144. Hey There Fancypants
The album needed a little mood shift. Can't just paddle through the murky murk all day long can we?

The album needed a little mood shift. Can't just paddle through the murky murk all day long can we?
When Dave and I first heard Quebec this song stood out as an immediate and quintessential Ween Banger. We eventually fell in love with the album as a whole but hearing Marbles assured us that we were still living deep within a Ween Renaissance. Perfect mixture of delicate melodic songwriting and a tidal wave of brown. When it hits it hits big. Stick that index finger way up in the air because ROCK HAS BEEN ACHIEVED.
What can we say folks?? This is one of the best Ween songs ever. On top of that I would argue (and do) that the album cut of this song is superior to any live rendition. We love hearing it performed live but it's one of the few Ween songs where its absolute beauty and majesty is perfectly encapsulated in the studio recording. It simply doesn't get better than this.
A throwback to the classico early days of Ween. A cacophany of sounds and textures seemingly captured live (for the most part). On an album full of tightly orchestrated bangers it's damn nice to take a little detour into browner tributaries.
Jay starts off by completely dropping the ball by confusing this song with Alcan Roads. Then Dave (being the professional broadcaster that he is) "Yes Ands" his way through it and we have a load of laughs and witty banter. Enjoy.
Much PWS lore is unlocked in this episode. Confirmation of the Satana story. A must listen for those interested in Ween-canon....within the Ween-ouvre. Ouvre.
And coming right off the heels of a meth fueled "It's Gonna Be A Long Night" Ween pulls the E-Brake and Tokyo Drifts the car off a cliff in slo-motion with ZOLOFT. Don't try to get too comfy with the vibe...it's gonna change at every turn of the track.
A Cat Fight it shall be. Ween makes sure we wake the hell up before we start listening to Quebec. This is not a game. This is for reals.
Kicking off Season 9 of Pod Ween Satan with a traditional overview of the album. Here's what we were able to dig up about quintessential Ween album "Quebec".
Boy oh boy did that album fly by or what? The boys close White Pepper out with a gentle love song that would bring a tear to a Gad's eye which, now that I think about it, isn't too hard to do. I'm not sure what's worse: The fact that the French surrendered to the Nazis in just six weeks or Gad breaking down in tears after 5 days of a pandemic. BUT I DIGRESS Enjoy the closer to Season 7. We love you and we'll be back next week for QUEBEC!!! (pronounced kwuh-back)
Ouch. Those are some harsh lyrics. They've only played this song 4 times live and it's total banger. What an injustice! Buy a Pod Ween Satan t-Shirt https://www.teepublic.com/stores/pod-ween-satan?ref_id=24725 Check out the Bonus Patreon Show at https://www.patreon.com/PodWeenSatan
We discover the "true" origins of this song (according to Reddit) and make an obscene amount of Beatles connections. We probably mention Get Back about 12 times too. Fantasteeesh.

I know it doesn't really sound like him but this always reminded me of Jimi Hendrix. It's like what Hendrix would've been doing had he lasted until the late 70s and got into Metal and Heroin (not necessarily in that order).

Another contender for all time best Ween song. How many are we up to? 9 or 10? Personally, I think this one has it all and it's certainly what I'll use next time while trying to turn on a non-believer.

Trey/Matt...we're requesting a do-over. You owe it to Ween. That or maybe take another swing at the plate with another song? I think Brakhage would've wanted it that way.
He says "Flutes of THE Chi" but it's "Flutes of Chi". C'mon Man. Too much for this brain to handle

Best ever Ween album closer? Yes Indeedily Doodely.
A great song that probably ended up covering for quite a few mortgage payments (royalties and all). Ween's biggest hit it seems. I don't know about you but it never gets old. Ocean Man bangs y'alls.
In the last 11 months we've lost our dog Spoon, our cat Iceman and as of yesterday our dog Shark. Shark was only 2.5 years old and the picture of health and vitality. In December he was diagnosed with Acute Leukemia and they only gave him 2 weeks to live. We treated him with chemotherapy and we pulled 7 amazing weeks out of him. He met his little sister Chimichanga and taught her all he knew. We spent every day playing with him, feeding him every treat he'd every dreamt of eating and loving the ...
A jam packed sizzler of an episode for (arguably) Ween's Greatest Triumph. We chart through the evolution of Buckingham Green and end up at the ultimate source of the Mellotron!
Go ahead and try it out sometime!
How'd the pink eye get on the leg? We don't answer that question but we do talk about this amazing instrumental, Dogs barking and Kim Smoltz.
Best sea shanty of all time.
He's a slippery one. He also is golden. Special Eel.
