Yoshimi 1 'Pink Robots'

[417joey]

I sang that at nature's classroom!

[RUgregarious]

Brovo

[Bittersweetrosebud]

I'vbe seen them live and their amazing, they truely love there music, and there fans, Whane is a great guy and is willing to talk to all his fans and support there veiws. The band's music is so insiring, and beautiful (Yes I might have a few spelling mistakes in here, I am a terrible speller haha) I highly reccomened seeing them live :)

[deadheadjoe88]

Interesting video, good song thou. Great band to see live!

[zombiequeen21]

my brother got me hooked me on this song :)

[bogusEntropy]

@MrSantul -- joking? How could I be joking? The eternal struggle between Japanese girls and pink robots is a theme that reverberates throughout our brave new world. Nowhere is better expressed the nobility, the courage, the striving that moves one to overcome all obstacles that nature can devise and emerge triumphant. This simple Japanese girl, a bureaucrat with a knowledge of the martial arts takes up the banner of mankind and goes out to do battle against a seemingly insurmountable foe.

[SquiggleFox]

mommy? may i NOT get an elatrick sharpanor fore shhcool

[gowhordslayer2011]

yoshimi kicked some ass

[DreamCastrsDuel]

"Its about lonely girls making mountains out of molehills."

What song r u listening to? It's about karate girls beating up on evil natured robots!

[then00best]

@DreamCastrsDuel lol he said the video is about that

[rok4sale]

yoshimi is just tripping ballss!!!

[tomb613]

This song is really about battling breast cancer ( evil pink robots)

[ScooterBrownYYZ]

It's about lonely girls making mountains out of molehills? Fuck. You just ruined that fucking song for me.

[FenBolds]

This is way better than the official music video! Yay!

[AndezDCUO]

Sorry to ruin your seemingly fun game of speculation and assumptions, but the song is about a friend of one of the band who died of breast cancer.

[1999lolalola]

this is hilarious!

[DSfan81]

@alcazarist I always thought this song was a comment on the way that modern life is affecting sense of identity and inter-personal relationships...

[ThoseOceanicVistas]

Why does she have no shoes on.......

[xXxEmokid75xXx]

i'd eat her too but from the other end (giggity!!)

[ckllejas]

rock band 3!!!!!!

[ExodoPics]

so is this like fan made?

[Lexiisauruz]

Well, i dont even think their talking about robots unless you mean robots of the corporate industry. The people who now have no feleings and just work for the city without having a mind of their own, otherwise known as "Robots"

[dragonslyaer]

brings back so many memories

[peacesignperson24398]

WTF this dosn't revolve around the song at all NVM didnt see the ending.

[peacesignperson24398]

WTF this dosn't revolve around the song at all. 

[toolz88]

Down with robot hate

[SkankinRobots]

excuse me while i kick my pencil sharpeners ass

[peacesignperson24398]

@SkankinRobots LOL

[Catfood4Kids]

BEST BAND/BEST SONG

[yogimcadam]

listen to the entire CD... that's what you have to do... the person who posted this song is ignorant, or just joking. the people below, are either gay themselves (takes one to know one) or do not know anything about Japanese culture. either way, ignorance is ignorance... have a blast with your blissful ignorance.

[speano]

@yogimcadam One cannot condemn the ignorant and use gay as an insult in the same comment. Blind misled arrogance, indeed.

[jenirocksotb]

i love u yoshimi... :)

[Chroposnos]

Don't know, I've seen this video twice and I don't find anything gay on it. Great song and the video is kinda cool.

[jpmcruiser95]

very cool!

[jimichong24]

fuck yeah

[giga0524]

song is awesome, but the video is fucking gay.

[TheMizzMafia]

is mi imajination ilove it vladimir

[juju537]

quality of the sound is bad

[Amandabearish]

YOUR STUPID.

[MrsChetBaker555]

@Amandabearish What about my stupid?

[AmiMecanique]

@MrsChetBaker555  Its fly is down. o:

[breatv]

good music!

[NarutoIkari]

psychedelic insanity someone slipped her some trippy acid

[XxblackrainstudioxX]

parry gripp?

[jujubee1233]

heehee

[foulonlu]

waouhhh!!

[sonas76]

I welcome my future robot over-lords.

[shades2]

Was great seeing the Flaming Lips live.. highly recommend seeing them on stage. :)

[bogusEntropy]

Clearly this song is (disturbingly) anti-robot. You may think it's all fun and games, but the next time an automated checkout gets its screen bashed in because it had the temerity to overscan some punk's tootsie-rolls, you might want to consider the effect that songs like this have on ordinary day-to-day human-robot interactions.

