Ween - I'm Dancing In The Show Tonight Lyrics

This song is about trying to pass a sobriety test after being pulled over for drunk driving.

[Verse 1]
Are my ribbons tied?
Is my hair in place?
Have I got a cute expression on my face?
And my shoes all shined
I'll try to keep in line
When I'm dancing in the show tonight...

[Verse 2]
Does my shuffle step
Really look so good?
Am I doing it
The way you think I should?
Would it be amiss
If I blew a kiss
When I'm dancing in the show tonight?

[Chorus]
Showtime now is getting nearer
And I'm getting scared
Wish I could see in the mirror
If I'm all prepared

[Verse 3]
First, you take a step
Then you point your toe
Hope I know it like I did a week ago
Am I standing straight?
I can hardly wait
To be dancing in the show tonight

I’m here because of Yugo Limbo’s animation Spring Video 803 soup.

I was tripping with my friend one time, he told me to put on a good album so I put on The Mollusk. As soon as this song started playing he started laughing his ass off asking me “what the fuck is this?” Good times.

Is it me, or could this be Donald Trump's theme song before his rallys?

spring video 803.soup

Reminds me of Klaatu... are Ween also The Beatles?

Everytime I hear this track, I picture the Mollusk creature on the album cover singing all the different voices with its 3 or 4 different mouths

This song is about having to pass a sobriety test after getting pulled over for drunk driving.

Hard to believe this song is in the same album as Buckingham Green. Two polar opposite songs by the same artist in the same album

Blood, blood, gallons of that stuff

First time listening to The Mollusk: Hmm this song's weird, was expecting more stuff like Ocean Man

Tenth time listening to The Mollusk: I CAN HARDLY WAIT TO BE DANCING IN THE SHOW TONIGHT

I can hear Patrick, Spongebob and Lisa Simpson singing this

HavocPigeon is Your profile the anger penguin XD

Underated

Are my ears on straight
Is my nose in place
Have I got a cute expression on my face?

sounds like a duo both with down syndrome shitting their pants due to stage fright

This song shocked me when I started listening The Mollusk because the "cheery", "childish"... tone of it doesn't fit the monster in the album cover at all, but somehow it makes things even better and funnier!
Ween is too weird for me right now, but I can have a lot of respect for them. They seem really creative for me!

this song makes me think of butters from south park for some reason

Me: Yo pass the aux
Friend: you better not play trash
Me:

Friend: Thanks

Nah this ain't trash, this is art

The instruments are identical to the ones from ToonTown Online back in the day

Blow a kiss!

Does the uploader hate Gene Ween and Dean Ween too?

Sounds like SpongeBob at parts

other way around. The voices on this song heavily inspired Stephen Hillenburg's casting oversight for his children's cartoon that came out two years after his favorite band produced this album.

Does anyone else think this song kinda sounds like the Toontown Online theme song?

I was trying to find something that has no shape. Found it. This album cover is impossible to draw.

it's actually the shape of a pirate, i just realized

For a second, I thought Spongebob and Patrick were singing this song.

Hold up...

*_yEs_*

Spongebob, Patrick, and Lisa Simpson

Smellslikenothing ye

EXACTLY!! And also you hear a voice that sounds like Mr. Krabs In the song The Blarney Stone.

my cats love this

I added this to a list if songs I want to be played at my funeral just to throw people the fuck off

The Blarney Stone is literally the perfect funeral song for me

Just imagine at the funeral like everyone's crying and then: *GET OFF MY ASS YOU BITY FUCK*

oh by golly like I did a week agoooo

Cheery a song as it is, it's ungodly creepy after listening to this, then the bit after She Wanted to Leave... spooky :^(

lyrics?!

My 3 mo old daughter loves this song, but not as much as "Drifter in the Dark", her first favorite song!

+Rimone Media Does she listen to waving my dick in the wind?

She has heard it a few times at this point!

Ahahah, I must imagine this is a great song for the little ones... but I wouldn't recommend their other songs.

This song's not a song from one of Dean's sister's records, nor is it a cover of it. They took the song "Are My Ears on Straight", and rewrote it. And thus this was born.

Just look up the song " are my ears on straight" if you are seeking something similar or what this is based on.

What genre of music is this

Mr Eighty Traditional Jazz, more broadly Avant pop

Musical

Spongebob

Fucking LOVE Ween!! This song reminds me of my brother :) Love you Jim <3

is this song about getting a dui? lol

+Andrew Allen no the guitar player, Dean got this song off of one of his sisters records that she danced to

that could be a meaning of the song. to me it's more about stage freight.

They definitely rewrote the lyrics to Are My Ears On Straight but I really feel the DUI metaphor is apt.

It's about dancing in the fucking show.

What kinda music wold this qualify as, I have to find something related???????

Maybe uh.

I dunno, sea shanties?

thanks, it actually is cool to listen to various types of music, ween has so many different music styles, that is waht I usually try to find, a band that has alot of styles.

Music Hall / Vaudeville, I guess.

Similar stuff, just what came to my mind immediately:
Beatles - Martha My Dear, When I'm 64, Maxwell's Silver Hammer (all of which were composed by Paul McCartney)
Queen - Seaside Rendezvous, Good Company
The Doors - Alabama Song (kind of)
Harry Nilsson - lots of stuff
They Might Be Giants - Kiss Me Son of God, I'm All You Can Think About, Reprehensible (among others)
and a very special one of mad genius,
Syd Barrett - Effervescing Elephant

how do you tie lemons?

Thomas Stewart yes.

I think it's referring to her tits

demented in a good or bad way, hard to tell. love the band regardless

Sing this in front of the mirror before dates or interviews and you shall know happiness.

