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.

Object
Ween Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I?d like to get to know you better
Paste you across my body
You?re just an object to me
you?re just a piece of meat
And I am the butcher
I love you better, love you forever
why sit in the shade
Drink what we made from our lovers cup
Dreams don?t always come when you fall asleep
You?re just an object to me
I?m gonna do something wrong
Nobody?s gonna like it
But I?ve got my pride and my time isn?t free
You?re just an object to me
you?re just an object to me
I feel a little better
They found your sweater
You?re just an object to me
The lyrics to Ween's song "Object" are a scathing commentary on the objectification of women in society. The song's narrator sees women as little more than objects to be used for his own pleasure, with no regard for their feelings or humanity. He speaks directly to an unnamed woman, telling her that she is "just an object" to him, and that he would like to "get to know [her] better" so that he can "paste [her] across [his] body". He then goes on to compare himself to a butcher and the woman to a piece of meat, stating that he loves her and will always love her, but that she still remains nothing more than an object in his eyes.
The song's chorus reinforces this theme, with the singer repeating the phrase "you're just an object to me" multiple times. He then goes on to talk about drinking what he and his lover have made from a "lovers cup", but cautions that "dreams don't always come when you fall asleep", suggesting that even in moments of intimacy, the objectification and exploitation of women remains a pervasive problem in our society.
The song's final stanza features the singer proclaiming that he is going to do something wrong, but that he doesn't care if anyone likes it, because he has his "pride" and his "time isn't free". The song ends with a chilling reminder, as the singer tells the woman that she is "just an object" once more, and that he feels a little better now that they have found her sweater.
Line by Line Meaning
You?re just an object to me
I do not care for you as a person or hold any emotional attachment towards you
I?d like to get to know you better
However, I have some desire to explore you physically
Paste you across my body
I am interested in using your body for my own physical satisfaction
You?re just an object to me
Again, you hold no value as a person
you?re just a piece of meat
You are viewed as nothing more than a physical object for my consumption
And I am the butcher
I am in control and will use you at my own will
I love you better, love you forever
The physical act of using you brings me pleasure, but there is no emotional connection or commitment
why sit in the shade
Why not indulge in the physical act of love?
Drink what we made from our lovers cup
Let us enjoy the physical act of sex together
Dreams don?t always come when you fall asleep
Sexual desires can be fulfilled while awake
You?re just an object to me
Again, you are no more than a physical object to be used
I?m gonna do something wrong
I am going to engage in something taboo or morally unacceptable
Nobody?s gonna like it
Others may not agree with my decision
But I?ve got my pride and my time isn?t free
Despite potential backlash, I will act on my desires as I value my personal autonomy and am not willing to waste time pursuing something else
You?re just an object to me
Again, you are simply an object meant to fulfill my desires
I feel a little better
I have obtained some satisfaction from using you physically
They found your sweater
There is a sense of detachment and lack of concern for your personal belongings or well-being
You?re just an object to me
The cycle of using your body without any regard for you as a person continues

Do the same while listening to the likes of “Little Birdy” and “Buenas Tardes Amigo” and “Argus” and “Alcan Road” and “It’s Gonna Be Alright” and “If You Could Save Yourself (You’d Save Us All” and “I play it Off Legit” and “How High Can You Fly” and “A Tear for Eddie” and “Don’t Shit Where You Eat” and “Freedom of ‘76” and omfg “Did You See Me?” and “Buckingham Green” and and and “I Fell in Love Today” and of course “King Billy”... how could I forget!... and “Object” and “Piss Up a Rope” and “Slow Down Boy” and yes, “Vallejo”, too.
Ween clearly changed my life... or at least my appreciation of music.
One of the few times I had the pleasure of conversation, I asked about whether “Joppa Road” was influenced by the Joppa Road near which I once lived and Dean said, “Yup,” all I could do was smile and say, “I knew it!”

Ween is a seriously under appreciated talented genius of a musical talent. I’m clearly only a little bit in love and have been for years and years.

Simple song, simple lyrics. No remorse, no guilt. No Hollywood bullshit. He kills and he likes it. It's just a song.
@RawKetchup
@kenwes69 It really does though
@bonitabromeliads9802
Most Hollywood movies about serial killers don't have guilt or remorse.
@wakawakawilly9365
He does have his pride...
@magnachef9
Deaner's lead tone is always the best!!
@priddisbambam
First time I ever did mushrooms I was fifteen and Laid in the ground listening to the mullosk over abnd over. Fell in love with them even more after that. Now I’ve listened to everything on mushrooms and it’s as if it was made by people on drugs or something ..... lol
@tunaburga
My friend has the same exact same story pretty much, the mollusk came on randomly and he heard it. Now he's one with ween, and don't know where he ends and ween begins. He's a weener

@tomneeley9218
@@kyndness that's an awesome story about Joppa road, and the fact you got to meet deaner and ask him about it is even more awesome. My soul would probably leave my body if I was ever in the presence of Dean. I love Gene to. I love them both but I am more "fond" of deaner. Lol. The way he plays just does something to me I can't explain it.
