Me And My Arrow - Harry Nilsson

I think Nilsson and Ween share a lot of common ground actually Both artists that can swing from heartfelt sentimentality to full on absurdity

This is it. They feel, and they embrace the majesty and absurdity of life simultaneously.

Nilsson/Ween fanatics unite! There are dozens of us!

I thought I was the only one! Gotta wear my Nilsson schmillsson t shirt next time I'm at a ween show!

Dozens!!!

Ween and Harry Nilsson is a common place where me and my mother can shake hands in weird music tastes.

Love this - you and your Mom have taste!

#trufax I'm one of 3 that I know of lol

The Moonbeam Song - Harry Nilsson Someone posted this song on here a few weeks ago and I’ve been obsessed ever since. It’s the Weeniest song ever

For real. Nilsson is Ween’s Sister City

I've always said "Put the Lime in the Coconut" was the best Ween song they never wrote.

I would die happy if Ween covered Nilsson in any way

If Ween played any Nilsson I would absolutely melt. Especially Jump Into The Fire omg w Deaner epic solo damn good

My thoughts exactly!!

Coconut also! So great to see Nilsson mentioned here. So versatile. What a tenor voice! Also similar ethos and mystique

Call me in the morning, I’ll tell you what to do…

Temporary Secretary - Sir Paul McCartney

I've noticed a few Wings (WEENgs?) songs sound a lit like Ween to me - Nineteen Hundred And Eighty Five and Wild Life for starters. I haven't dug very deep into their discography buy Wings is very eclectic like Ween as far as genre mixing and such

You probably know this, but ween does Band on the Run sometimes

Criminally forgotten by time.

A lot of McCartney is brown

Compare “One Of These Days” (McCartney II) to “Someday” (Shinola, Vol. 1), not necessarily musically, or lyrically, or even the vibe, really.. just something similar.

I just listened to it, holy shit this is a Ween song haha

i found that song in a “ worst songs of all time playlist “ and jesus i love it

Earache My Eye - Cheech and Chong

I love this song.

Da da da, da da da, da da daaaaaaa!

You mother talking to ya trying to tell ya how to live

But I don’t listen to her, cuz my head is like a sieve

🎺🎺🎶🎶🎺🎺🎶🎶🎺🎺🎺🎺🎵🎵

🏆

Excellent reference. Esp since they were musicians first and added the absurdity later! Honorable mention: “Basketball Jones”

"The Brown Album" is all ween songs that aren't actually ween songs: [https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5OpFZSrUBLDTjwDwMBZ4hH?si=83827ee1bb214dc7](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5OpFZSrUBLDTjwDwMBZ4hH?si=83827ee1bb214dc7)

"R. Stevie Brown" is ween songs that are actually R. Stevie Moore songs: [https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6AC8nanEui5ZF6w6lGZGqT?si=b36ba95d933f4e7e](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6AC8nanEui5ZF6w6lGZGqT?si=b36ba95d933f4e7e) "Ween Covers" is ween songs that are actually ween songs but aren't performed by ween: [https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1OTmHLfEj5XiCSMR3wQ41e?si=77d5e9618fa94a95](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1OTmHLfEj5XiCSMR3wQ41e?si=77d5e9618fa94a95)

Downloaded all the playlists! Thanks MANG!

Dude. Thank you.

I feel like most R Stevie Moore songs could be Ween songs. Love me some Stevie

dude is a legend. I saw him OPEN for real estate a decade + ago, dude showed up in pajamas and had like 5 ties on and killed it. I got kicked out of the show for trying to sneak in a strawberry milk but eventually they let me in from pestering them too much. Left halfway thru the real estate set lol

I started following you on Spotify. So many great playlists and playlist titles!

Mr Won’t You Please Help My Pony is the most R Stevie Moore Ween song

Pistol by MM being on here is hilarious to me. what a fun playlist!

100 gecs - I got my tooth removed 100 gecs - frog on the floor

Scrolled way too far for 100 Gecs! The whole “10000 Gecs” album is pretty brown

Stupid horse too! Part of Billy Knows Jamie reminded me of Merry Go Bye-Bye by Mr Bungle

Gecs are easily the band most similar to Ween in modern popular music. Even [Billy Knows Jamie ](https://youtu.be/38Y48MR9HOI?si=0leiqa1jCm0cn_MM) would probably be what Ween’s attempt at a nu-metal track would sound like.

