat - Raleigh NC April 26th '24! We'll be with the mesmerized
Music as a crative art form rarely exists. but Ween are still here thank the lucky heavens. Matchbox 20 and co have enough money so lets start listening to something musical.
I vaguely remember it my senior year in college (don't remember much). It was short lived and I don't recall watching more then five minutes of the show.
i want!!!!!!!!! the golden eel which they peformed on this show also (i dont remember if it was on the same episode but i know!!!!!! it was on oddsville cauz those two appearances are what got me into ween in the first place, beavis and butthead must get a little credit also but this is what sold me and got me to buy my first two ween records :-) the mollusk and chocolate and cheese in early 98')

Neither has narcissism
i feel like this video came from another dimension and im not supposed to be viewing it
Everything about this video is incredible
Yanille except the garbage audio and video quality
+MrCoffeekelly Blame Videotape and not having access to the master copy.
Liberal Shimmering wasn't blaming anything
the quality is brown af it adds to the vibe
and the stupid dancers
This show didn't last long because it was a show called "Oddsville" and they just had Ween play an amazing performance of Mutilated Lips... where do you go from there?
Good point. It's hard to grow from there.
Guided by voices tore it up
definitely one of the greatest choruses ever written.
15 years later this rings true

William Wright nigga u must be old af. lol sorry to hear that
Mo Im 34. I was in high school. Im 34 so yeh Im old..
Hell, I played the entire thing over and over again until I had learned every chord and note on the cd. I used to high af and play it. My gf at the time really hated Ween, I got a new one..
William Wright haha im just popping your stones. always glad to meet another ween head
Mo I know. i was laughing on this end.

What is the interview from?
Man, Dean Ween may be the sexiest guitarist of all time. And Gene has a voice of pure platinum.
+John O man has gene aged bad he looks like billy joel now not ugly just bald and white hair lol
+JayEdom they have truly lived a rockstar life. all that punishment on the body will catch up eventually.
I am 43 and I stopped dying my hair so I could look more like Gene
JayEdom I think he looks cute lol like a little old Hobbit
@@TheFamousMockingbird and the fact they're almost 50..
I'm tripping balls on shrooms right now and this has to be the funniest video out there on the internet right now
That being said this is one of the greatest songs ever written
The fact that he called a crab a mollusk triggered me.
I think he said clam
Dude, as long as it lingers with its wandering EYE, who cares?
ive seen a lot of wrong tabs out there for this song so i figured this was a good place to put the right ones:
drop A string down to G
main licks:
099800
x00775 and then prechorus is both those same chords just in opposite order
chorus:
x00(12)(12)10
x00775
x00553
x0000x hammer on x2220x
Good looks boss

