Song Details[edit | edit source]
Recording and Composition[edit | edit source]
"Strap On That Jammy Pac" is an experimental psychedelic blues rock song. The studio version is in the key of A major, but for live performances, it is transposed down to E major.
The lead vocals are sung by Dean Ween. It is the only song on The Pod to feature real drums instead of a drum machine.
"Strap On That Jammy Pac" appears on the Big Timmy Wasserman demo tape.[more needed here]
Live Performances[edit | edit source]
Ween did not debut this song live until late 1994 during the Chocolate and Cheese tour. At that time of its debut they played it very frequently for a span of about 4 months into early 1995. Since then it has been somewhat more rare to hear live.[2] In addition, the Dean Ween Group played it a single time in 2015.[3]
Lyrics[edit | edit source]
Strap on that there jammy pac
Get a grip on your soul
Sip on that there pamminy flask,
And I'll guide you towards the door
She don't need me in the mornin'
And I cant take no more
So strap on that there jammy pac,
And get up off my floor
Strap on that there jammy pac
And slide a double dime my way
Dry off your distributor cap,
And hip me to the game you play
She's jonesin' for a shammy
Little girl that I call Tammy,
So strap on that there jammy pac,
It's time for you to pay
Strap on that there jammy pac
Get into taekwondo
Stings you like a heart attack
Van Winkle says fuck you.
Never made me no supper
A boy like me needs it, too
So strap on that there jammy pac,
It's time to pay your due
