"Push th' Little Daisies" came off Pure Guava, Ween's third album, in late 1992, and it's about as close as Gene and Dean Ween got to a pop single, which is to say not very. Gene sings lead in a gleeful yelp over a woozy, cheap-sounding psychedelic-pop bounce, and the whole thing plays like a prank that refuses to leave your head.
The video had the duo stuffing their faces and clowning around, with a squeal lifted from Prince's "Alphabet St." dropped over a swear word, and when Beavis and Butt-head picked it apart on MTV, the exposure did the rest. Released as a single on Elektra in 1993, it reached 21 on Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks, spent 13 weeks on the Australian singles chart with a peak of 18 that August, and finished 40th in Triple J's Hottest 100 for the year.
