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.

You name it easy, baby, I'll name it, oooh
Would you name despondent monkey, I'll go on and name it too
Molly, Molly, Molly, Molly, Molly, Molly, Molly [Repeat x 5]
Cough me a glob of hardened mercy and I'll zip it, oooh
Tell you fetch that mercy and you know I'm gonna fetch it too
You fetch, you fetch that mercy and you know he's gonna dig it too
So tell it to me baby and tell me wishes, oooh
Come on the beat's approaching and it's time to stop on, oooh
Baby, Eddie Dingle's coming over and Bobby's uncle, oooh
Molly, Molly, Molly, Molly, Molly, Molly, Molly [Repeat x 5]
Actually, Rip Van Winkle and a-tinkle dinkle dinkle oooh oooh
Rip Van Winkle say "Fuck You"
Man I miss you man Rip Van Winkle say "Fuck You"

The Ween's song "Molly" seems to be about fulfilling someone's desires to feel wanted and loved. The singer tends to be a people pleaser who is willing to do whatever it takes to make the other person happy. He is always ready to satisfy the desires of his significant other, whatever they may be. In the first verse, the singer is asking the person to name anything they want, and he would give it to them. The chorus chants the name "Molly" several times, which could be the name of the person they're singing to or an object of desire.
The second verse also contains a similar sentiment, where the singer is making promises of fetching something that the other person wants, and he's willing to go to any extent to make it happen. The third verse mentions another person coming over, and it could be interpreted that they're also interested in fulfilling this person's desires. The song ends with the phrase "Rip Van Winkle say 'Fuck You'," which seems to suggest frustration and resentment towards someone or something.
Overall, "Molly" seems to be a song about pleasing someone and making them feel loved, but also about frustration and potential resentment. The name "Molly" could be symbolic of a person, a drug, or an object of desire that the singer is willing to obtain.

i was a little surprised when i found out that this was one of the most ignored Ween albums. fucking how? The Pod is a 10/10 album, if there ever was one
@GIitchclan12
I really couldn't say myself, I guess it could be kinda out there for some. One of my favorites though.
@tammybelanger6617

I agree with Tammy Belanger!!
@bensmall6252
As much as I love Ween, they have 8 other albums that I revisit more but I still enjoy this album. The only album I dislike is the country album (despite there being a few gems on that one)
@rainbowkittenzz244
I avoided the pod at first because it was just too brown for me at the time. Then I was initiated and my life was changed for good
