Was (not Was) - Earth to Doris/Robot Girl

[CancerLicker]

7 people didn't get a donut on this cold, dim, fluorescent morning.

[devilduck]

Was is a seriously unappreciated bass player.

[brh062222]

Is that Jeff Porcaro on drums?

[n8tureboy]

Where do I have to go to get my very own Robot Girl? Hey....wait, didn't some Japanese guy invent one!

[Hruundi]

Finally!! Earth Ta' Doris on Youtube..thank you! Claaassiiic!

[zipperbabeable]

These lyrics are a perfect marriage of sci-fi imagery, beatnik rap and delivered with a side of LSD. Yikes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!

[Mongo61]

"TV screen faces aren't pretty, it's true"

Is that a swipe at David Was?

This was a great fucking show: Leonard Cohen, Pixies, Sonic Youth, (speaking of flutes and R&B) Curtis Mayfield...

I guess the music clearances must be horrendous. What a shame; no DVD I guess.

[Ecouterohmy]

@Mongo61 ahh david was so much prettier in person...magnetic and endearing....

[Mongo61]

@Ecouterohmy Hey, *I* didn't say it, Harry did. But, you're right, I was harsh. My bad.

This line always gets me; "...her skin gleaming blue every time a fly died..."

[princessandgoblin]

so amazing.

[dabluz1125]

How often does a flute get featured in a funk song?

[chas63]

Not enough. Totally works. No-brainer, n'est pas?

[tirayi]

When the Jews and the Brothers get together it is always SUBLIME.

Milk and Honey!!!

[p0p3p1u5x]

Rat on my mench! Rat on.

[thekoanis]

Perhaps that was the proverbial 'land of milk and honey' the bible was really referring to!

[PeterMayer]

Eath to Doris! I haven't heard this in a while. Who's the drummer?

[steviedeedee]

I think it's Ron Pangborn...

[sgpnc]

Was (Not Was) is the best. "Earth to Doris" is very like Captain Beefheart, but please wait until "Robot Girl" kicks in about 2 min in. Don Was is a great bassist. I'm so glad they are touring again. I feel good...I feel better than James Brown...

[DjoniV]

@sgpnc I agree. Many people comment on the Zappa similarity. I hear more Beefheart in this stuff.

[Worldowner]

Ugly voice!

[happyhead64]

great song. Don Was is SO cool....

this is very "zappa-ish"

[miasm]

this is unacceptably bad. music if tom waits was a total pussy.

[Tonyoverdrive]

Shut up you fucking twat.

[Draykid]

Bill Murray says (2:52 AM): notice how once one song ends they instantly go into the next. Bill Murray says (2:52 AM): that's fucking crazy. Bill Murray says (2:52 AM): seriously. Bill Murray says (2:52 AM): it's like walking in one direction and then INSTANTLY CHANGING DIRECTION WITHOUT EVEN STOPPING LBM Fapping Agency says (2:52 AM): :S:S:S:S:S:S:S LBM Fapping Agency says (2:52 AM): wat

[suzieq008]

Hi there, just in the mood for some cool tunes of yours this evening...I love this and all your stuff, you know. thanks, hugs, S.

[baybo272]

Tremendous music. I'm glad they're back!

[MzFlux]

God, I love Was (Not Was). They just came out with a new album "Boo!" slated for an April '08 release. BUY IT!

I know I will.

[Draykid]

Question, did the fat dude die? Because I just saw something with a concert from them and he wasn't there.

[mrgb46]

New album BOO!:5 STARS! Their best!!

[MorbidShit2007]

Y M C A hehehe

[MorbidShit2007]

YEAH THATS SOME TIGHT GAY SHIT :D

[barfchunks]

David Weiss is hot.

[ZachsMind]

This is a perfect example of what made Was Not Was so special. First there's the near cacophonic craziness of Earth to Doris coupled with David Was' clandestine effort to touch wordjazz (you younguns go look up KEN NORDINE and then thank me to your grave) and then there's the flawless rhtythmic slide from cacophony to mind warping jazzfunkrock tres buttkicking of Robot Girl. This band simultaneously made no sense and made perfect sense.

[bjbjbjbjbj]

couldn't say it better myself

hello dad......

[qwareverse]

from the mind to the world

couldn't have said it better myself

[vodude]

I was never a fan of David Was' mindless ranting on the album or in this video. But when this band performs musically, they are second to none. Great video.

[helicop]

hi mom , dad " I'M IN JAIL !" " I LIKE IT HERE!"

[candysweets53]

What has ever happened to this band? When they toured with Paula Abdul and Milli Vanilli back in the 80's,THEY were the only band that played LIVE..Try to top that,Paula!!!

[dogbreath3000]

i miss this band,their excellence continues to amazen me. howcome this appears to have been missed is beyond me, perphaps the adhd generation only get as far as walk the dinosaur
