Ween-Mutilated Lips live MTV Oddsville 1997

[eruption257]

dancing... monkey... chef?

[frankiebaby725]

eargasm

[TheFamilyman371]

haaaaaaaahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa am i high or am i high ween my doors are always open for u to come and perform bloody cunt shirtless

[avedic]

that host looks like he belongs in the early 80s. ridiculous looking show...

[avedic]

really trippy song. love the pre-chorus...

[etejuanete3]

gross!! could someone get something for the shirtless guy? gosh Ween you should have gone somewhere else. they don't deserve you there

[stolleryvision]

this show seems very very strange... almost like they're so lame they don't deserve to have ween on their program

[420barley]

Such a clutch version of this song, such a great sound from a great band.!!!

[umm179]

As bad as this show is I would not complain if this was on the air on mtv now if it meant bands like Ween getting the publicity they deserve.

[gkoshinsky]

this is the worst show ever. i bet they hadn't even started playing before they realized they were making a horrible mistake. poor ween. i hope everyone but them in this video has herpes.

[Icix1]

Hahaha...this shit is ridiculous....

[SergeantBasterd]

2:36 - You know when you dangle keys in babies' faces? Yeah... That sums up the show.

[fuckshitfuckshitf]

black guy with the basketball hoop on his back.... now thats not rascist at all. i feel bad for ween, they probably regret ever doin this show

[KronosTheDeejay]

wtf is an Mtv?!

[Alkoholic666]

Man, I would have hated to be Ween that day... Imagine having to try and give a shit about the people on this show and the questions they might have asked. What a piece of shit show. weird for the sake of weridness, and utterly failing at it. Gotta love Ween though!

[KatoKid85]

I smoked pot with Dave Dreiwitz in my hotel the other night

[Zegonite]

My favorite part is when he says "tentacles expanding," something about that really does it for me. I also love the trippy keyboard effect in the back. When I was in high school, I hated this show (like every MTV-produced POS original show that's ever existed), but now I see there were 2 great things about it 1. this performance, 2. the amazingly hot black girl who does the sexy dance.

[Ericclapton24000]

DAVE!

[ZeppelinFloydRoses]

I can't believe I found a video where ween seem normal compared to everyone else

[ApocalypseForFree]

Best video ever, but WTF is this show? Was it about nerds, bestiality and stuff?

[mrkrinkle44]

this is a funny vid.

[megrwebb]

The chubster with no shirt looks like Torgo.

[GreetTheSacredCow]

Luckily Ween's badassery flew over the shroud of forced quirkiness that this show seemed to base itself on. Effortlessly awesome, cemented for all time. Love Ween.

[mbglosser]

yea lets just attach a basketball hoop to the back of the only black guy there.. thats definitely not racist

[mbglosser]

what the hell show was this i dont even remember it

[swingAE86]

wait. is this the official ween youtube site?

[delmarian]

@swingAE86 Deaners Chanel.

[kbilly74]

This show was weird at the time but at least they still had music. Looking back i'd prefer this show over any of the shows on MTV today

[ruckusdrummer420]

@kbilly74 mtv is still on?

[kbilly74]

@ruckusdrummer420 unfortunately yes. When MTV2 came out all they played was videos but now its just like MTV

[Grazilla1000]

did anyone see the hairy guy at 1:40?

[mutantstrain]

best performance of mutilated lips I've ever seen

[Vindicut]

I remember how crappy this show was and how bad the actors were at acting weird. Thank god this show didn't make it heh. WEEN

[Available8063]

@Vindicut Fuck you. I'm gonna kick your fucking ass This show was the best and Ween was on it because they thought so vindicunt.

[msnikish11]

@Available8063 uh this show was not the best sorry guy

[msconfabulate1]

Why does the host talk like he has Parkinson's

[BeardShorts]

@msconfabulate1 Clearly you don't know anybody with Parkinson's....

[deadreckon360]

a crab is not a mollusk

[axwell21]

Basketball hoop guy at 2:13 ftw

[bradleyrock4602]

By the way the monkey is dancing, it seems he is the only one actually listening to the song and not just dancing cause he has to. And hells yeah Gener is a genius!

[ZeppelinFloydRoses]

Gene is a genius. If only Ween were a household name. Music would be better :(

[jtd70]

no not like the crab...like the mollusk lolskees

[rufdogshavebumps]

wait so all i have to do is sit there and pretend i cant move to get a lapdance?

[tengudesu]

must be fucking weird singing a song that can cut souls like this, to a crowd like that :(

[TheDonkey420]

This video really takes a lot from he song's power.

