  • they'd think, "That's weird... and strangely arousing."

  • the newer version of i am the walrus

  • and they used to be such a great band:(

  • and they used to be such a great band:(

    

  • I wanna take this girl to pound town. See if she can pretend to be a doggy.

  • I'm using this song to teach my kids their animals for sure.

  • Hot & crazy chick. The type of combination your dad/uncles would be proud of and not necessarily your mom.

  • It does absolutely no good whining about what you don't like. People don't like the things they like just to piss you off. And the only reason to rant about it is if you have that self absorbed mentality. You don't have to understand it, just tolerate it. Being such an intolerant jerk off makes you look like a spoiled baby.

  • @CrabJock or....you have a good taste in music and its sad to see a great band put out an awful album. please, grow up.

  • @dugtook Again, in different words, tastes are a matter of individual perception. You can say "good" taste or "awful"album all you want, only half of each is truth and the other opinion. What's funny is I hate this song, but you don't see me stepping on the people who like it. A grown up comment would be "I don't like this song" or "I don't like this album as much as the older stuff". But no, somehow you have the knowledge to know what's good for everyone. Yeah, grow up is right.

  • Doctor! she is out of the bed again....

  • hypnotic vid and awesome tune, its like smoke a virtual joint

  • Even if he is drunk, or on drugs, why does it matter? If that's what they gotta do to make her go all out and express herself, then so be it.

    But frankly, I don't think any of you can truly judge whether or not she was sober. I also think that silly fact doesn't matter. XD She can still be a frog.

  • she can be HOt

  • Only men can be helicopters...

  • @DimebagJim420 I laughed so fucking hard.

  • I tried to transform into an animal

    Than I took an arrow to the knee

  • Not evenn with a super joint wasn't near to make anyyyy sense to me lol

    THIS IS HARDDD SHIT!!!!

  • @maurimat Dude. I'm totally sober and I can tell that, broadly, it's a random expression of feeling and nothing more. To me, it is about a girl who believes she can be anything she wants to be and it is an expression of that. I actually find this song empowering, regardless of what it's original intent was. Try finding out what songs mean to you, and you alone and appreciate them, forming your own opinions instead of following the crowd's opinions and getting high all the time.

  • I see many things with my old wizard eyes . . . @ .@ (ice king) lmao

  • Music actually wasn't better before. This is just as weird and awesome as Pink Floyd and King Crimson.

  • DAYUUUM, she's fuckin' hot.

  • well i can be chuck norris!!!!if i want!!!!

  • i don't get this at all!!!!!

  • Nice bum where ya from ?

  • @tzaker1 oh shut up

  • Disisit!

  • I remember back in '09 I bought this album and thought, "what the fuck are these guys thinking?" It is now my all time favorite album. Strange how music grows on you if you give it your time.

  • Imagine what someone would think if they walk past and some guy recording a girl in a bikini acting like animals...

  • @Sonyphilia My first reaction would probably be - "Damn Hipsters"

  • @Sonyphilia They'd think "Nice".

  • 898566 noob and me look this crap

  • Karen O i Love YOU

  • I want her to be a tornado and suck me up to heaven.

  • GEORGEOUS SHE!!!

  • she said alot of things

  • LSD is a hell of a drug

  • @MoriartyYes yes it is!:)

  • @MoriartyYes actually wayne doesn't like LSD, he like shrooms better :D

  • @MoriartyYes

    Wayne Coyne on the band's biggest misconception: People assume we are just gobbling handfuls of acid all the time. "

  • @MoriartyYes I think is completely the opposite ;)

  • rock lobster much?

  • well she is obviously holding her tummy in VERY carefully!

  • ...Quite obviously high.

  • :) I can be a monkey!!!

    

  • Well one thing you can say for sure. The Flaming Lips aint for everyone baby. I love em though.

  • Can she be naked?

  • Frigging love it!! Lol

  • this is typical hipster boring song ...

  • @hyerkill i can understand why some would find it boring, but a hipster song?

  • @hyerkill : Maybe.

    I immediately fell in love. With her. With the song. With The Flaming Lips.

    Didn't know them before...

  • @hyerkill Hipster, are you fucking retarded? Flaming Lips have been around for over 20 years, how an earth can they be hipsters? You need to grow up and look further into music before you label it. There isn't another band on the face of this earth that plays music like the Lips they are completely unique and most certainly not HIPSTER.

  • well it seems like she can be anything :)

    i love this song <3

  • My alarm went off whilst I was watching this. I thought it was part of the video.

  • The video isn't as interesting to me as the lyrics and the meaning. I think its a metaphor for "God's" physical manifestation.

  • @TheGoOdDieFirSt I said nothing about this woman particularly, not her dress or actions. I'm discussing the term, not the woman. I get what your say, about the "fun" and all, but the logic doesnt stand up. The authors intention isn't what were talking about. If the video is objectionable to woman, on levels beyond visceral reaction, then it is objectionable to humanity. It doesnt have to be battle cry but, and take the idiom figuratively, if you're not with us you're against us.

