What do you think this song is about?
I think it's about eating chocolate mushrooms.
A new breath I feel the grip releasin'
Scraping my guts off of the ceiling
I've got that sunny bunny feeling

Re: Chocolate Town
Fri, September 8, 2006 - 3:02 PMA friend posed the theory once that it's about sodomy. But then, my friend is kind of fucked up. But I mean...
Couldn't taste the taste that I was tastin'
Couldn't hear the waste that I was makin'
Tired of the life I was facin'
Couldn't tell one from another
Couldn't hide a secret from my mother
Any other mother wouldn't bother
Makin' time breakin' ground
Sail brown bay to chocolate town
Got me on the porch I'm in the front row
Says "shit's for real man" like I don't know
Get your punk ass back to the dog show...
Makin' time breakin' ground
Sail brown bay to chocolate town
A new breath I feel the grip releasin'
Scraping my guts off of the ceiling
I've got that sunny bunny feeling
Makin' time breakin' ground
Sail brown bay to chocolate town
Makin' time breakin' ground
Greyhound bus to chocolate town...
I dunno... -

Re: Chocolate Town
Mon, October 23, 2006 - 3:52 PMgentlemen, i beg to differ:
couldn't taste the taste, couldn't waste the waste --- clearly a reference to "can u taste the waste" off the pod; the line basically means, "i wasn't with it"
as for the more central question, does "chocolate town" refer to anal sex? while I wouldn't put it past ween to discuss anything at all, certainly George Clinton would take umbrage at the thought that this was the meaning of the reference (he was singing about Chocolate City a long, long, long time ago.... )
i admit i am speculating, but i think 'chocolate town' in this context has more to do with the live album 'painting the town brown' and the line from 'mutilated lips' that says, 'everything is turning brown' -- namely, the reference is not so much to the act of anal penetration specifically so much as to fecal matter in general; in this case, probably the act of spreading the feces around; flinging it at the world, as it may be.
but who knows.... maybe it's about the edible chocolates after all. -

Sat, November 18, 2006 - 9:45 AMi was just thinking about this earlier while listening to it in the shower, and i came to the conclusion that they're just talking about their brownness. -

No correlation there.
I did find this...

I still think we're just supposed to assume it's a dirty song.
Is it really, though? It could just be about Baltimore, couldn't it?

Re: Chocolate Town
Sun, June 22, 2008 - 3:35 AMFollowing along the lines of what's been said regarding the reference to feces in the album 'paint the town brown', i was under the impression that the song was about crapping yourself!
think about it:
'couldn't feel the waste that i was wasting'
(a more projectile image:) 'scrape my guts off of the ceiling'
if you listen to the song again with that in mind it all falls into place!
