Ween is an American alternative rock band formed in New Hope, Pennsylvania in 1984 by childhood friends Aaron Freeman and Mickey Melchiondo Jr.. After meeting in a middle school typing class, the two began playing music and immediately chose the name Ween as well as pseudonyms Gene Ween (Freeman) and Dean Ween (Melchiondo), a choice inspired by The Ramones. Ween performed as a duo backed by a Digital Audio Tape for the band's first ten years of existence before expanding to a four (and later five) piece act.
The band's style is eclectic, and while they can generally be referred to as rock music, experimentation with various styles incorporating a strong element of humor and absurdity has been one of their defining tendencies. Ween developed a large, devoted cult following. After a 28-year run, Freeman quit the band in 2012, effectively ending the project.
In November 2015, Ween announced that they would reunite in February 2016 for three shows in Colorado, with later dates subsequently announced.

Emily, also known as The Awakening of Emily, is a 1976 British-made soft-core erotic film made by Henry Herbert, starring Koo Stark as a young woman discovering her sensual side.
The film was frequently shown on HBO and other cable TV pay channels during the early 1980s, when such channels sought R-rated programming not available on regular TV. It also gained some attention due to a romantic fling between Stark and Prince Andrew, cementing his tabloid nickname of "Randy Andy".
The film was lent a degree of legitimacy by its soundtrack having been composed and sung by the famous singer/poet Rod McKuen.

When nothing matters now and you're not sure if it ever did
When life is grey or black or whatever color it is
When the sound of his voice screaming in your ear
Melts with the tender vision the noise disappears
You're letting him back in
To break you once again
You're crawling in your skin
You're forgiving him
You hold it in
Her mascara draws his picture on her face
And all these pictures that he's framed take up his space
These awkward elevator moments of happiness
Just keep her open to the cycles of viciousness
Letting him back in
To break you once again
You're crawling in your skin
You're forgiving him
You hold it in
Letting him back in
To break you once again
You're crawling in your skin
You're forgiving him
You hold it in
Holding on
For a little happiness
Holding on
