Ween - She Wanted to Leave

I thought for a while which Ween song I would choose since they are the greatest. The music of Ween is hard to explain, they could easily be dismissed as a novelty act if the musicianship wasn't so spot on. Deaner plays some good guitar and Gener sings beautifully with or without effects. They just write good songs and although they're not for everybody, people are rarely indifferent about what they do.
She Wanted to Leave closes The Mollusk. Some fans think The Mollusk was their finest album. This track defies genre. The entire Mollusk album has a nautical theme throughout and this song best exemplifies it in a swashbuckling story of a seafaring man's tale of lost love.

I find it nearly impossible to choose a favorite Ween album, let alone song. i have spent several hourse as of late listening to bootlegs and B sides. The sound quality may blow but the power lies deep within.
If I dare put forth my candidate for best Ween song, it is "Demon Sweat" on the Pod.
