"Ocean Man" is a song by the American rock band Ween. It was released in 1997 as the second single from their sixth studio album, The Mollusk. It was also released as the B-side to the earlier single "Mutilated Lips" on June 24, 1997.
The song was recorded during the production of Ween's album The Mollusk. Recorded and performed with filtered vocalization, the song contains a mandolin riff, a powerpop drum beat, and an electric guitar solo from Melchiondo. The song has been performed live at various occasions, most notably Live in Chicago and Live at Stubb's. It was also featured during the end credits of The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie and in a 2003 commercial for the Honda Civic.
Allmusic referred to this song as an example of how Ween's "array of silly jokes and musical parody is richer and more diverse than most of its alternative rock contemporaries."
