Your Party Lyrics
There were candy and spices and tri-colored pastas.
The meat carved was drawn from succulent juices
served on platters of the purest gold
I spoke with fervor, embracing the evening.
My wife leaned over and she whispered 'I love you'.
I held her close and we danced.
The wife and I thank you very much (x2)
My wife was competing in a game of chance
The party raged and the guests were screaming
I could have danced all night
The wife and I thank you very much (x2)
I closed my eyes, then I drifted to sleep.
I dreamt about me, maybe throwing a party,
and just how great that would be.
We had the best time at your party.
The wife and I thank you very much (x2)
maybe this song is just a thank you, dummies.
I think everyone is overlooking it...its simply trying to put a situation or image lyrically with an appropriate song style...they are obviously doing a parody of adult contemporary music but now they are the adults going to what seemed to me like 'wine and cheese' type of partys...if they had to write an adult contemporary song what would it be about to fit the mood....a classy adult party with 'tri colored pastas...served on platters of the purest gold'....not sure where swingers tie in you dirty people
I think Stallion pretty well nailed it. This song is funny as hell with the smooth saxaphone going on like terrible background music. "I spoke with fervor, embracing the evening." "The wife." F-ing brilliant. Well done, Ween.
This song is absolutely hilarious. Basically, this is poking fun at a normal boring marriage where the party described is the most exciting thing in these people's lives.
Later on when we were under the covers, I closed my eyes, then I drifted to sleep. I dreamt about me, maybe throwing a party, and just how great that would be.
lol i love that verse
Guys, this song is obviously about tricolored pastas.
Agree with Stallion ... but could it be a sarcastic comment on Gene and Dean's own lives? After all, they have stopped partying (I think) and are like these domesticated guys when they are not on tour. Maybe. Maybe not.
i got a swinger vibe...
good lord, why project cynicism into the song? I read a guy's thoughts about attending a party, which he specifically enjoyed a number of aspects of, and he loves his wife. Oh, an he also wanted to tell the host appreciated it and might like to have one himself.
This song wasn't written specifically written about something, it's just kind of an homage to really cheezy 80's stuff that's all suave and stuff
