Ween - Freedom of '76 (Official Music Video)

[@OhanaFilms]

The fact that a band like Ween could shoot a big budget video proves the 90s was the most interesting decade for music.

[@cactaceous]

Directed by Spike Jonze.

[@amandaandrews38]

By interesting you mean Ween right? Ween is my youthful soul. My expression and freakishness. Sleeping in strange beds drunk on white rum. When Ween was on my self was intact.

[@seanbrennan5192]

60s and 70s was the most interesting time for music imo.

[@OhanaFilms]

@@seanbrennan5192 The 60s-80s were AMAZING times for music and I feel like the artists in the 90s took all those decades and mashed them up in a way that we will never see again. So I guess for me the 90s represented the best from the years prior PLUS massive innovation and creativity.

[@seanbrennan5192]

@@OhanaFilms Ween for sure was influenced by those times. Weens diversity never ceases to amaze me. They have such a wide variety of styles

[@yungflipflop]

genuinely probably the greatest most heartfelt song about Philly

[@RataStuey]

they need to cameo on It's always Sunny

[@joshb8976]

This is my favorite song of theirs. Gene is so good at singing. I would get drunk with one of my friends and he would play the guitar and I would try to hit those highs.

[@danielstoddart]

Gene is underrated as a singer. Dean is underrated as a guitarist. In fact, everyone in Ween is underrated; they can play any style or genre of music: pop, rock, blues, jazz, tejano, psychedelica, soul, funk, disco, electronica...anything. It upsets me that Ween gets no respect. And sadly, this song is not on Spotify for some weird reason.

[@arareanddifferenttune3130]

I love this 😂

[@KingBoner]

@@danielstoddart they do have freedom of 76 on spotify

[@danielstoddart]

@@KingBoner But only the live version, not the studio version which is the one with this video.

[@johnholmeswebb8162]

I heard this song before I saw what they looked like, way, way back in the day. I thought this was some old Al Green, soul song, I thought this was something from the 70’s Motown era that I never heard before. I was flabbergasted to find out it was ween. When I learned how to play this song, it show me how fucking brilliant this is.

[@RataStuey]

[@ARareAndDifferentTune_13]

@@hippiecheezburger5457 it is so funny you say that bc I was just going to mention that I heard The Dead before knowing what the rest of the band other than Jerry looked like, and then saw the album Go To Heaven at a record store in all its corny cheesy windswept glory and though to myself “THAT is what they look like?!!?”

[@Kendro311]

A band of truly talented artists/musicians. Can do any genre or vibe they're feeling. Definition of eclectic. And instead of making songs for the radio, they made songs for fun. Ween heads not only are fans of the band, but are people who just love music in general. No other band really comes to mind that I can say that about. Long live the Ween!

[@EX7RUD1CON]

Ween keeps popping up in my recommended a lot lately and I have to say I’m not mad about it

Best Song Prince Never Wrote !! Shout outs Hyphen !!!

[@fearlessjoebanzai]

I only ever heard this song because Daft Punk played it on their Essential Mix in '97 and always just figured it was from the 70's! Shoulda probably realised it was newer because of the Boyz II Men line, however the tune was playing right as side 1 on my C-90 finished, so maybe it was missing from my copy? AND they turned off the deck and let it slow down to a stop right as the "mannequin was..." verse was repeating so I didn't catch it then either!!! I'm super surprised to find out it's from the 90's!

@Dyslexic Batnam The desire of those who voted to repeal Roe versus Wade to save many lives of unborn babies does not reflect their lack of desire to save a lot of people from becoming homeless. I don't see the SCOTUS making rulings anytime soon to help save a lot of people from becoming homeless. Homelessness can lead to premature death. It can also lead to drug use, mental problems, legal problems, etc. If one is going to look to save lives, why not try to save everyone then? Do you think that when you were a kid, your parents were okay with you only cleaning half of your bedroom, only finishing half of your homework, only cutting half of the lawn, only doing half of your chores, etc.? How are those apples?