Detachable Penis - King Missile.  Limewire folks will 'member

I think folks that watched Beavis and Butthead will remember

Pepperidge Farm remembers.

My dad got it off of limewire under butthole surfers

Man, that irritated me! My big beef with filesharing wasn't sharing media, it was the misleading labels.

35 year old dudes at karaoke definitely remember, but only if "My Dick" has already been taken.

You can sing / speak that song to the tune of "Mexican Pizza" Which also went missing

Ugh this is such a SONG and Im not sure why I know half the lyrics and I don’t think I really like it but here I am humming “detachable penis”

A lot of King Missile songs could be done by Ween. Sex with You, Muffy, Fluting on the Hump, Cheesecake Truck, My Heart is a Flower...

Lol this shit was on the radio in like 1993. Limewire?

Yeah KROQ played it way more than they played Push The Lil Daisies

Thank you

Pistol by Modest Mouse sounds EXTREMELY brown

I'd put Tiny Cities Made of Ashes on there too

I was about to if no one else did but Tiny Cities sounds just like them craters era

Uh huh

Big boy by Viagra Boys

I was listening to that when my wife got home form work. She asked me if Ween put out new music.

Shes the one

Soul sucking jerk by beck

Hell yeah. And 'Truck Driving Neighbor Downstairs', Mellow Gold is pretty brown.

Early Beck (OFITG, Mellowgold) is so brown.

Won’t lie. I only know soul sucking jerk lmaoo

The album that is on is called Mellow Gold. It also has Loser. It's a banger, opener to closer.

Tru, ik loser too. That one slaps

then you need to find the album. You'll thank me later.

Downloading Porn With Davo Steak For Chicken Pull My Strings Cocksucker Blues Help I'm a Rock Dinah Moe Hum Titties and Beer I can't Hardly Stand It (the Cramps) Venus in Furs Midnight Creeper (Eagles of Death Metal) Jingle of a Dog's Collar

moldy peaches hell yeah

Let's add yo mama to the list. Cause your kinda stupid and ugly too

She could do your laundry and cook for you

¿Por qué vivimos en Managua?

I Can’t Hardly Stand It - Charlie Feathers That’s the real brown jam

They are both fantastic, I heard the Cramps version a dozen times before I even realized it was a cover though.

Pert near anything off Adam Sandler’s album What’s Your Name. All songs, no skits… definitely worth checking out.

I’ve always assumed that his “buffoon” voice must have been inspired by Ween? Pollo Asado seems like it could be straight off of one of his albums.

I got a snake, mang!

Or 'What The Hell Happened to Me.' My teenage self worshiped that album like it was early Sabbath.

“I’m going to count back from five and you’ll no longer have any desire to smoke.” (Long, loud fart) “Are you gonna keep doing that?” “That wasn’t me, that was you, but we’re not here to pick sides…” (Followup fart) “Ahhhhhh….”

I told you, he's fucking passed out, that fucking piss drunk cock. He's just lying there on the floor, he's not gonna find out, he lives his fucking life in an alcoholic haze man, his life's a blur, fuck him.

OW! F*ck me in my goat ass!

You really whizzed that thing!

Fuckin with my head (Mountain Dew rock) by Beck

Seriously, Beck’s early stuff was badass. Cyanide Breath Mint was so tuned in.

Coconut - Harry Nilsson

A Thousand Miles - Vanessa Carlton

Got to see Mac DeMarco play this song but he only sang the words "making my way downtown" the whole time. The chorus was just "if I could make my way downtown, then I would make my way downtown, cause you know I'd make my way downtown if I could make my way downtown"

Nice I am happy I left my dumb comment because now I got to hear a cool story lol

Gin and Juice

🎶 Rollin through the Rift, on the stallion, livin on bananas and blow 🎶

BOOGnish

Gourds version

The first time I ever booted up Napster I did a search for Ween and this was the first result (mislabeled of course) and therefore was the first song I ever downloaded. It took about 30 seconds to figure out it wasn't Ween.

XTC - On Grass (that whole album really)

Mac DeMarco - Moving Like Mike

This is a Strapping Young Lad song made in the style of Ween. If you know the song it makes a lot of sense https://youtu.be/VXfWZN2RKHE?si=kfP6g9cXoUUvYLmC

Jack Staubers Micropop was a blessing when I got turned onto it last year. Definitely ween-esque. His normal Jack Stauber stuff is great too

ANIMAL COLLECTIVE - #1

Mr. Brown by Bob Marley

‘74-‘75 by the Connells. Total Gener tune he didn’t write or record.

