[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]

Played 37 time(s).

In its original incarnation, Friends by Ween was a huge shock to most Ween fans — a giant, gay techno anthem.

It was reworked for the La Cucaracha LP as a strange little electro-mariachi number which, it must be said, fell a little flat.

In this bootleg version (recorded September ‘09 in Denver), Gene Ween gives a solo rendition which sits somewhere between sweetness and melancholy, giving the song a whole new identity.

It’s shit like this makes me really, really love Ween to pieces.
