GodWeenSatan: The Oneness was the first official Ween album, released on Twin/Tone Records in 1990. Their first album introduces several key themes for the group, including their eclecticism, gonzo sense of humor, and their demon god/mascot The Boognish.
This album would later be reissued in 2001 by Restless Records in a special "25th Anniversary Edition" (the album had been only 11 years old), featuring digitally remastered sound, new packaging, and the inclusion of three bonus tracks integrated into the original album's playlist.
The album contains tracks that are still staples of Ween's live performances, such as "You Fucked Up", "Fat Lenny", "Marble Tulip Juicy Tree", and "L.M.L.Y.P."

Two samples of the song "Echoes" by Pink Floyd can be heard in the song "Birthday Boy" — a brief one of a single piano note from the beginning of Echoes is included in the first seconds of the song, and a longer sample is used in the last seconds of the song.
"Don't Laugh (I Love You)" can be heard fading out at the end of the Gwar EP The Road Behind. Gwar also covered "Birthday Boy" on Slaves Going Single. Slave/roadie Danny Black is referred to in "Nan".
L.M.L.Y.P. is largely considered one of Ween's most lyrically offensive songs – the title standing for "Let Me Lick Your Pussy". The song is, in part, a tribute to Prince, not only in its overall style, but with lyrics references the songs "Shockadelica" and "Alphabet St.". The version on The Oneness is nearly nine minutes long, though live versions have been known to last over thirty minutes, usually as an epic set closer. A recorded example of such a version–clocking in at 36:39–can be heard on the band's 2000 live album, Live at Stubb's.
