Deerhoof - Offend Maggie

I think I got turned on to Ween through trying to impress a hip guy I was interested in. As it turns out, I really like them. I have the album this comes from on 180 gram vinyl (sexy) and I haven't put it on in a while, but maybe I'll hit it up this weekend... In the meantime, enjoy this compilation of a great Ween track and some stock footage found online. Bugs and bombs and whatnot.