[ericknous]

The dude in the suit is freakn out LOL!!!

[eliteturtle47]

@ericknous me and my friends watched this while high and noticed that guy too and laugh our asses off, hes tripping out hardcore on something

[ericknous]

I used to fry my fucking ass of and listen to WEEN this was the first on i really got moved by spiritualy when I was trippn BALLLS

[mountainjaz420]

my mind it broked, oisvfoigoiq;fqo h fqhrg908 139 09

[MrWalkingparadox]

OK, I understand the Ween part, but why is there a fat balding hairy guy swaying like a child molester on there. Also, why was there a basketball hoop attached to the guy in yellow's back? This confuses me in unimaginable ways and boggles the mind to think how it was possible to not laugh hysterically on the set of this show. This fat guy dancing will haunt me for years and the unanswered questions of "why?" will eventually kill me.

[ericknous]

@MrWalkingparadox U need to trip to get it LOL

[MrJAYdaC]

Every show is SWEET and deener is long winded but he smokes

[thewhiteman27]

2:31-2:40 LOL

[awfaris86]

This video is conclusive evidence that the 90's were much better than the 00's. 

[bucsage11]

oddeville mtv was the show

[BobSakamento]

Did they try to recruit you to the cult? What kind of drugs did they take? Who is that tall guy sitting down with the princess leah hairdo ? so many questions.....

[maxwolfeee]

I'm *high very *high

[ATeam192]

the hairy guy without a shirt is a poster boy for birth control

[bakshay]

...brown-issimo

[MrThismustbetheplac1]

I wish i was trippin checking this song out on the couch with the other weirdos

[cops632]

THIS SONG HELPS ME VISUALIZE MY FUCKED UP CHILDHOOD, VIOLENCE, GRAFFITI, HEROIN ADDICTION, LOST OR MURDERED FRIENDS, NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCES AND THE EPIC TRANSFORMATION TO SOBRIETY, THE ARMY, IRAQ, AN AWESOME WIFE, CHILD ON THE WAY... STRENGTH AND HONOR. THANK YOU!

[producthate]

Ween rule...stars all out

[NEGGS131]

Ween..nice..the rest...wot a pack of wankers..

[qpah]

THE GOD DAMN CRAP ISN'T A GOD DAMN MOLLUSK

[yeti30312]

BACK HAIR!!!!!!!

[Benjabola]

I like the guy in the suit.

[lynchaxxonn]

that show was fucking retarded ass clown diahrrea. AMAZING song though :)

[HouseOfProPain]

W...e...i...r...d! Love these gugs

[axwell21]

lol at guy with the basketball hoop on his back at 2:14

[realgtro]

wierd show (to say the least). cool song!

[frankbartonmusic]

1997 hard rock motherfucker

the mollusk is one of the best albums ever

salt water funk

[bradzdestroyer]

bought that album.. One of my first.. didnt even realize how good this song was till now. This show is fuckin great.

[snooters]

What's with the guy on the couch? All the other freaks are dancing!

[elchewo1]

i love ween soooooooooooo much. long live ween :-)

[bloco86]

dude that host is on speeeeeeeeeeeed

ween fucking rules

[rwk1983]

i want!!!!!!!!! the golden eel which they peformed on this show also (i dont remember if it was on the same episode but i know!!!!!! it was on oddsville cauz those two appearances are what got me into ween in the first place, beavis and butthead must get a little credit also but this is what sold me and got me to buy my first two ween records :-) the mollusk and chocolate and cheese in early 98')

[nonoyeahyeahno]

wow.

[zzzac6]

the best thing i ever saw on mtv, brown as fuck

[vannatter5]

@zzzac6 haha hell yeah

[MrNastyzProductions]

i wander why this show didnt make it...

[sydbarrett5]

MTV get off the... MTV get off the... MTV get off the air.

[nonoyeahyeahno]

Yeah right. Amazing performance. Not to discredit Dead Kennedys.

[CharlesBeefy]

Rich Brown, how appropriate

[walterroy]

AH, remember the good old days when MTV kinda tried? Listen, children and I will tell you a ancient story of a crummy corporate POS called "music television" that sometimes let it's denizens go crazy and put actual music on the air. Oh yes...they did! This was before the 24/7 reality and gay dating shows and before King and Queen Kanye and Beyonce ruled, all the way back in the mysterious times called "The 90's" oooooooo...

[iadmike]

i totally have this episode on tape somewhere. this show was amazing.

[jakefortwice]

every once and awhile truth and beauty invade the corprate power structure.

