"I'm Fat" is a non-album song by Ween, released as a single in 1994.
Song Details[edit | edit source]
Recording and Composition[edit | edit source]
"I'm Fat" is a country rock song in a somewhat bluesy variation of D minor.
The lead vocals are sung by Guy Heller (credited as "Calvin Celsius" in the liner notes), who also co-wrote the song with Ween.[1] The pitch-shifted "fat vocals" are performed by Gene Ween. Dean Ween is credited with "musics", presumably meaning he performed the guitar, bass, and drum machine on the track. Andrew Weiss is credited with mixing both versions of "I'm Fat".[2]
Alternate versions[edit | edit source]
The B-side on the single, which is not titled, is a remixed version of "I'm Fat" with Heller's vocals removed, some of Gener's vocals played backwards, chip-eating sounds and a slowed backing track. Although it often circulates under the informal title "I'm Fat Pt. 2", it is a remix, not a different song.
Live Performances[edit | edit source]
Ween played "I'm Fat" live three times in the fall of 1993, and have not played it live since then.[3]
Lyrics[edit | edit source]
Well, I got big tits and I can't reach my dick when I wanna take a piss, I'm fat
Come on Calvin don't you do me like that
C'mon, it's not fun being fat
I eat a big bag of chips and take smelly shits, I never take a bath, I'm fat
Oh come on Calvin!
It's not so bad!
Well, I got big tits and I can't reach my dick when I wanna take a piss, I'm fat
Oh come on Calvin, don't you do me like that
C'mon it's not fun being fat
Eat a big bag of chips and take smelly shits, I never take a bath, I'm fat
Please Calvin!
It's not so bad!
Well, I got big tits and I can't reach my dick when I wanna take a piss, I'm fat
C'mon Calvin, don't you treat me like that
I can't stand being fat
Eat a big bag of chips and take smelly shits, I never take a bath, I'm fat
I can't help it Calvin!
You know I'm fat!
Well, I got big tits and I can't reach my dick when I wanna take a piss, I'm fat
C'mon Calvin don't you do me like that
C'mon it's not fun being fat
I eat a big bag of chips and take smelly shits and I never take a bath, I'm fat
Oh come on!
It's not so bad!
C'mon Calvin!
It's... ahhh... I'm just fat man!
Got big tits and I can't reach my dick when I wanna take a piss, I'm fat
C'mon Calvin, don't treat me like that!
I can't stand it!
Eat a big bag of chips and take smelly shits, I never take a bath, I'm fat
Oh come on!
It's not so bad!