[topdrummer724]

@bogusEntropy I love you

[evilevo420]

this is win

[shades2]

@bogusEntropy I believe according to the lyrics of the song, that only evil, pink robots are in fact at risk here...

[bogusEntropy]

quite true, @shades2, and anyone reading the previous post should keep in mind that there is considerable color variation which comes into play here. Obviously, you can't expect the same ethical outlook from an evil Pink Robot as you might from a gray Roombah or a yellow traffic light. In spite of what the lyrics might imply, I think I could probably stand right next to one of those Sony dogs and not have to worry about being eaten. Or bit, even.

[TheHolySpirit]

@bogusEntropy Some might call those automated checkouts the beginning of the final phase of Technological Unemployment. When did you last get a smile from one of those things?

[DSilsbury]

@bogusEntropy I think you're just over reacting, and rather than being part of the solution you're part of the problem. Some of my best friends are robots, some are gay robots, and I even know an african lesbian robot, and all of them love this song!!!

[GaaraFan2011]

@DSilsbury

lol Red v. Blue

[jimigogo]

@bogusEntropy lol



[jmlbloom]

@bogusEntropy lol

[TheTopher68]

@bogusEntropy it's a metaphor u silly goose

[MrSantul]

@bogusEntropy I hope you're joking. 

[Floydthefuckbag]

@bogusEntropy You and the 96 people who gave you a thumbs up are traitors to humanity.

[brewforyou]

When you have become disillusioned by our opinion of progress, and see that people are sharing the opinions given to them by the media, indeed acting like machines. Then, when you see the hope that one bright glimmering individual can bring. You will understand this song.

[chentex23]

God Thank you xD Then its true! Some people really do understand this song.

[IbakerboyI]

Well it does have a meaning, when I was at the 09-10 new years freakout they played it. And Wayne (the lead singer) said "as your lissoning to this song look for the meaning because I didn't even know it untell not to long ago." So Im trying to find it myself.

[takeoffyo]

have you all heard of "broken bells"? kind of reminds me of the flaming lips.

[ravensmyname]

yea :)

[Dag0nauta]

just like i imagined!!!!

thnx to the animator..

[ratlover55]

This is one of my favorite songs ever along with all lost in the supermarket- clash, do you realise-Flaming lips, White stripes songs, Dynamite- Ima robot lolz and alot more! Im crazy im supossed to like some cheapish pop other kids like but i dont care! Ps if you like any bands i just named add me and also i hate to addmit it but i kind of like cheapish pop too!

[Solarcoreg]

It's about a girl in the future fighting freaking huge monster robots for fraks sake! that's it. it's an awesome song. there's no reason to take it any other way.

[SephirothBurger]

KABLAAM

[baniscool314]

what the fuck is all this shit about mistress?

[r3s0lv3]

isnt This song about a girl fighting cancer..?

[lx123p]

that it is, that it is

[MozziIo]

@r3s0lv3 No.

[babycracka13]

I saw him Yesterday and he said it was about his mistress. Wtf? I think this guy is getting tangled up in his lies.

[MrSuperBallzack]

maybe his friend is his mistress that wont let him down haha

[frankdatank089]

well, both of those coudl be correct. assuming his mistress is one of his good friends.

aka, his mistress never letting him down.

[jovenmedia]

This song really isn't about shit. All songs don't need to have meaning, and the best songs are open to interpretation. This could be a break up song for somebody but a love song for another

BTW, this song revolves around the verse, "yoshimi, they don't believe me" and they built the melody and the rest of the song around that one verse.

[jackcasey1984]

I saw them on tuesday and he said its about a friend never letting you down.

[theestever]

Yes, it is about a girl with leukaemia - Yoshimi from The Boredoms, but I like the way it can be extended and the song can become a heartfelt message of moral support for a friend in trouble.

[mauskeks]

I think it is funny when people misspell the word "stupid".

[ShwomShwom]

I'd laugh if you spelt "stupid" wrong when you said that lol.

[MungeParty]

I'd laugh if you spelled "spelled" right.

[geico1212]

@mauskeks i know its sooo stupit

[DarkAngelEU]

@mauskeks same with dumb ;)

[hlobubbles10]

you guys are all stupied this song is suppose to be about yoshimi battling the big pink robots duh idiots

[itsalltoofunny]

glad someone besides me's got it all figured out hehe

[thelostgirl1313]

in my opinion, it doesnt matter as much what the artist's original reason for writing the song was... i mean its important, but the different peoples' interpretations of the song are more important

it just means whatever it means to you

[sn0wmangrizzles]

uhm, just so you know.. it's actually about a girl in a japanese all girl's band that has cancer (pink robots) and her fight to survive the cancer and kimo and stuff. get your facts right dude.

