I know a lot of people hate this song, but I love it. Then again, I’m sometimes fond of funny little songs like this that are a little atonal and annoying (perhaps some Contortions in the future–we’ll see).
I’m pretty sure this song has no meaning, other than the daisies referring to nipples. Then again, every song does not need a meaning to just be cool.
And of course, the lyrics:
When you lie, kiss your baby bye bye bye
And if you’re true, the whole wide world will laugh with you
When we see nothing’s wrong with you and me
Time will tell, it might even bring a wedding bell
If you think that I’m a loser
Well you suck, ’cause you know I ain’t nothin’ but a user
Of your love I can’t get enough
Girl it’s true, the whole wide world is smiling with you
Push th’ little daisies and make ‘em come up [4x]
Sometimes I know, and sometimes I’m on the go
But I’m comin’ back, so don’t give me no flack, yeah
It’s all you, and it’s me too
And it’s your world, you’s the girl, you’s the girl
Happier than shit, things that might go click with me
Click with you, is that love? Is that love, ohhh…
Push th’ little daisies and make ‘em come up [8x]
Watch the little daisies grow, little daisies grow
Now just push th’ little daisies and make ‘em come up
Watch them grow, watch them grow
As I push the little daisies and make ‘em come up
Make ‘em come up, make ‘em come up,
Make ‘em come up, say
Push th’ little daisies and make ‘em come up [7x]

I like Ween a lot, but “Pure Guava” is one of the 2 or so CDs of theirs I don’t have, so I’m not familiar with this song. I never think about it when I could get it. Or when I do think about it when I am at a used CD store they never have. Plenty of other Weens CDs, but not Pure Guava

Actually, Pure Guava is the only recording of theirs that I own. I think it’s pretty good, but not fabulous. Still, it’s got a lot of fun tracks.

I have enjoyed all of the CDs I have bought with the major exception of Pod, to me it is largely unlistenable. I am glad I got that at a used CD store. I know some people love it, but I am not one of those people. But even it isn’t ALL bad.
