La Cucaracha was the ninth studio album from Ween, the New Hope, Pennsylvania, oddballs built since 1984 around Gene Ween and Dean Ween, and it turned out to be their last. It came out on Rounder in October 2007, after the band let fans stream the whole thing on Myspace for four days. By now the duo had a real band behind them, with Claude Coleman, Jr. on drums, Dave Dreiwitz on bass and Glenn McClelland on keyboards, and the record plays like a crack bar band handed a stack of genre flash cards and told to get through all of them by closing time, smirk intact.
Magnet magazine named it its Album of the Year for 2007, and iTunes buyers of the full album got a bonus track, "Bag of Fat". Aaron Freeman, who performed as Gene Ween, left in 2012 to get treatment for alcohol and drug abuse, and when the band regrouped in late 2015 it was to tour, not to make another record.