"tap all over this big world"

[schwilly75]

@jakefortwice take my hand you ugly girl LOL

[dickship2312]

Great song, dumb show.

[anotherzibber]

good old MTV

[bassystacey]

YEAH!!!! This video rocks! 1997 was the best year EVER....and this show is the shit! There's never anything that is off-the-wall like this now, just Jersey Shore crap. That's way less entertaining than a fat guy with a unibrow and a guy in a monkey outfit dancing to ween. This show's cool.

[TheSupremePeople]

What happened to shows like this? Everyone dancing in costumes to awesome music with a trippy background, its fuckin awezome.

[thekidwiththefa]

Cool performance, fuck this show though. It's like the hipsters of the 90's or something, contrived and forced weirdness.

[pwpskate]

definitly. the only time people should dance like that is under the influence of a large amount of lysergic acid.

[anotherzibber]

well said.

... but it beats my super sweet 16

[DEMONIIIK]

@thekidwiththefa Sad... I can tell that just by watching this video. It's always a sad sight when businesses try to cash in on individuality. =/

[MrROTD]

@thekidwiththefa yeah it's wierd in a bad way : /

[mrfish4lyfe]

@thekidwiththefa ur a forced and contrived hipster

this show is god compared to any the shit on mtv these days

[thekidwiththefa]

@mrfish4lyfe Eh, no. I wrote that a long time ago, and still agree with it, albeit I'd probably watch this show were it on now. It is god compared to any shit on mtv now, at least they feature good shit.

[mylegsasleep1934]

@thekidwiththefa Best comment. so true

[visigothic67]

A haiku comment-

Ween always provides,

pure essence of universe.

Whats with the fat guy?

[LiquidPete2099]

This song gives me chills.

[hawkeyesurfer]

Good performance. I like the sound of that keyboard, not sure what it is.

[molfie]

Insane nostalgia comes to me when listening to this, the sound quality may be shitty but it is 100% better than the cassette tape i used to have this song on and wore out from constant listening and rewinding.

[jakke007]

at least there is WEEN.

let's just enjoy the song.

I've said please calm it down

[thepossessor]

that host is a tool, who thinks he's cool, but he's just a fool

[p300grim]

Fucking A.

[Sabored]

this is version is better than the album version

[darksorcerermusic]

awsome..thanks for posting it

[Mindlegion]

I remember this show, but I was always annoyed by the way the host acts

[antmichb]

I get lost into that guys fat fucking gut

[z0rgz0rg]

eat when u feel sad

[aquasloth]

I remember e-mailing the producers to try to get on the show (if you had some weird talent like breathing through your eyeballs or something you could get on the show). I wanted my band The Electric Cheese Caravan to play on the show and they wouldn't even take a demo because they only ever had "signed" acts on the show. This Ween clip was the only good part of the entire run of that show.

[Marevix]

Extras are hilarious, the dude without shirt and the one girl repeating back "The Mollusk! The Mollusk!!". The music and lyrica are interesting, to say the least.

[blackestcracker]

Wonder why this show isn't on the air anymore.

[TheJayTrain]

Because emo kids are to gay for real drugs.

[rwk1983]

Its just was to weird.....did you ever see the show it had carnival freaks galore (like people putting nails through there face, etc......). Now i like weird stuff but that show was kinda disgustin but cool and they should have had more than one season (im guessing 13 shows). 1997 a neat year and an amazing year for video games!!!!!!

[JustinSage]

This is my favorite Ween song. And it is surprisingly hard to play.

[drumalong88]

lame

[rufonzo38]

Great performance. Though I'm not sure this show was the best career move for Ween.

Ween are genius weird... not dork weird like the dweebs on that show.

[Prankxter]

Someone who enjoys ween is so stereo-typical... that's odd. They look like dweebs so they must be losers, is that your theory?

[rufonzo38]

I don't think they're "Ween fans". Most of them. They're extras on a terrible show that celebrated weirdness for weirdness sake. It was called "Oddsville".

I'm the biggest Ween fan there is. I didn't mean fans, I meant the show.

[yepmatt]

How big are you? 9"? 11"?

[rufonzo38]

I see the word police are out in full force. I call the extras on this show dweebs and the 1st guy says I'm in insulting all Ween fans.

Then to clarify, I say I'm Ween's biggest fan... and you hop on that.

The sky is blue. Something controversial about that?

