Ween self-released several cassette albums from their formation until 1989. Afterward, they put out three officially-released lo-fi albums: GodWeenSatan: The Oneness (1990); The Pod (1991); and Pure Guava (1992). For Pure Guava, the band signed with major label Elektra Records. The album spawned the single "Push th' Little Daisies", which was a chart hit in Australia and the United States. Under Elektra, the band released four professionally-recorded albums: Chocolate and Cheese (1994); 12 Golden Country Greats (1996); The Mollusk (1997); and White Pepper (2000). They later returned to independent labels for their albums Quebec (2003) and La Cucaracha (2007). After a 28-year run, Freeman quit the band in 2012, citing the need to focus on his alcohol and drug addiction issues. Ween reformed in late 2015 and toured extensively with no stated plans to release new recorded material.
For their first ten years of existence, Ween performed live as a duo backed by a Digital Audio Tape. With the release of Chocolate and Cheese, they expanded to a four-piece act, later adding a fifth member as well. Their live members include Claude Coleman Jr., Dave Dreiwitz, and Glenn McClelland. Ween also collaborated extensively with Andrew Weiss, who joined the band as a bassist in 1989 and also produced five of their nine studio albums. Despite never receiving much mainstream recognition, Ween developed a large, devoted cult following and garnered critical acclaim.

Cover It With Gas and Set It on Fire
Ween Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cover it with gas and set it on fire
He's a hobble with a wobble at the gang raid
Cover it with gas and set it on fire
It's an earth chock, war plot, peppermint lasso Jimmy
Cover it with gas and set it on fire
It's an earth chock, war plot, peppermint lasso
Cover it with gas and set it on fire
Cover it with gas and set it on fire
Cover it with gas and set it on fire
Cover it with gas and set it on fire
Thank you!
The lyrics to Ween's song "Cover It With Gas and Set It on Fire" are quite abstract, filled with nonsensical phrases that seem to depict a chaotic scene of violence and destruction. The repeated line, "He's a hobble with a wobble at the gang raid," suggests a person who is unsteady and possibly disoriented, in the midst of a gang war or other dangerous situation. The character of "Jimmy" is introduced with the phrase "war plot," which hints at some kind of conspiracy or plan involving violence. The use of "peppermint lasso" is particularly intriguing, as it evokes both the idea of a sweet, innocent flavor and the control or restraint of a lasso.
The chorus of "Cover it with gas and set it on fire" is an ominous mantra, urging listeners to destroy whatever it is they're facing. The verses, with their jarring imagery and surreal phrases, create a sense of unease and chaos. In a way, the song seems to be a commentary on the destructive nature of violence and aggression, urging listeners to reject these impulses in favor of creating a more peaceful world.

I think a lot of the non-ween fans here are questioning whether or not they're really singing the word gang rape. And I think a lot of the ween fans have no doubt in their mind

In the late 1300's famed explorer Leif Garrett sailed the North American Oceans with his swine Vikings. They raped and pillaged and listened to Ween. This video is an accurate rendition.