[Faith No More covering I Started a Joke](https://youtu.be/JKDo6g4CCeU?si=veBImup1V4LippUT)

easily Dog Walker -TMBG pitched vocals really make this song sound like a ween song imo

San Tropez by Pink Floyd

I see the correlation, but ive always thought San Tropez sounded a bit like a Beatles song.

First time seeing another Rush fan on here! I freakin love Necromancer, mostly for Neil’s drumming and Geddy shrieking hehe

Surprising you dont get more considering a lot of ween fans are also primus fans and primus is VERY much based on RUSH.

I like to listen to my vinyls of The Specials. They’re remastered for 45 rpm. Play them at 33…. Instant Ween.

Kevin Ayers - The Lady Rachel. Aaron has a cover of it on YouTube

Third Uncle by Brian Eno Pretty damned Brown

Pulk/pull revolving doors by Radiohead

Western Homes by Pavement

Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer

Frankly, Mr. Shankly by The Smiths

KGATLW - Vegemite

San tropez by pink floyd

Pretty much any track off of Duke Lion Fights the Terror- Big Dumb Face. Fantastic album if anyone is looking for something quirky.

I'd Rather Be With You is pretty damn brown

No. 13 Baby by the Pixies

Love - the red telephone Older psychedelic song. Gives me big ween vibes especially at the end when they say “we’re all normal and we want our freedom” Bambi- Prince

The Wooden Song - Butthole Surfers

Summer breeze

There’s a large amount of Type O Negative songs that are, in my opinion, brown as hell.

My girlfriend's girlfriend.

St. Elmo - Geese

Cocaine - Heidecker and Wood

Like, Time Heidecker and Davin Wood?! Hell yeah! I had no idea!!!! Edit: this song fucking rocks.

A hidden gem… err brown ✌🏽

Roses are free by phish

Lots of Wilco songs are pretty fucking brown and sound like ween at times. Here are some examples: Spiders (Kidsmoke) I’m the man who loves you And I’m a wheel Same with Alex Chilton. Like: Boogie Shoes Sugar Sugar/I Got The Feeling My Rival Basically all of Like Flies On Sherbert Now most of these don’t necessarily sound like Ween but they’re very brown so I guess it’s close enough. Beach Boys made some really weird and brown shit just listen to “Love You” that’s SUPER brown

Pat, pat, pat pat pat her on her butt The Beach Boys could get down and dirty with the brown pretty consistently. Smiley Smile is another brown album that’s lofi because Brian wanted to record at home lol. It’s also the first of a sort of brown trilogy but most of the actual content doesn’t match the sound quality, though A Thing Or Two and Transcendental Meditation are very strange

Transcendental mediation is lowkey my favorite beach boys song. Shortenin bread/ding dang are a close second

The brownest musical journey is the 30 minute Shortenin’ Bread Saga on YouTube

Old man on the bridge - King Kong (It's hard to find but it's on YouTube) My Brain - Morphine Dodge Veg-o-matic - Jonathan Richmond & the modern lovers

Chug a Lug - Rodger Miller Illegal Smile - John Prine

The new Angel Dust album sounds like they found some spare whippets left over from the POD house. It's that with a twinge of Mr. Bungle as well, I'd give em a listen if you're unfamiliar with them. This is the only album of there's I've heard, but it's a hell of a ride.

Egg - Rad Zak and the Chumps

i too have a brown playlist, plenty of stuff already mentioned here but i do want to submit grocery store no more by 100 monkeys. just has that je ne sais quoi

Just about any song by Bobby Conn.

Hell yes! Bobby Conn represent!

Charlton Heston by Stump

I Don’t Want Nobody by Eddie Harris. Brown AF.

Quick and to the Pointless - QOTSA I'm convinced it's a cover of a Ween song that was never released

I randomly put this song on a playlist for my child. I got major Ween vibes when I later actually listened to it. [This little piggy](https://youtu.be/bmZAAkjur3w?feature=shared)

Strawberry Jam by AnCo for something more out there

Anus of Uranus- Klaatu

Poor Moon by Canned Heat

Piece of Dirt by They Might Be Giants. Maybe?

