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.

Pork Roll Egg and Cheese
Ween Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can feel you breathe, it's like a mega-wedge inside, please don't hide
So momma, if you please, pass me the pork roll egg and cheese
If you please, on a kaiser bun
Momma, if you please, pass me the pork roll egg and cheese
If you please, on a kaiser bun
But we must further ourselves on
So dynamic is life, staring into the sight's
Not right, but wrong in a good way
So momma, if you please, pass me the pork roll egg and cheese
If you please, on a kaiser bun
Momma, if you please, pass me the pork roll egg and cheese
If you please, on a kaiser bun
When you've had your fun, and your work is done, you must not succumb
I can feel you breathe, it's like a mega-wedge inside, please don't hide
So momma, if you please, pass me the pork roll egg and cheese
If you please, on a kaiser bun
Momma, if you please, pass me the pork roll egg and cheese
If you please, on a kaiser bun
Momma, if you please, pass me the pork roll egg and cheese
If you please, on a kaiser bun
Kaiser bun
Pork roll egg and cheese
(Zzzz, eeezz
That's the end
That's it, dudes
Thanks, Five)
The lyrics to Ween's "Pork Roll Egg and Cheese" are a bit nonsensical, but they seem to convey a sense of enjoying the simple things in life. The opening lines suggest that even when your fun and work are over, you should not give up. The singer can feel the other person's breath, and it's like a mega-wedge inside, indicating that perhaps they are feeling overwhelmed or stressed. The plea to not hide may be a call to be more open and honest with each other.
The chorus is a repeated request to the singer's mother for a pork roll egg and cheese sandwich on a kaiser bun. While the sandwich itself is not particularly important, it seems to represent a desire for comfort and familiarity. The verses again touch on the theme of moving forward in life, with a reference to a drained fruit and the need to keep progressing. The final repetition of the chorus is accompanied by some strange, nonsensical sounds, indicating perhaps that the song is meant to be a bit tongue-in-cheek or surreal.
