The live version with a crack set of veteran Nashville session musicians “The Shit Creek Boys” turns it into a 15-minute epic! And, yes, it is about a dog.
I do as well - I’m far from one of the rabid Ween fanboys who I liken to Phish and Grateful Dead fans who make the music their entire personality and I do prefer the more pop end of their output.
I know Spotify is a bit of a no no these days but years ago, I made this playlist of my fave Ween tracks
Yeah, know what you mean about some fans. Unfortunately, never seen them live myself. I wasn’t aware of them last time they played Melbourne, doubt they will again. Have you heard the version of “I can’t put my finger on it” from the Painting the Town Brown live album? Wowsers!
The Little Barry LP this comes from is extremely disappointing to listen to IMO, very flat and quiet, almost like there has been a bit of a misspress. This performance on the other hand. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c3VLBnNKS7c&t=129s