[CountToThreeAndGrin]

kimo? seriously? and you are telling someone else to get their facts right?

[mellflores1]

kimo?

[brick9is9red]

the flaming lips give me a feeling of nostalgia.

[craveskin9]

oh dude, eden guy, keep going.. ive always wanted to know what this song was about or meant hah, i dont get it still haha

[EdenTheoryRocks]

well, the guy that posted this vid couldnt be more wrong about what this song means...this song is practically a literal description of the human condition...the duality of man, where there are people that are good people, and look upon others with compassion, and there are people who have lost their souls, and look upon others with malice, and have become robots...check out my songs and rants, im solid, show some love

[remakese]

Song interpretation is all opinion, that is all. To find out what the artist was thinking at the time it was written you would need to speak to them.

[milohasagun]

first time i listened to this i was trippin shrooms for the first time and i loved it this song reminds me of some of the best memories ive ever had

[DangerStepp]

I really wish I could get into this stuff. I can see where others may find it enjoyable; I suppose haven't made it to that age yet.

[Cagliari1234]

again this is SHIT!

[Cagliari1234]

and for the french asshole talking shit.... fuck you you ignorant coward toad sucker.

[TheMarovan]

You are just butthurt.

[FSSBiAlex]

you must really like this song to comment so many times. or you just have no life.

[VDoPanteraCFH]

sup brah

[sweetness639]

:) for some reason this song reminds me of summer

[Cagliari1234]

mindless. meaningless, mediocre ...FAIL.

a reflection of todays America.

[TheMarovan]

I´d like to see some of your oh so great musical taste, mister.

[Cagliari1234]

why the hell r you being so sarcastic for... fuck man.. you know that it doesnt really matter what answer I give you..cuz youll bash it even if you like it too. But in all seriousnes if we are gonna get techn ical ..i mean cmon almost anything is better than this. Ive heard more enjoyable music in 80s movies soun dtracks. for example.this is just bad ,,all of its parts music, words aesthetic everything ..man radiohead(as boring and dumb as they are) is better than this shit.

[sweetness639]

damn it man shut up!

no one wants to hear anything you have to say.

[Cagliari1234]

well your mother seemed very interested... as she was telling me she hadnt been satisfied like that in years ciz your dad turned into a fag and how dissapointed she was of you for being a retard with no musical sense.

[darksilklips]

Actually, I wasn't satisfied at all. I faked it!  Haha.

--sweetness' mom

[TheMarovan]

why the hell r u typing liek dis?

That makes you soundlike a dumbfuck. If you are bashing us for having no musical sense, there still isn´t any prove that you actually have one.

[Cagliari1234]

holy shit ! saw yoour pic on the comment. Dont waste my time little boy...and here i was wonderi ng .. why you dont know shit about music... sorry man. didnt realize you were from the retard generation. my apologies. my bad.

[TheMarovan]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Oh wow, now you are not only being pretentious, but also a faggot that stereotypes people by age.

[Cagliari1234]

away with yobu little fag...pick a fight when ypu learn to pee straight.

im done with you.fuck you.

[Cagliari1234]

man this sucks!!!! what happened to musical talent? man people liking this crap is just and encouragement to the general acceptance of mediocracy and low standards.

Indie just equals to: lets not get good at an ything lets just all be the same!!! lame and bad at everything!!

[Sammmyboy200]

what the fuck are you talking about? Of all the music out there today this is the band you decide to come down on?

[Cagliari1234]

what would you suggest Mr.Almighty? is not my faut this is crap ..and thats not only a personal opinion..i mean this is bad from all the musical points of view, wether you want to accept that or not. I know there is a lot of crap music out there, I just happened to stumble upon this gigantic piece of shit by accident. which makes it hard to believe there is people who listen to it on purpose. musical retards.ahh nothing more.Again point taken , this is not the only crap out there.

[XdSK8RBOidX]

we sang this in camp it was awesome

[Milene89]

cute ^^ 

:3

[CAR18MEN]

DAMN MACHINES!!!!!!!!!!!

*shakes fist in air*

[bellum52]

The clue is in the sharpener turning into a crab, the crab being the description of........

[slayer666pierce]

i heard he wrote the song too win over a girl that he was in love with.its about her.

[gottalovemymovies]

Awesome execution of the pencil sharpener turning into a robot!

[JoesCheapThrills]

Nice tribute like the pixel look.

[yubbone]

songs kinda cool, the video is fuckin gay

[alcazarist]

...says the guy who's apparently boning his dog.

