Title: The reigning kings of intelligent song parody
Product review: Tim Buckley and Richard Thompson knew how to drag a barge of emotional force inside their finely crafted tunes, and Ween know it's not easy to deliver a effective parody of folk-prog. But inside their silly lyrics is a situational humor that builds in appreciation listen after listen. Who else could deliver the line "Go fetch me ... white milk from the maiden's breast that babe ere never known" and make it seem important? Who else can make you both sympathize and snicker when the bewildered captain loses his love in "She Wanted to Leave?" When it's all said and done, this is about as creative as the genre has sounded in over 25 years.
