Squelch The Weasel

Ween · God Ween Satan [1991]

Squelch the little weasel

Crush him before he spawns

Break it to me gently

But with merriment and song



Squelch the little weasel

Juice him as he bleeds

Feed him to the many

For thoust their souls shall weep



Sipping of the sunray

Blading in the earth

Evolving was the nectar

Given to the weasel birth



I was just a puppet

Until the clouds caved in

Bless me now you are sacred

My flesh betwixt my skin

Squelch The Weasel

Squelch The Weasel stands as a quintessential example of Ween's early experimentalism, appearing on their 1991 debut album, God Ween Satan. During this formative period, the duo of Aaron Freeman and Mickey Melchiondo began establishing the eclectic sonic palette that would define their extensive discography. The track showcases the band's willingness to embrace absurdity and unconventional song structures, hallmarks of their unique approach to rock music. Recorded during a time when the group was still refining their identity, the song reflects the raw energy and genre-bending tendencies that would later characterize their more celebrated works. It remains a significant song in their catalogue, illustrating the creative risks taken during their initial recording sessions and contributing to the diverse musical narrative that has sustained their career for decades.
