One of my first restaurant jobs was as a dishwasher in Missoula MT.. On fridays and saturdays there were 2 of us washing dishes and the one guy that washed with me was a huge ween fan. There was a cd player by the dishwasher and we'd take turns playing CD's. His were always ween and I really liked it. I haven't actively listened to them since. I really should. btw Japanese Cowboy definitely resembles a twangy, sped-up version of Chariots. -Cool song.

I've always loved "Ween". Their music is always versatile, and most importantly, they never take themselves too seriously. If they accidentally copied other people's songs, I don't think they would have a problem of admitting it

I don't think most artists would. It happens all the time. I have a song called "new kind of me" that sounds a whole lot like "Wild Night". I admit it, but I didn't realize it till our trumpet player started playing the vocal melody on his horn over the song and it fit... perfectly. My initial reaction, laughter then, "shit"!
