How Ween Cleaned Up “Push th’ Little Daisies”

MUSIC THAT MATTERS – “Lyric of the Day”

(Music Cut #1 — Ween, “Push th’ Little Daisies”)

Released on this day…

back in 1992…

Ween gave us their third album…

Pure Guava!

Featuring “Push th’ Little Daisies.”

(Music Cut #2 — “Push th’ Little Daisies”)

And when the song was released as a single…

for radio and MTV…

they needed to clean it up a little for sensitive ears.

But their solution?

They turned to someone who usually needed a little editing himself!

(Music Cut #3 — Prince, “Alphabet St.”)

They actually borrowed a sound from PRINCE!

That little opening squeal of “No” from his song “Alphabet St.”…

(Music Cut #4 – same as #3 – Prince, “Alphabet St.”)

Yup – THAT… was used to cover up a naughty word.

(Music Cut #5 — Ween, “Push th’ Little Daisies”)

LYRIC OF THE DAY:
“When you lie
Kiss your baby bye, bye, bye
And if you’re true
The whole wide world will laugh with you.” – Ween, “Push th’ Little Daisies”
