That's my absolute fovorite Christmas song. Smile
I do have a copy of Ween's "12 Golden Country Greats" that I listen to and enjoy every now and then.

They're an interesting band, no question.  I have two of their albums, The Pod and The Mollusk, and it's amazing how far ahead they progressed in just a few short years.  The Mollusk covers so many musical styles - it impressed the heck out of me.  "Ocean Man" is probably my favorite track on there.

I have heard the Mollusk, and there's no denying that they have talent, but they are a little juvenile and too focused on humor for my tastes.

I think Ween are an absolutely amazing band.

Have you heard The Mollusk?

My favourite album of theirs is actually White Pepper, but The Mollusk contains most of their stuff which resembles prog.
