About this song
- Buckingham Green is a strip mall 15 minutes outside of New Hope, PA the city where Ween is from and was a popular hangout spot for teens. The song went through numerous changes throughout recording – the earliest demo dates back to around Chocolate and Cheese – and most of the song was eventually cut to make away for a middle solo section. It has been described by the band as “the song which tied the record together”. It is inspired by early 70s British prog-rock acts such as Genesis and King Crimson. The original six-minute demo goes into much more detail with its descriptive imagery in an interlude narrative about a dwarf bringing gifts to the child of eye. .
