HEY LITTLE BOY
WHAT YA GOT THERE
HEY LITTLE BOY
KIND SIR
IT'S A MOLLUSK I'VE FOUND
>DID YOU FIND IT IN THE SANDY GROUND?
>DOES IT EMULATE THE OCEAN SOUND?
i CAN HARDLY WAIT TILL I'M DANCIN' IN THE SHOW TONIGHT
Okay I gotta ask because it's been bothering me for a super long time:
In The Mollusk, the lyric says
>You see there are three things that separate the mollusk from the sand
But the only thing they give as an example of something separating the mollusk from the sand is:
>The waking of all creatures that live on the land
What the fuck are the other two things?
DANCE JIMMY
its wandering eye and ability to walk amongst them you incel
The mollusk's wandering eye and the glancing back to the sea aren't listed as the three things, it's said as a continuation of the first point.
oh, but they are mentioned and those are three things in total, would you expect deener or geener to explicitly say HERE THIS IS THE SECOND AND THIRD
The lyrics reference the Trinity, but they never list the two other things. The guy is asking whether or not the mollusk can gaze at the sun with it's wandering eye, which again is part of the first reason.
however, can the sand gaze at the sun?
Yes, that's all it does. It sits there gazing at the sun.
I always had this same issue, and I'm not buying the explanation that other poster just gave.
I get where they're coming from but it just doesn't add up.
ah, but where in is its WANDERing eye?
THE TWO OTHER THINGS ARE DEAN AND GENE WEEN, JUST LIKE HOW 12 GOLDEN COUNTRY GREATS HAS ONLY 10 SONGS.
FUCK
FEED ME FEEED MEEE
The wandering eye is part of the first part, the waking of all creatures. If the only thing that separates the mollusk from the sand is that it has a wandering eye, then all awoken creatures must also be mollusks by nature of also possessing eyes.
and they are. every animal is a mollusk as we are as well, it is not that they are animals, it is that they are awake user.
This is honestly the most reasonable explanation I've heard.
Mutiliated lips give a kiss on the wrist of the wormlike tips of tentacles expanding in my mind
Yeah man they do that stuff a lot. Our two clever boys.
hmmm, I dunno, I like what the other guy said about it being Deener and Geener more
the point of the whole album is literally just to make fun of prog rock (while also being a fucking GOAT prog rock album)
I wouldn't read into the lyrics, it's fucking Ween after all.
midget man provoking violence....listen not to what he says
i agree actually, based dean and gene ween
gener and deaner are american heroes
GET OFF MY ASS YA WEE BITTY FUCK
IF A PULL OUT MA CLAYMAOR YER SHIT OUTTA LUCK
IT'S BEEN
ONE WEEK SINCE YOU LOOKED AT ME
SHUT THE FUCK UP
Any love for the Golden Eel? was always my fav
12 Golden Country Greats refers to the dozen legendary Nashville session musicians who play on the album AKA The Shit Creek Boys
the Eel is beyond comprehension
YES I FOUND IT ON THE GROUND EMULATING THE OCEAN SOUND

CANCER :(

STRAP ON THAT JIMMY PAGE
kind sir it's my fairly large uncut penis
MY DADDY DIED, LEFT ME ALL HE'S GOT
This is the most profound thing I’ve read on this stupid board
I love Buckingham Green but I’m never finding anybody to get on board with that epic guitar solo
It's gonna be a long night
For me? It's the random dog barking.
Such a banger, also Buckingham Green is fucking splendid ween is too good,
I wanna learn how to play that solo
- also i perform ween karaoke at a bar locally, ive done the mollusk and piss up a rope, best reactions desu
Spinal Meningitis got me down
I like how even Yea Forums loves Ween.
They're just that good.
I'll probs get sound counter posts but I'm leaving the thread after this anyway.
By the way if you're in portland, check out Brown Stallion. They're a buttfuck amazing Ween cover band, I got to hear Demon Sweat, The Final Alarm, and a ton of other shit I thought I'd never hear live and done right.