[mattynono]

shit i meant to give you a thumbs up

[RuaTheRapoet]

don't worry matty, i balanced out your karma with my own thumbs up

[Askurtz]

why is ween so daamn awesome?????? im still trying to figure it out. i grew up on Ween and some of theyre albums are completely wierd but its just so damn good

[mescalitodreams]

OH mang! I remember this show, I remember there being a old man on one episode who's balls were hanging out the entire segment (no joke) must of slipped the censors eyes. So suck out loud, but ween is always amazing.

[hobbit151]

MTV hasnt been the same since the eighties and early 1990's Cable TV and regular TV has gone downhill ever since..

[DocFarnoff]

Oddville was a cool show! Ween is still awesome!

[laortia]

crab is not a mollusk

[Gleam16]

wow MTV still sucks ball nuggets

[xkrystalinax]

The host sucked but Ween rocks.

[swaimb]

Agreed! lol

[scarneck1]

I never watched this show. I don't regret that decision. Though seeing Ween on there would have been cool

[HamSandwich09]

This show tries wayy too hard to be weird. This doesn't include Ween. Ween is always awesome.

[jacob7207]

This is what the whole world should do.

[loopyprincessyo123]

why stop at the world?

[gchrist]

I remember watching this when it aired

[sightlab]

Wow....this show was mildly irritating back then. Now it looks downright stupid. WTF was up wif the host? I remember he always seemed to have Parkinson's.

[mfutts]

this show is perfect for ween to play on haha... such a weird and unique band, they are great

[fauxpasmusictube]

Take my hands, you ugly girl...Ween always has the crack up lines. Love 'em.

:-)

[pselley]

The first 2 CDs I ever bought were Chocolate and Cheese and the Mollusk.

I've done shrooms, fucked, slept and failed tests to these two CDs. My children will have Dean and Gene in their names somehow.

[fluidpockets]

This video is without question inspirational to writing material about excessive back hair and elongated blubbery

bellybuttons

[zwind999]

yeh i remember that show, they had a guy come on and eat match tips..fuckin stupid

[jonnyl9410]

that dancing monkey totally caught me off guard.

[MuToiDMaN]

Every time I drive and hear this song on my ipod I want to learn it on guitar but then I get back home and forget about it.

[spyrogal]

0:07 the mollusk like the plant? It's a plant?

[needlearmor]

i think she said "like the clam"

[sacredcow024]

I thought he said "tramp" haha

[GlueyPorch]

he said like the 'crab'

[spyrogal]

I know, but it sounds like "plant"

[vcshort1]

i'd rather watch the guitar solo than the crowd.

[briguy7878]

Does anyone know the name of the female host, the brunette with the pigtail, tank top and pj pants?

[neonchez]

man. mtv was awesome when it was a music channel.

[Gammarklar]

ive seen a lot of wrong tabs out there for this song so i figured this was a good place to put the right ones:

drop A string down to G

main licks:

099800

x00775 and then prechorus is both those same chords just in opposite order

chorus:

x00(12)(12)10

x00775

x00553

x0000x hammer on x2220x

[Ohiogrown90]

take my hand you ugly girl

[ttiinnaasstt]

LOVE the acoustic guitar solo too!

[ttiinnaasstt]

Hairy back HA HA!!

[oobadfishoo420]

tHAT FAT GUY DANCING IS FUNNY AS SHIT

[sudofan]

woo you sassy frassy lassy this song rules

[Th2EyA0rEa1MoN2gUs]

great song though

[Th2EyA0rEa1MoN2gUs]

those people that are dancing are fake they dont even know who the fuck they are listening too.

[jmbloodworth1986]

Teh dood with teh glasses looks like a REELY geeky version of Quentin Tarantino.

[Dagidugidai]

hahaha, youre right, i was wondering who he reminded me of

[Fuchi900]

Ween = Awesome.

Drugs = Not a smart thing to do.

[cedarglenmilitia]

Unless of course you are ween

[Fuchi900]

Well, you may want to ask Gene about that...

[hyliahero]

I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence, or insanity to anyone, but they've always worked for me." — Hunter S. Thompson

[swingondown]

whatchoo talkin about, without drugs we wouldnt have ween! or great fuckin times

[Fuchi900]

Without instruments we wouldn't have ween.

[oobadfishoo420]

no we would still have ween, drugs make ween not instruments haha if they werent making music they would still be doing something retardedly talented

[ironhorse730]

That's whatchoo talkin' bout Willis, swingondown ;ppp

[sheik718]

OMG, Oddsville. No one ever remembers that show. It was so utterly bizarre. MTV doesn't do anything remotely cool as that anymore or ever again.

[nigel1866]

Mtv sucks they make artists they dont sign them or promote them.
