I think non-fans or casual fans just have this preconceived notion of Ween as a funny joke band, when really their dark side far outweighs their funny side, so they attribute every song they hear as a joke or something they're making fun of.
"I consider Ween to be dark, crackwhore, fucking hell." - Gene Ween
@spoonman462 - Totally right. Just saw them at Lolla! Awesome show. I just kept thinking how ballsy they are to have opened with Spinal Meningitis. F*cking Awesome and F*CKING DARK STUFF!!!
Brings me back to 1994 friday night in highschool tripping my balls listening to this song. If I had a dollar for everytime I did acid / mushrooms and listened to ween....
thanks for posting this video. It brings me back to a happy place.
This band is sooo funny me and my friends just laff at fatty.... But this is just a joke band. They are soooo aweful. This guy needs to be on SNL, ppl would get a kick outta this weird chubster
@BigJilm212 They arent a joke band. This song is a joke. Look up their other music. They are fucking amazing. Ween is one of the greatest and most versital bands of all time. They have more talent then most bands. They do a lot of joke songs, must they do a lot of serious songs. They aren't awful you dumb fuck. And gener isnt always fat. haha look at 2003 clips. Skinny as fuck (thanks to the cocaine).
@BigJilm212 wow finally some coherent thinking. maybe if the band actually all gets meningitis as my son did they will play better.... just an embarassment to music
@khudsondowdy The song isn't meant to poke fun. From an interview a few yrs ago-
"I interrupted Aaron to tell him about how one of my friends, refuses to stay in the room whenever someone plays “Spinal Meningitis (Got Me Down)”.
“That’s good, and that’s what I want, because it’s fucked up for us, too. That’s why we do it. That song didn’t come out of any kind of making fun of. That song came out of fear of death, fear of needles in the spine, and that’s not cool at all. That’s really bad news."
WEEN are way better and way more creative than any band these days. If it was the 60s, these guys would have been right up these with the Beatles, Kinks, Jefferson Airplane and much more.
@imeqsmd Richard Branson is a closet Ween fan..he's actually President of the Ween Fan Club and he named his two dogs Deaner and Gener....just fucking with ya..i dunno, but it would be funny!
Is it just me, or did Coleman have a dread-mullet?

@spoonman462 I think the humor adds an element of not giving a fuck/ punk influence. Im not too familiar with the band, just a thought.
