According to an interview in the Cleveland Free Times which may be, you know, a joke. If you want to hear the song they are referring to – you could do worse than to look in that music player over on the right hand side.
You’ve written some fairly serious songs, but you’ve got a reputation for being something of a wiseass. Are you holding back on the wiseass songs?
No, they’re coming. I’m like a stork, flying with all my wiseass comments. They’ll be delivered soon.
In that vein, I’d read that you wanted to bring your labelmate Hilary Duff into a session to record a song called “Piss on Your Hand.” When the hell is that song coming out?
We recorded it for the record; it is on some weird B-side in Japan. It’s a great song, but I realized that Ween had a song called “Piss Up a Rope,” and I didn’t know that when I wrote the song. I can’t release it because it appears to be derivative although it isn’t at all. I wrote the song because we were all peeing in cups in a van. It’s a foul story, but I’m going to tell you anyway. Sometimes when you’re late for a show, there’s no time to pull over and everybody’s on a different pee clock so there’s nothing to be done but pee in a cup. The punch line of the song is “a little piss on your hand is a small price to pay for relief.” We still play it live once in awhile.
I think you still have a shot with this song.
Yeah, it’s gonna be a hit. Me and Rihanna are gonna do it at the Grammys next year. Timbaland will produce it. It’ll be great.
Nice quote to open the article as well . . .
There’s no way Potter should have evolved this far as a singer-songwriter and performer in a mere 26 years, and it’s equally unlikely that any artist could produce an album as timeless and exquisitely powerful as 2007’s This Is Somewhere. Her band, the Nocturnals, exhibit a dynamic range and emotional depth made even more impressive by their ability to sustain it over an entire album.

Nice article
Wise ass? Grace? No!
I saw the same quotes in Cin Weekly yesterday while at lunch. Can’t wait to see them Sunday.
Cool Bill. It’s finally your turn. Enjoy!
The venue they’re playing in (20th century theater) is within stumbling distance of my pad which really makes me happy. The only thing that would truly make this event that much better is if I didn’t have to work Monday morning. This is the fist concert I will have ever attended on a Sunday evening.
I wondered about how that song got it’s start – Piss on Your Hand.
and now I know the rest of the story.
life on the road.
The year Piss Up A Rope came out the Ween boys had hidden from their promoter for 3 days in The Hideout in New Orleans. I stayed upstairs (directly over the juke box) … As funny as the song is I could probably be content Never hearing it again! Don’t get the derivative thing at all.
Glad your time has come Bill & Bob!
