Squelch The Weasel
Ween · God Ween Satan [1991]
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.
