"Skycruiser" is a non-album song by Ween, released as a single in 1993.
Song Details[edit | edit source]
Recording and Composition[edit | edit source]
"Skycruiser" is in the key of D minor.
The song was probably recorded in 1992 during sessions for Chocolate and Cheese. According to Guy Heller, it was recorded at Brookridge Farms, and what sounds like a keyboard in the song is actually guitar.[1]
Alternate versions[edit | edit source]
The original 7" vinyl single from 1993 also contained a remixed version of the song titled "Cruise Control", which is almost twice as long as "Skycruiser" and features heavy reverb effects.
Live Performances[edit | edit source]
"Skycruiser" has never fully been played live, but Ween teased the song twice during the Chocolate and Cheese tour.[2]
