Ween - What Deaner Was Talkin' About (Peel Session 1993)

[@TheLarryburns84]

This is the most cheerful song about anxiety ever.

gotta hear their AIDS song

it's a classic. choc/cheese was the first Ween album I got

[@operationappleseed4039]

perfect after a panic attack

[@GarbagePolice]

I can't stop re-listening to the beginning to figure it out, and then when I do I just listen to the whole song again

[@galleryofrogues]

Sounds like they went back in time to the 80’s to record this with that gated-reverb snare!

[@lukejohns5900]

This version sounds a lot more anxious than the album version, which makes it fitting imo

[@philsolesky5888]

The Chocolate & Cheese version says "if I was king" and this one says "if I were king".... glad to hear it grammatically correct! I didn't know this song was about anxiety. It's a wonderful song and makes me feel peaceful, whatever the context or grammar. BOOGNISH FOREVER!

[@delilh325]

It is commonly said, tho, "if I were you", so I don't think it is THAT wrong. I'm not a native speaker tho

Is legitimately a masterpeice

[@ramunayy]

I prefer this version and I have no idea why. The start sounds weird but when it's normal it's a really good version.

[@JillKnapp]

Back in the early 90s there was a commercial on the radio (I can't remember what the commercial was advertising), but the gist was "sometimes when things are even just a little bit off, it can ruin everything." The commercial featured a guy singing "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" but the lyrics and the words were purposely aligned wrong for the commercial. He was singing the right notes, but he shifted the lyrics by one beat... so instead of the song going "TAKE me out to the BALL GAME," it went "take ME out to the ball GAME TAKE." It was really fun. Annnnnyyyywaaaaay, as soon as I heard this version of What Deaner Was Talking About, it sounded like an homage to that commercial. It's from the same time period, so it wouldn't surprise me, but I'm also totally speculating.

[@PKSkyler]

Ok the start is from how the song was originally written. Look up Ween in 3 10 93 and that show is the first time I heard them play this song and it sounds even more different than this one and the final.

[@JustCyanaid]

Honestly, besides the beginning bit, I think I like this more than the album version. There’s no big difference between the two, I just think this one sounds a little bit nicer to listen to, and I do like the different sounding solo.

[@dmahoney661]

I agree

[@mikemathlete]

I agree with you. Many bands seemed to be brought to their best in Peel sessions.

[@moongloomable]

This version is too happy.

[@RedPilledAsFuck]

i think the beginning sounds good idunno what people are talking about

[@buddyhooch8860]

[@austinbarker7179]

when I get my raido talk show, this will be its theme song

[@nkita7363]

Did you ever get it?

[@WappleFan]

you get it yet?

[@TheLarryburns84]

Like the solo in this one better. This song has always reminded me of some British Invasion-esque shit. Anyone else?

[@tuanjim799]

+John Burns Yeah, it's like poppy British Invasion sound, but right on that cusp of the mid-'60s when the bands started getting into weed and acid for the first time. Like Rubber Soul-era Beatles. I love Ween so much.

[@beegee2008]

It sounds like Wilco

[@Guercinator]

better than the album version. I like how there's a better focus on drums

[@delnegros13]

Starts off a little..off.

[@IAmTheBestMang]

This is the way the song was originally performed. The first ever performance is exactly the same.

[@withnail-and-i]

The beginning feels like an alternate universe