  • @Bowie0005

    Well I'm glad you know the author's intent, so you can inform all of us. Those lyrics are just oozing sexism, and it clearly went into the video too.

    I hope you catch the sarcasm Martin. You're either a troll or you have your head in your ass. Stop either.

  • Well she clearly had a good time doing it. So fuck what everybody else says That's all that should matter. I think it's creative and brilliant. And you don't see too many people jumping on Nicki Minaj (at least not metaphorically) for her slutty music videos.

  • @TheGoOdDieFirSt Sorry, I'm not buying it. You might see something revolutionary or fresh and new, but I'm seeing a nearly-naked woman dancing around in a music video. At the end of the day that's what this is. You can twist it around to make it seem nobler or more respectful or 'artistic' than any other pop video, but any argument you could make to that effect would be purely subjective. Love the video if you want, but love it for what it is. Don't try to make it out to be something it's not.

  • Ridiculous that people jump on the flaming lips about a song that is clearly nothing but positive towards women and say its 'vulgar'. If you want to freshen up on your definition of vulgar why don't you take a look at any rap song and compare the lyrics and video to this.

  • Well, it seems like she can be anything...

    I have no doubt.

    Great song, great video. Very powerful!

    Any kind of creature she wants to be...!

  • @TheGoOdDieFirSt Who makes the decision whether someone is a natural beauty or not? You are using the term as if it was universal truth that some people are born beautiful. There must be some measure by which it is applied, or how would we use it? And by that same measure there are some who are born naturally ugly. The "system", as I poorly referred to it, is white patriarchal ideology, and it exists whether you believe in it or not. But that doesn't mean it can't be resisted.

  • putita

    

  • @overthesea123

    The term "natural beauty" is objectifying. If beauty is something that we are born with, then the producers are exploiting her body for its biological utility (beauty). You are ignoring the fact that she was born into a system in which her appearance is considered beautiful only because beauty is pre-configured in that system.

    She is granted the freedom to wear a bikini because people believe in what you've already stated, that she is structurally a "natural beauty."

    Supertroll

  • @Bowie0005 I use the term "natural beauty" not as a category of women, but rather as an observation she is not made-up heavily or "beautified" in any way. Her hair doesn't appear to be done up and her makeup is very neutral. Explaining what I meant by "natural beauty" pretty much makes your entire argument redundant. And yes, you are a supertroll- glad you at least recognize that.

  • Sounds quite a bit like Pulp

  • zlazher...

    If you see nothing more than a half naked drunk chick fooling around then you have no appreciation for the human form. She was beautiful, and as a previous poster said, she was a symbol for freedom which goes along with the song about how she is free to be anything she wants.

  • The song is pretty cool, but the video is shit, the point of the video was good but end up being vulgar, she is just fooling around half naked, it looks like someone payed a drunk girl to do that. is nothing artistic on it, so stop trying seeing deep and art where is not.

  • What is this hipster shit

  • @will122391 like the playlist name :P

  • I can make love to her

  • fap..? 

  • huh? guess you gotta be high to listen to it or sumthin. i'd still turn it off or erase the tape.

  • haha eat the nigger penis

  • AND I CAN'T... :(

    

  • does anyone else feel like they are tripping ballz while watching this?

  • @lucMAN4413 idk i've never tripped on balls.... like rubber balls or sports balls?

  • I'd hit that

  • I Can Be A Ronna

  • Holy shit.  That girl is really hot.

  • @sjgeorge32 You're missing the point

  • @thebigdiegowski what's the point?

  • @sjgeorge32 Natural beauty man, natural beauty

  • @thebigdiegowski Why, just because the song advocates the importance of pretending. Sounds like something you made up, the natural beauty thing, and who knows the points of songs anyway. Everything with music is completely subjective.

  • @sjgeorge32 poop penis

  • @thebigdiegowski cocksucking poop penis to you, fag.

  • @sjgeorge32 triple poop

  • @thebigdiegowski Nigger

  • @sjgeorge32 Eat the nigger

  • @thebigdiegowski and that's just gross, man.

  • @thebigdiegowski the point is that she can be any kind of creature, she wants to be!!

  • @yerfavoritegreg yes it is

  • I think this is the beauty of being a human. A bear is always a bear, a frog is always a frog, but a human can be /anything/!

  • @otterheart wow man/girl/dolphin... nice.

  • how to make a video clip with 5 dollars... heh...

  • i could hit that

  • @ellisufc Read the comment, she says It would represent more freedom if she was nude and not be objectifying

  • Lady, you were good. Everything you did was perfect..."Dennis, your mule is SHIT!" No, but all-in-all, this was an awesome song and I 100% agree with overthesea123.

  • She's so beautiful.

  • This is a nice song. I like it (1000th comment?)