ruclips.net/video/nFMTFXrzVXc/видео.html
Dean just rips it up.. I love Ween!!
This OG performance totally got me into Ween. Dark, awesome shit
mollusk aint a crab
thatmattpersona this dopey four-eyed fuck doesn't even know that crabs are crustaceans. Get him off the air immediately.
Someday the mollusk will be a crab, everything seems to evolve into crabs. It's called the crab cycle
@@davidjameschamberlain
Why do things keep evolving into crabs?
Luckily Ween's badassery flew over the shroud of forced quirkiness that this show seemed to base itself on. Effortlessly awesome, cemented for all time. Love Ween.
does anybody else like this version? i loves it :)
This is seriously the best 1997 video of anything.
man, I wish I was old enough to do acid in the 90's
DiabolicalJoker I can fondly say that I have, and it was awesome
DiabolicalJoker 1990’s acid was heavy. And you could tell who was spinning and who wasn’t back then. Such rad times.
Early 80's even more so.
Guess I tripped right past this wonderfulness. However I cant stop listening to Ween!!!
Take a dose and listen to this, you'll be transported there
really trippy song. love the pre-chorus...
Insane nostalgia comes to me when listening to this, the sound quality may be shitty but it is 100% better than the cassette tape i used to have this song on and wore out from constant listening and rewinding.
There must be even more nostalgia now 12 years later
OMG, Oddsville. No one ever remembers that show. It was so utterly bizarre. MTV doesn't do anything remotely cool as that anymore or ever again.
his voice sounds so good
A haiku comment-
Ween always provides,
pure essence of universe.
Whats with the fat guy?
Him? Nah he's cool but what's up with the first guy
I want this video tattooed on my face.
Such a clutch version of this song, such a great sound from a great band.!!!
Hi. Zappa said in interviews that he never liked writing lyrics but was aware he'd find it very hard to sell records if he didn't. Zappa rules and so does Ween! Two very different styles. This song is excellent.
this is the greatest video ever
It's so beautiful I'm crying... I love them!
This is the song that got me hooked. never forget, thanks boognish
My fave song off of the Mollusk is this one.... love the guitar.
90s television was something else
yep...i remember this...thank you SO much for this clip of gold.
DID WEEN COME WITH THE MONKEY DEMON OR WAS HE JUST THERE TO BEGIN WITH?
Nah he was always there
It's like...a manifestation...mmmmaaan.
I start to trip when I hear this song 🪜
I had completely forgot this show even existed. I do remember seeing this performance, excellent!!!
awsome..thanks for posting it
The zoom-in-transition from the chubby dude’s belly to Deaner is Oscar-worthy film production
I remember seeing this unfold on TV. It was the best shit.
I remember this broadcast...fkn exquisite! Thanks for showing
I listened to this song (live from Chicago) in the morning every day this week on my way to earn my living. Would love to hear it at Red Hat - Raleigh NC April 26th '24! We'll be with the mesmerized
Holy shit this is AWESOME!
Hail to the Boognish!
There’s something profoundly sad about this
@kdev I am you
Makes me smile every time
Ween are funking amazing.
laughing out loud at the guy with a basketball hoop on his back!
A literal backboard. Genius
Truly a backboard
Oh my God! I forgot about this show!
This is one of the best songs ever!
Amazing!!
Music as a crative art form rarely exists.
but Ween are still here thank the lucky heavens.
Matchbox 20 and co have enough money so lets start listening to something musical.
They would have shit themselves had they seen the Stallion, mang.
This show fits their vibe
this show is perfect for ween to play on haha... such a weird and unique band, they are great
Oddville was a cool show! Ween is still awesome!
LOVE the acoustic guitar solo too!
The black girl is hot, and the song is good.
Smoke two joints and watch.
I love ween.
Great music!
haha that is oddsvile for sure
funny stuff, and what an awesome song!!!
i totally have this episode on tape somewhere. this show was amazing.
I vaguely remember it my senior year in college (don't remember much). It was short lived and I don't recall watching more then five minutes of the show.
Every time I drive and hear this song on my ipod I want to learn it on guitar but then I get back home and forget about it.
did you ever learn it
THE FUCK IS THIS SHOW MANG? HOT DAM!
Its above your head you zombie.
You ain't never lying.
GO EPIC GOATEE GUY!!!
Cool song!!!
When Ween was still toasted all the time!!!!
love
Mtv always was a shit in his core, but at least in the 90s theyr door were opened to this kind of jewels. Back then mtv was cool.
So true...
wow... what the hell happened to MTV.
i'm longing for these days again...
a few high quality lucy makes this whole album a trip
I'm speechle,cant believe just saw that by Ween lol,very weird show,funny as hell though
This was light-years away from anything else being released at the time...wished I was into them back then!
That NYC crowd was so hip.... they did the wwf bush walkers dance to the ring!
I used to fry my fucking ass of and listen to WEEN this was the first on i really got moved by spiritualy when I was trippn BALLLS
the 90's :)
So weird realizing there was a time MTV was cool.
Love Ween. I bought many of their albums. Havn´t lately though. Maybe I should. Poor bastards. Their livers must be worse than mine. Respect.
Classic..
i want!!!!!!!!! the golden eel which they peformed on this show also (i dont remember if it was on the same episode but i know!!!!!! it was on oddsville cauz those two appearances are what got me into ween in the first place, beavis and butthead must get a little credit also but this is what sold me and got me to buy my first two ween records :-) the mollusk and chocolate and cheese in early 98')
nice.
fucking sweet!
This is, basically, modern day Portland.
HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAAHAH! I lived in Portland momentarily and you are 100% correct. It's pretty much every Last Thursday on Alberta.
DoctorVic piss just covered everything is how it was explained to me......but i was to drunk down at the ash street to really care.
bahahahaha!
love where "take my hand you ugly girl...." falls in the video.... the shy guy is the "ugly girl"? ha
Wow
maybe my favorite ween song. which is saying a lot. lol
eargasm
The sexiest video ever made.
Ween produces all albums if its on there, they want it on there
this is version is better than the album version
Crab = crustacean. Mollusk = clams, snails, octopus, etc.
agreed
Long lost brother of “ happiness is a warm gun “
I never watched this show. I don't regret that decision. Though seeing Ween on there would have been cool
Tap all over this big world!! GodWeenSatan.....nuff said
The dude in the suit is freakn out LOL!!!
When MTV was RAD
i agree with you dolotsofacid!
Melissa Gabriel is so cute
This would have been an incredibly odd bit of television to watch.
Long Live the Boognish!
This video is conclusive evidence that the 90's were much better than the 00's.
I don't do drugs and I love Ween.
