** "Cold Blows The Wind" is about wanting to be TogetherInDeath and is played straight enough to be listed under "TearJerker" below - but on ''All Request Live'', Dean adds a bit of BlackComedy by introducing it as "a song about a dead bitch".

** "Ocean Man" became this to many after the death of WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants creator Stephen Hillenburg.

Trope cut per TRS.


* FaceOfTheBand: While they've had a fairly consistent backing band since adding one to their sound, Dean and Gene tend to be more widely known. Among non-fans, Dean is probably slightly more well-known for his occasional session work, such as playing on ''Music/SongsForTheDeaf'' by Music/QueensOfTheStoneAge. (A band that drummer Cole Coleman Jr has also contributed to!)

I've said "sincere" way too much


** "Stay Forever" and "She's Your Baby" from the end of ''White Pepper'' are a pair of very sincere love songs. "Stay Forever" in particular is a popular pick at Ween fans' weddings. "Sweetheart in the Summer" from ''La Cucaracha'' is similar, with the added bonus of [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness Dean on vocals]]. The rather wistful tone of all three could also make them double as [[TearJerker tear-jerkers]].

** ''The Mollusk'''s third tear-jerker, possibly the bleakest of them all, is the closer, "She Wanted to Leave." While the identity of "she" is debatable (is it the narrator's lover? His daughter? His ship?), and while it's delivered in a silly Irish-pirate accent, at its core it's a sincere and poignant story of loss and regret.

* AcceptableTargets: [[NewAgeRetroHippie Hippies]] in the early song "Hippie Smell". Interesting in retrospect because 1) their improv-heavy live performances, along with {{Music/Phish}} covering "Roses Are Free", eventually started to make them somewhat popular with fans of jam bands [[note]] which eventually annoyed them to the point that they disowned the jam band scene [[/note]], and 2) they also have "So Long Jerry", a completely sincere tribute to [[Music/TheGratefulDead Jerry Garcia]].

** Can't forget "Buckingham Green", "What Deaner was talking about" and "Demom Sweat".
** "That Man (from the flatland) from the Ceaser demos certainly counts as one.
