Let's make this birthday one to remember.

55 years old (Born on March 17, 1970)

Happy Birthday, Gene Ween! From the twisted genius behind "Push th' Little Daisies" to the visionary who introduced us to the chocolate and cheese-infused realm of eternal weirdness, your music continues to captivate and amuse. Decades have passed since those early basement recordings in New Hope, yet your melodies remain as delightfully unpredictable—and uniquely infectious—as ever.

Here's hoping this birthday is filled with sunshine brighter than "Ocean Man," more surprises than a performance of "Poopship Destroyer," and enough celebration to rival the screaming fans at your epic reunion shows. Keep bending genres, confounding expectations, and above all—stay wonderfully brown!