[snappleguts]

@alcazarist nono, he's right, this video sucks balls. the song's good thoh

[lookslikehalloween]

haha you people don't know jack about this video. my mom's friend george made the album cover. my godfather is the drummer.

[3II4life]

you're an idiot.

[Bloodlust840]

The song IS about Cancer. The connection via Pink is retarded.

[Ahoc1]

Im stoned , and this video freaked me out. Im geekin.

[ryoohki23]

It's about Yoshimi. She was studying martial arts. She had a city government job. She seemed like a good prospect to enlist in ones struggle with those evil robots that want to eat the protagonist. I think what the song means is pretty obvious. Enough said!

[beatlegirl33]

GEEK :)

[MrsChetBaker555]

BREAST CANCER?!!?!

Just because pink = pink ribbons = breast cancer?!

Jesus, that could also mean pink = pink panther = FIGHTING JEWEL THIEVES!! They're both the same amount of stupiiiid

[RandomStyle360]

the band said it themselves,the song is just about a girl fighting robots P:

[willbur58]

wayne coyne doesn't do drugs anymore. he hasnt for years either. watch "fearless freaks" the flaming lips documentary. steven was the last one to give it up, overcoming a heroin addiction about 7 years ago and still going strong. people on all types of drugs couldnt last for well over twenty years and keep going stronger and stronger every day. seemingly.

[sireatsalot77]

why does it matter what the songs about?

dont analyze it because only the writer truly knows. just enjoy the music

[randommoogle]

umm guys. this song is about a girl fighting robots.

[RedRedWineMusic]

THANK YOU!!! lol.

people analyze too much.

[LaGoonch]

How's this about breast cancer?

[nickyh111]

i think he means, pink = pink ribbons, pinkribbons=battle for breat cancer.

idont think hes right,

[animechick345]

hey noobs.. this is about breast cancer...

definitely not ... friendship?

how the hell do you even get that?

[MrGyatso]

Perhaps explain it to us.

[mine9eye]

It's not about lonely girls blah blah blah.

It's about friendship, Wayne said so - last night when I saw him, he said "...singing this song, I realised it's about friendship..." then we all sang it, like you do. Funny he wrote it before he understood it, probably wrote it: to understand friendship.

[lineanthem360]

i'm 12 and what is this?

[letsalllaughatgeorge]

strong words /b/rotha.

[postyman86]

mushrooms are good fun :)

[Wiser11]

Just tried them for the first time two nights ago and I agree except if other people fuck with you

[live4baseball37]

lol this is so funny me and my sis both really like it!!!!! =D NICE VID

[jzino89]

next time try and make the sound quality worse if you can

[cheesemop27]

hahaha

[kyumori82]

using the HQ code makes it sound fine.. just add &fmt=18 to the end of the URL =)

[Drummer2349]

funky music video, but still a great song!!

[fabbrunette]

the kids on my school bus sang this song this past year :)

[TyTyPunch]

I didn't know that was what this song was about, :D thats so cool! :D

[wetmanispwnt]

hah shit, i should have when i was!

[stuckingphoner]

really well done video. fuck lonely loser bitches.

[LesYeuxDeDarius]

the guy who wrote it was also on shrooms when he wrote it dude.

[lovingrats]

WHAT ARE SHROOMS?

[LesYeuxDeDarius]

mushrooms -. -

[lovingrats]

how do u "use shrooms?"

[skyling94]

Eat 'em...and you're in for a treat.

[whyhowdydoo]

eat em

[whyhowdydoo]

its a type of drug that you eat and they make you trip for like six hours. its like lsd kinda.

[IndieInstead]

this song at rockness wat SHIT HOT! WOOP! :)

[hannahkittie]

I didn't think it was sexist.

You're animation was good. ;)

[kasharman]

wow, your description of this song is mighty sexist and mighty inaccurate. you shouldn't insult the flaming lips brilliant music that way.

[TheKorealover]

never really listened to this band before but so far so good

[CalebTheGuitarist]

WHERE HAVE I HEARD THIS SONG BEFORE?

[ninjakimmiey]

Its on AMV hell 4 if you've seen that

[CalebTheGuitarist]

naa, i probably saw it on either havoc, or maybe fueltv.

[thefourthskin]

it's off a the hot chocolate skate dvd.

[drgreenthumb0293]

what is AMV?

[ninjakimmiey]

AMV is Anime Music Video.. AMV Hell 4 is a movie full of AMV skits.

[Invisiblefiyah]

i like your style

who the hell wrote this song? my name is yoshimi so this song sounds sooo freakin awkward lol
