Crank Yankers is a United States TV show produced by Adam Carolla, Jimmy Kimmel and Daniel Kellison that features actual prank calls made by show regulars and celebrity guests which are re-enacted onscreen by puppets. Show regulars include Wanda Sykes, Jim Florentine, Susie Essman, Super Dave Osborne, Sarah Silverman, and Tracy Morgan. The puppets are designed by Funny Garbage, and the title music is by Fountains of Wayne. Ween is an alternative rock group formed in 1984 in New Hope, Pennsylvania when Aaron Freeman and Mickey Melchiondo met in a junior high school typing class. The pair became known as Gene and Dean Ween. Thousands of home recordings later, Ween collected a large underground fanbase despite being generally unknown in pop music. On television they have contributed to SpongeBob SquarePants (with a song about tying shoelaces) and Grounded for Life (the theme song). The band has also made several on-screen appearances, including performing on Letterman, in puppet form on Crank Yankers, as part of Chef Aid in South Park, and on film as themselves in It's Pat.Author: DarKwonTags: Ween - Hey There Fancy Pants music video crank yankers country:CA user-category:family user-category:music Posted: 17 December 2006
