I’m still not sure that I “get” this video. However, Jeremy Enigk is one of my favorite artists and this song is great. It’s a great video to watch even if you’re like me and can’t grasp the real meaning of it all!

Great animated video for one of the more serious Ween songs. It’s a good video to just zone out and think about.

Great concept for a music video; It portrays the song perfectly. It’s fun, it’s entertaining, it’s not too heavy. What’s your bad habit?

“Only seven animals suffered injury during the making of this video. Only two animals were killed.”
The animation is very simplistic. The story is not. This video always makes people feel something.

Oblong Pictures is an imaginary film company which specialises in making short stop-motion films using the popular children’s toy, LEGO.

This is a music video, after a fashion, for a very short song by Ween. It features LEGO’s Orient Adventure characters in a helter skelter race against time to locate their missing dairy produce. Kind of.

The song and its history can be found on the Ween website – long story short, it started out as an advertising jingle for Pizza-Hut but they (or their ad agency) passed on it, so the band posted it online.

As if the song wasn’t catchy enough, this video turns it into something infectious. Be careful, this will creep into your brain and never come out. What was Pizza-Hut thinking, passing this one up?
