"Ocean Man"
Song
A-side"Mutilated Lips"

"Ocean Man" is a song by American experimental rock band Ween, and is the penultimate track from their sixth album The Mollusk. It was released as the B-side to the earlier single "Mutilated Lips" on June 24, 1997.

It was featured during the first set of end credits in The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie,[1] and on the film soundtrack.[2]

Background

The song was recorded during the production of Ween's album The Mollusk. Recorded and performed with filtered vocalization, the song contains a mandolin riff, a powerpop drum beat, and an electric guitar solo from Melchiondo. The song has been performed live at various occasions, most notably Live in Chicago and Live at Stubb's . It has been featured during the end credits of The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie and in a 2003 commercial for the Honda Civic.

Reception

[3] Allmusic referred to this song as an example of how Ween's "array of silly jokes and musical parody is richer and more diverse than most of its alternative rock contemporaries.[4]"
