'Ocean Man' In Meme Culture

On this day in 1997, the song “Ocean Man” by Ween was released! #shorts #oceanman #knowyourmeme

It’s so much more than just a meme song though, something about it is just perfect

[GoofyGoober_YT-]

“Manager? This is the greatest day of my life!!”

[lmao]

This song unites Jojo fans, Spongebob fans and Ween fans all at once with such great power that no one spams the comments with random references or quotes from their fandoms. Yes, all 3 of them, not just jojo.

Listening to this song makes me tear up man. Brings me back to simpler times of watching the SpongeBob Movie when I was a kid.

[tone]

Bruh, ween is probably one of the most underrated bands ever

[skrimpinn]

I first listened to this outside of a meme yesterday and it's actually incredible

[nickcole]

Just hearing the name “iFunny” infuriates me on a cosmic level

[viscountrainbows]

A friend of mine who recently passed, played me a whole playlist of Ween. I think we were drankin n smokin at the time so I was a little... wavy but every few songs I kept forgetting it was Ween because legit every other song just sounded like a whole different band, whole different genre, etc. I really been sleepin on these guys; they are onto some sort of energy that I hope I could ever tap into.

From SpongeBob to Jotaro Kujo, what a long journey

[Mr.TheKrab]

the song "mutilated lips" off that album sounds very similar to coldplays "another's arms" and i think about that a lot

[joeybaseball]

Ocean man sounds like it it's much older than 1997. It sounds like it's from the 60's. It's so groovy. It just has that groove to it.

[slow_goon]

Ween is one of the best bands of all time. Hands down.

[yeastofthoughtsmind]

Ween is the greatest and I've always loved that one of their songs became so popular, even if it was as a meme song. It helped expose their music to so many young people and got them an influx of new young fans

[cablevamp]

This song was fucking beautiful the first time I heard it as the credits roled

[assass.oebeeseo]

Also their album "the mollusk" inspired SpongeBob in the first place
Listen to the first track and think about the fact that the album was released in '97 and SpongeBob was first aired in '99 lol

[sillylung]

I see Ween I click and like. No questions asked.

[johnsapp]

All that info, and yet you forgot the most important detail of the Mollusk being one of Hillenburg's inspirations for creating Spongebob Squarepants. They also created the loop de loop song from the season 2 episode Your Shoe's Untied

[Random_Guy]

Ocean man, take me by the hand and to the land, that you understand

[amino-acid]

hold on, this was a meme in 2015??? Holy shit, it honestly felt like 2017 at most

[carterjs_]

This song is a masterpiece and it’s definitely one of my favourite songs