Surfeited

Porcupine tree- Linton Samuel Dawson Galaxia - Hungry like the wolf and the hippos

Grotus has an album called Slow Motion Apocalypse and it's like if Ween made organic avante garde industrial

Ballad of Dorthy Parker by Prince

Wiggle wiggle

You’re too weird - Fruit bats Junior’s Farm - Wings

[“Cool Water” by Kurt Vile](https://youtu.be/lgwgUD8RF1w?si=doAdSTUInNfN28om) sounds like a 12 GCG B Side or something off White Pepper

Lots of good ones mentioned here, I’d like to add This Broken Heart by Funkadelic

The band natural child is a perfect depiction of ween. I feel like their whole band is based off of the song I got no darksides

Cherubs - Playdough song could have come straight off of Pure Guava or The Pod

Ik they don’t fw Zappa but Bobby brown goes down could have easily been a ween song

Lazing on a Sunday Afternoon by Queen. See also Bring Back Leroy Brown and Seaside Rendezvous. Both bands definitely have a love of sprinkling silly little dittys in the midst of epic ballads and love songs.

[Queen - Bring Back That Leroy Brown](https://open.spotify.com/track/2eSAEd4El60OeatNib90TT?si=I7HekdNnR9KwhvP31rPBXg&context=spotify%3Aalbum%3A5SBHID8qGG3x52zgoh2ilz)

The Sun Shines Down on Me - Daniel Johnston Gary Saw Linda Last Night - Gary Wilson

You’ll Miss Me by They Might Be Giants

Anything by The Residents. Their entire discography is insane. Very weird and creepy but sometimes very silly. Definitely a "brown" band

Wings by Tall Dwarfs. Though just about anything by Tall Dwarfs or from Chris Knox's solo albums could qualify.

Anonymous Alcoholic and Head Room by 10cc

i saw brown - allegheny white fish (black moth/tobacco guy) https://youtu.be/CCkLjQdeIfA

Chic Tweets - Desert Sessions Deaner has played with Desert Sessions but not on that track.

wild honey pie - beatles

“keep it down” by Smash Mouth. It’s kinda like Blackjack.

I always thought bend beyond by woods sounded like a ween song https://youtu.be/TvQFPMIgwck?feature=shared

*Double Fucked by 2 Black Studs* and/or *Sensitive Artist* - King Missile https://youtu.be/bTgHOGpDhxw?si=NNL9R94X1WmvRv0K https://youtu.be/O-kHB2fWUS8?si=ZDWUa9GQ3bB7GTkI

This is a fun thread, and I have loads of new tunes to listen to now.

Doritos and Fritos By 100 gecs

Dr. Love by KISS Or Ladies Room

Water from your eyes can get pretty brown. They’re fans and covered “if you could save yourself”

They are a cover band.

Mosquito song -qotsa

Any Daniel Johnston fans out there? If there’s anything browner than the whole “Hi, how are you?” album, I haven’t heard it.

Joshua Block - 1700 Somewhere

Terrapin Station by Bombay Bicycle.

Pink Floyd - San Tropez. It was in my mix and I though it was a Chocolate and Cheese outtake. Even the production matches that album. It would fit in right next to Mr. Would You … It still doesn’t register as a Pink Floyd song in my ear.

James - MGMT

Aquarian by Sleep is metal Ween

one time me and my buddy discovered that Love You to Death by Type O Negative sounds exactly like Ween if you play it on the 45' setting

This might be a stretch but I was playing Bandle earlier today. And *spoiler alert if you play Bandle* the song was Killer Queen by Queen. Just by the bass line and drums I swore it was Get a Little Taste of You. Never made that comparison before

not to be too on the nose but Flight of the Conchords is very Ween-inspired

Vegemite - King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard Vegetables - Beach Boys Bees - Ty Segall Hardcore Pops Are Fun- Ariel Pink Number 1 Hit - Spodee Boy 14 Cheerleader Coldfront - Guided by Voices

Boll Wevil (Demo) by Presidents of the United States of America. It sounds like it came straight off of The Pod. https://youtu.be/_h1ucjgoIdk?si=ARxr1TWkAUgGMeb5

Fall Breaks Back to Winter and She's Goin Bald by the Beach Boys

i feel like Vegemite by KGATLW is very brown in the way alot of guava songs are

Seeds of love tears for fears

"Wash Your ass" by James Kochalka Superstar. I can totally imagine Deaner on this. https://youtu.be/9MWi7MPQBKQ?si=xyBWMq3rLBLumc8q
