I got a call a long time ago from a marine biologist that said he wanted to start a cartoon inspired by Ween's album "The Mollusk." His name was Steve Hillenburg and he his idea was to create a Bugs Bunny type cartoon on the bottom of the ocean floor. Ween had been on tour for a long year and we ended up recording and writing the song in one night at Greg Frey's studio. It was to teach kids how too tie their shoes and we wrote it really fast and mailed it back on X-mas eve and for once they said "don't change anything about its, it's perfect." It remains one of our proudest legacies and we went on to do a lot of work together with SpongeBob, and the show went on to be the best cartoon of 2 generations. So this is for you Steve. The show wasn't even on the air at the time mind you. - Mickey
