Song Details
Recording and Composition
"Hippy Smell" is a rare example of Ween shifting genres mid-song, with the song as a whole being a psychedelic folk rock song and the bridge bearing a jazz-rock influence with a spoken word vocal. The outtake version of the song is in F# major, while the Wad Excerpts version is in G# major.
The lead vocals are sung by Gene Ween.
Alternate versions
An earlier version of "Hippy Smell" was released on the Wad Excerpts side of the 1988 LP The Live Brain Wedgie!/Wad Excerpts.
Live performances
While the song isn't known to have been played at a show proper[1], Ween performed the song privately at a house party in 1989 with Andrew Weiss on bass and Sim Cain on drums. A recording of this show isn't known to exist.
