Ween dedicated their 1994 album, "Chocolate and Cheese" to the late
John Candy.
Asked to provide a song for Muppets From Space. It was to be for the
scene in which Gonzo was sitting on the roof dreaming of where he might
have come from. After the song was recorded, it was decided that all of
the music in the movie should be funk/soul and they asked Ween to
record a remake of "Brick House". They declined.
Honda optioned Ween's "Ocean Man" for a new ad campaign, unbeknownst to
the band.
Although the show was conceived and pitched prior to the song (convinced in 1996-1997), _'Stephen Hillenburg'_ credited the 1998 Ween song "Ocean Man" as an influence on the show _SpongeBob SquarePants (TV Series 1999-)_. The song would later play over the closing credits of _'The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water (2015)'_.
Announced in 2012, while promoting his first solo album that Ween was broken up. This came as a surprise to his sole bandmate, Dean Ween, who was never contact directly on this.
Has had several problems with drug and alcohol use. Aaron/Gene has said that he has been clean and sober for over a year since an intensive treatment in Arizona.
