Through the years, the band went through many line-up changes, with Ben and John being the only constant members since the band's inception. Screeching Weasel officially broke up for (roughly) the third - and allegedly final - time on July 6, 2001.
The band did a few surprise shows between 2001-2009.
Ben Weasel reformed the group in March 2009 with a new line-up, and without John Jughead. Ben had released solo albums that were the same just in his name. John finally settled for T-Shirt money for being an original member of the band and a royalties for a handful songs he co-wrote, and let Ben play as Screeching Weasel with the hundreds of song lyrics and music has written.
Former Members include renowned punk rock record producer Mass Giorgini on bass guitar, Dan Panic (born Dan Sullivan) on drums, and Danny Vapid (born Dan Schafer,on guitar or bass, depending on the band's necessity. Dan is currently fronting The Methadones and formerly of Sludgeworth)
Members of Screeching Weasel have gone on to form bands such as: The Methadones, The Mopes, Even in Blackouts, and Sweet Black And Blue.
Screeching Weasel has also included members of Green Day, Sludgeworth, Common Rider, Squirtgun, and Teen Idols.
During one of the band's many break-ups, Weasel and Vapid also formed the Riverdales. Additionally, Ben Weasel released a solo record in 2002 entitled Fidatevi.
In 2004 Ben Weasel rescinded all of the Screeching Weasel and Riverdales masters from Lookout! Records in the wake of long-running financial and personal conflicts. The masters were subsequently licensed to and reissued by Asian Man Records.
On December 7, 2010, it was announced that Screeching Weasel will release a new album on March 15, 2011, the band's first album in eleven years. The album will be titled First World Manifesto and will be released on Fat Wreck Chords. It will contain 14 new songs and is produced by Mike Kennerty of The All-American Rejects. It was announced that the label will also be releasing the back catalogs of Screeching Weasel, the Riverdales, and Ben Weasel.
On March 18, 2011, during Screeching Weasel's South by Southwest Festival performance at the Scoot Inn in Austin, Texas, Foster reached from the stage and slapped a female audience member who had spit on him several times. This sent off a fire storm web frenzy from all of the self -righteous non Screeching Weasel fans. Ben apologized for his actions, but all of the perfect people who never loose there cool were not satisfied.
Ben and his hired band had a falling out. He found out who his true friends and fans were. After over a year of spending time with his family and raising a new baby, he released Carnival of Schadenfreude EP in 2011 with huge interest and has resumed his music career again full swing.

Screeching Weasel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yes I am
I'm a Nazi schatze
Why'know I fight for fatherland
Little German boy
Being pushed around
Little German boy
In a German town
The song "Today Your Love Tomorrow the World" by Screeching Weasel is a controversial track that talks about a little German boy who is being pushed around in a German town. The singer of the story is a shock trooper in a stupor who fights for the fatherland. He identifies himself as a Nazi schatze and takes pride in his German heritage. The song, therefore, discusses the complexities of being German during World War II.
The lyrics showcase the boy's love for his country and his desire to fight for it. However, at the same time, it highlights the underlying cruelty of the Nazi regime and its impact on the innocent lives of German civilians. The boy is being oppressed and pushed around in his own town, which is both ironic and tragic. The line "Today your love, tomorrow, the world" is an allusion to the Nazi idea of world domination and the destruction it brings.
Overall, the song highlights the complexities of German identity during World War II and offers a commentary on the impact of the Nazi regime on the everyday lives of German citizens.

I'm a shock trooper in a stupor
I am a soldier who is dazed and confused
Yes I am
Indeed, I am
I'm a Nazi schatze
I identify as a Nazi darling
Why'know I fight for fatherland
I am fighting for my homeland
Little German boy
I am a young German boy
Being pushed around
I am being bullied or mistreated
In a German town
I am located in a town in Germany
Today your love, tomorrow the world
I may be receiving your love today, but tomorrow, my nation (Germany) will reign supreme over the world