I always thought Ween should make an entire album of children's music. It would be a masterpiece and, it goes without saying, one of the greatest children's albums of all time.

I was gonna say something about TMBG but someone already did.

Barenaked Ladies' Snacktime! is a good one.

TRUE DAT!!

SnortOfTheSnorth Mind your fucking business, that's why.

They already made Pure Guava.

Can't stop playing this.

I love how they sound like they don't have lips.

They were mutilated.

Really? At around 0:23 I hear Spongebob and Patrick.

totally

Lol, genny directed us here

This would be one of the British libraries in threat of being shut down, would it? If so, I can smell a Ween protest ....(and its not a pretty smell let me tell you).

That THING is The Mollusk!

No, no... *THAT'S* Ocean Man.

Thank you GenyB!

Imagine me singing this!

I just turned this on in my room to cover the sound of my roommate and his lass having sex. Laughter ensued.

you should listen and beat off bruh.

@Jason Andrews cuck

holly shit, your comment have more likes than the actual video

that vagina is telling me to buy the album

Ramon Mateo what

currently 104 likes for this.apperently 104 people agreeeeeeeeeeeeee.

this makes me want to go out and actively find a show to dance in

How the shit is this comment not voted up?

the mollusk is talking to me

So few people know of Ween... such a pity. There is so much talent? and... and... creativity? How you define Ween?
Or explain to your friends that "the genius of these guys is there, I promise... just listen to another song" it is very tough trying to prepare them for the sheer difference between Mutilated Lips, Piss up a Rope and Cold Blows the Wind LOL
Maybe just "Dude.. They're Awesome."
done.

I always think of going to court when I hear this. It helps to sing this before you go, especially if your room is 8' x 9'.
Most people aren't aware of the excellent acoustics in a jail cell ;)

the boogish lives at your library!

@panzercat39 Share the Youtube page with others. Ok hahaha I dont need to prove anything to you. I know that I know them and thats all that matters. go away now

@girltant Look,I looked at your page,and you seem to have a bit of a reputation for making shit up.So for that you are always gonna be like the boy that cried wolf,no one is going to believe you.Besides you have shit on your page from those D and D boys club members and all those bullshit girl blogs,something no self respecting Ween fan would ever look at.So no I don't believe a word you type.

@panzercat39 How am I lying? Would you like me to give you there real names? street addresses? The Bars that we hang out at? They are not like fucking celebrities. I live in the same town as all of them. I don't know how else to prove it to u...

@girltant Dude,you shouldn't lie about yourself,even over the internet.Just be yourself,or you will never be the Stallion,mang.

@girltant Then why did you have to look it up not to long ago.Why ask the question over you tube at all,why not just call up yer old pal Gene,or Dean and ask them?

@panzercat39 Yea im from new hope where the guys are from. Good friends with all of the band. You should know who Glenn is though if you are so Brown!

@girltant Wow,are you questioning my brownness,surely ye jest,We both know that Gene and Dean are the core of Ween.Btw,are you from Philly as well looked at your page and making the assumption,I was born in Feltonville and grew up in Parkwood and have seen Ween at least 30 times,so yeah I know me some WEEN!

@panzercat39 no. Glenn is the keyboard player in ween. You realize there are more guys then just dean and gene

@girltant Who's Glenn? Do you mean Gene?

@panzercat39 Nah i looked it up not to long ago. Glenn's son sang it when he was 5 years old. hahaha

@girltant I think it's Deaner's kid,not sure though.

@ConnDevi88 That's a pretty kick ass way to discover Ween.

I'm really... enjoying this time, like we should....... everytime.

@JJgamer93
ahh koooool have u got a tutorial

@pianogirlie123 I know the right hand of the very first part on piano only, but that's it :P

Back in high school I was helping run some school-sponsored get-to-know-your-classmates party, and I managed to work this track in...when it was time for everyone to leave. It worked fairly well, but I was sad to prove myself right.

Remember me the songs of Frank Zappa :D

Yeah. It's like if Frank Zappa and Leon Redbone did an album together. It's a bizarre mixture of styles.

whose the cute little kids voice in the song?

Listen here you pedophile, Ween uses pitch shifting vocals, not bitch shift penis

I don't know why, but this song is awesome XD

They have so many amazing songs, that are only 2 minutes! It's over way too soon! i need the magic which is this song to last at least 4 minutes.

just on the radio :p
very nice song

I like your username...

A grate start of an album.

I LOVE IT!! YOU KNOW NOW I'M GONNA HAVE TO STEAL PLAYING THIS BEFORE A POETRY READING...LOL XXX MAGGIE UR GYPSYTWIN YOU ROCK! I'M REALLY LOOKING FORWARD , NOW MORE THAN BEFORE, TO EXPERIENCING YOU AND THAT WONDERFULLY CREATIVE MIND I'VE BEEN HEARING SO MUCH ABOUT!

erm any one know the piano notes chords and that to this reply to this if you do!!!

my daughter loves this song.. we sing it together in the car whenever it comes on. she's 5 now but i still have the video of her singing 'don't get 2 close 2 my fantasy' on here from when she was 2 1/2.. total Ween baby.

@akryllic000love
I picture it singing every song.

@thebark72 yeah, i just found out about "are my ears on straight" a few minutes ago. amazing!!

I was surprised to see this was a variation of an old Christmas Carol, Are My Ears on Straight, from 1953.

Only ween can pull this one off and make you want to hear it again

That's 2 minutes of awesome right there.

this song and she wanted to leave make for a grate end and start of an album.
