Song Details[edit | edit source]
Recording and Composition[edit | edit source]
"Molly" is a heavily experimental psychedelic industrial song with some notable no wave elements. The instrumentation consists entirely of a distorted and pitch-shifted drum machine beat.
"Molly" appears on the Big Timmy Wasserman demo tape.
Live Performances[edit | edit source]
"Molly" has been played live once in 1998, and had been teased in 1993 with a short and impromptu rendition.[1][2] However, Gene Ween played the song several times during the Ween hiatus in 2014 with his band Freeman.[3]
Lyrics[edit | edit source]
Tell me what you want and I'll give it to you
You name the "Esu" baby and I'll name the glue[?]
You name the spongy funky I'll go on and name it too
Molly molly molly...
Cut off me a glob of hardened moosey in the zoo
You fetch that moosey and you know I'm gonna fetch it to you
You fetch that moosey and you know he's gonna dig it to you
Molly molly molly...
Serve it to me baby and tell me ????
Morning is approaching and it's time to start anew
Eddie Dingle's coming over and he brought his Uncle Lou
Molly molly molly...
Fetch me a Van Winkle and a tinkle dinkle doo
?????? Van Winkle say fuck you
?????? Oh Van Winkle winkle say fuck you
Tell me what you want and I'll give it to you
You name the "Esu" baby and I'll name the glue[?]
You name the spongy funky I'll go on and name it too
Molly molly molly...
Cut off me a glob of hardened moosey in the zoo
You fetch that moosey and you know I'm gonna fetch it to you
You fetch that moosey and you know he's gonna dig it to you
Molly molly molly...[4]