  • How the fuck is that a Gila monster?

  • I said, I could watch her all day....

  • yo gabba gabba brought me here :) is that appropreite

  • That is fucking awesome

  • heroins hell of a drug

  • The world's cheapest low budget music video

  • the plant got some

  • what the fuck is this? men the chick its so fucking hot but c´mon

  • I thought she was naked and had a dick for a few seconds

  • CAN'T WAIT! This Thursday, Flaming Lips/Weezer. I'm in the 11th row babbbyyy! Percocets and lots of liqour ALLLLLL night! lmao

  • u can be anything if u trip enuf ballz

  • @killaspongebob666 *anything you want

     + Besides I don't want to have an argument.

  • @killaspongebob666 Surely if you can say anything I want, and anyone else can, then I can say something about my taking offence to what you said. You can't tell me to not say anything because anyone can be able to say anything, that's utterly wrong.

  • I just came.

  • i kept waiting for the big fat opening riff XD

  • beautiful girl, beautiful song =)

  • cheapest music video ever made :)

  • @tashermasher not really , arctic monkeys have a cheaper one jajaja XD

  • personally as a man i would have prefered to see her naked too - what with the freedom and the symbols and the zzzzzzzzzzzzz

  • Ya know, girls judge GUYS based on their looks too. HOWDYA FEEL BOUT DAT?

  • personally as a woman, i like this music video! i dont really find it objectifying as some may say..its not like her tits are popping out of her bathing suit or she's wearing a thong. she's a natural beauty for one thing, i think its a symbol of freedom, she can be anything she wants to be. she's completely neutral. hell, it would even be better if she were naked all together! now THAT would be freedom.

  • @overthesea123 as a friend told me once - "only true perverts want to ban all nudity, because all nudity is only sexual to true perverts".

  • @Oisterboy : you word it!

  • @overthesea123

    would it be objectifying if she was nude? i think not. human nudity is beautiful as long as the person hasn't let their body degrade from the natural state it should be in.

  • @overthesea123 YES! exactly being naked doesn't always have to be sexual the objectification lays in the intentions of what is said or put out and also in the way that it is seen by the people.  If we can watch a woman dance naked and not think about having sex with her but of what her bodys saying just like every other time we see someone dance then can we move higher

  • @overthesea123 I dig your take on this vid. I think it's loads of fun and innocent and all about being whatever she - or anyone else wants to be. :) She can be anything! Any kind of frog or bear or monkey, anything she wants to beeeeeeeeeee...!

  • @overthesea123

    I just didn't see where she became a frog?

  • @overthesea123 Also, she was high as shit when she was in this music video.

  • Where's Blue?

  • Thanks to the Flaming Lips, I now know what a Gila Monster is.

  • man i would like this song if i hadnt seen that video worst video ever

  • man i would like this song if i hadnt seen that video

  • Or she Can Even be a Crow... Free Spirt Indeed..

  • FRUITY AND HOT.

  • Comment removed

  • Don't get me wrong, I like seeing women in a bikini as much as the next guy. But was this really necessary?

  • haha wtf steve from blues clues is in the band

  • @workingtitle43 WHAT he's in the flaming lips

  • @josheskimo sorry i messed up. steve (the guitarist) was in an episode of blues clues or something so i assumed that he was THE steve

  • Interpretations, really why does it have to be anything at all?

  • Reading through the comments. Pretentious interpretations. Clearly this is an acid trip. That's it. If you where around in the '70s you would know that.

  • i dont think it's representing evil or beauty at all...its about a girl and her free spirit/ imagination...i don't think it's that complicated

  • the flamming lips rock

  • I've watched this god damn video three times now and I still have no idea what the FUCK is going on. Is this one of those things that you have to be high, drunk, crazy or all of the above in order to understand?

  • I always thought that the woman represented evil, and she says she could anything, so the song is trying to say that evil could be anywhere.

  • @MindOfFeebleness is it possible that she respresents beauty, instead of evil?

  • @rileynowak You could be right, but the sinister music and Wayne's sorrowful tone made my mind think evil. I like your interpretation though.

  • this song is rad

  • :D

  • I would kill to hang out with Wayne Coyne and Karen O

  • 500,000 views from guys searching for "sexy girls with frogs"

  • Lol shes not high

  • she sounds like a douche. 

  • this video has a whole new meaning as i watch it on acid

  • Her lion looks suspiciously like her bear.

  • @ChieftestofSinners

    fuking lol

  • butterface

  • The neatest thing about the Lips is that they are inclusive, in that friends, family, fans or any are welcome. That they use 'regular' people in videos is unscripted genius. Music and experience seem to be the primary goal of the band, be it themselves or the audience.

  • damn... that's weird

  • Beware pedobear!!!

  • I want to marry her!

  • this is cool........imagination...I'm a children too......

  • GOT THAT DONK!

  • is she naked? :|
