the flaming lips yoshimi battles the pink robots part 1

[Spacelord2525]

Great song. But it's absolutely begging for a video ; )

[323Xero]

Accoriding to the Represetive its a girl suffering from cancer and how its represented by the pink robots and how how yoshimi is the super hero her best friend made up in order to cope with her best friends caner :(

[banzaiii38]

[KellyLovexo]

[sk8brd4life]

hot chocolate 

[Skyrimcrazed]

68 people got killed by robots, and all the rest got saved.

Don't hate, it will save your life.

[kevin4787]

68 people wish those robots would eat him.

[101ramboman]

Yeah, only the Japanese make up shit this awesome

[azerskater]

@101ramboman ...The Flaming Lips aren't Japanese....

[KimRobinRisvi]

@101ramboman if this was japanese, it would sound like every japanese band evermade like all japanese music.

[misterjingles666]

ive always thought it was about the drummer from the band "boredoms" hahahah

[plasticspine]

he will defeat those evil natured robots

[alex10barba]

[PLATO818]

@alex10barba -______-

[alex10barba]

@PLATO818 i'm guessing you like yoshimi?

[PLATO818]

@alex10barba she is my best friend

[alex10barba]

[PLATO818]

@alex10barba it's actually awesome to be me, it probably suck's to be you i already forgot about this you must be really board> anyway's im here for music not for negative energy.

[chuc9600]

This song KICKS SOME SERIOUS ASS!!! Whether it;s about beating cancer or a acid trip,I like all the same!

[FrothyLoins123]

This song reminds me of Nam'

[DelbertaRayshaun]

@calisonthecase669... You start out whining about some skyrim jokes, which an adult can easily ignore, then switch to talking about what a grown up person you really are. Yeah. Ok.

[jagorzynski]

ha! more like 765,138 fans of a great band, minus 1 because I had to watch it again... lol

[1234LETStartAwar]

this songs chiller then the arctic circle

[kevinkarimi]

@1234LETStartAwar or colder than a polar bear's toe nail.

[1234LETStartAwar]

@kevinkarimi or chiller then an icy cold beverage on the first day of summer

[Buonarr]

wayne u r so cool

[kushamisaru]

When I first heard this song, I thought it was about a guy with Schizophrenia. But I like the idea of it being a big metaphor for a girl fighting cancer better. Or even taking it at face value; a Japanese girl fighting some pink robots.

[HillsideKlepht]

this is a song that a few years ago I would have called emo bullshit but I'm getting older and a lot more relaxed about my music.... I like this now.

[LoganCloude]

@HillsideKlepht Emo? I hear nothing emo about this lol. Maybe geeky. :P

But that's why I loves it! :D

[HillsideKlepht]

@LoganCloude lol yeah but when you listen to metal and hip hop all day this can be kinda emo-ish.... but again, I like this song and don't even think it's emo, but a few years ago I probably would have

[LoganCloude]

@HillsideKlepht I think I kinda understand. I used to be really into metal, but not so much lately. I was gonna make an "arrow in the knee" joke, but it seemed unnecesary.

[gingerbreadboy]

@HillsideKlepht Brilliant musical insight there, just inspiring,

[HillsideKlepht]

@gingerbreadboy are you just naturally a cunt or do you take lessons from your mother?

[grandesosos]

yeah! good post...XD



[derpstunfisk]

Sounds like a song from Katamari. That's a good thing.

[SortaSmoothCriminal]

my friend sent me here. at first i was like wtf is this. now i love it haha. love how things turn out like that.

[jenirocksotb]

i love you yoshimi

[VeganHyena]

This is a concept album; it's meant to be taken literally. This song isn't about cancer, love... It's about a girl named Yoshimi, who fights against pink robots, why is that so hard to digest?

[RandomJew11]

i declare war jingle bear rock

[rawr359]

i wish youtube told you when you were the top comment, i was wondering why i kept getting replies

[enoching7]

[themightygreenman]

@calisonthecase669 skyrim is awesome as fuck, and as much as i would like to bitch about how wrong you are, you have a point, people want to here the flaming lips. not the god damn arrow to the knee joke.

[calisonthecase669]

@themightygreenman i respect you. just like i would like to bitch about how wrong you are about skyrim are points are shared :D

[torchfire1]

@calisonthecase669 wow man you need to grow up we were just joking around also this is a page for flaming lips songs or should i say a page for chill and laid back people

[calisonthecase669]

@torchfire1 i am grown up your the one making jokes about games that's childish :L hypocrite ! lol :P

[torchfire1]

@calisonthecase669 by the way syrim is rated m so its not chilidish so yeah go suck a railroad spike

[TheWalrus9091]

@calisonthecase669 use to like skyrim, then he took an arrow to the knee.

[hiisgreat]

@eatingmice0 I used to try and get top comments with memes, then I turned 11...

[RedWolgon]

@eatingmice0 Sigh...

[Isaiah2V]

@eatingmice0 a guy is going to come out of your computer and beat the shit out of you for putting that

[Blueshoes1993]

[mitcho55555]

[santaclara84]

[CJandthebreakfast]

This has become my favorite cover to play. 

[alain1986]

[Zongtastic420]

my gf is a black belt in karate :)

[rawr359]

You guys can talk about cancer all you want, but I'm pretty sure this song is about a girl named Yoshimi who battles some pink robots.

[GoreyOr]

@rawr359 According to Wayne Coyne, it is about fighting cancer.

[Asterikk]

@GoreyOr You have a valid point-

But Fuck You, I'm Spiderman.

[GoreyOr]

@Asterikk What the hell?

[ImtheReaper234]

@Asterikk :O SAVE MY CAT!

[MrPsykk]

@rawr359 It really was written for someone dying of cancer

[greendaykid2000]

@rawr359 fuck that is was wrote for a girl with cancer the PINK FLIPPING ROBOTS is the cancer YOSHIMI is the girl with CANCER

[RickAstleyZ]

Pete vs Life anyone?

[kuruship]

[technofishy]

62 people support the evil pink robots

[PLATO818]

damn those evil pink robot's

[claxton29]

@SupaMarioX

that is literally my favorite part of the song.

[3TigerHeart13]

This song was written by Band of Horses, in honor of Yoshimi, who lost her battle with cancer before she could meet Band of Horses in person. RIP Yoshimi.

[Twankiez1019]

@3TigerHeart13 that's the plot of the new musical coming out.

[FOBMAN13]

60 people died from the pink robots while 2,227 survived because Yoshimi.

[groovebot5001]

This song is about Starbuck from Battle Star Galactica.

[TheRaisedThumb]

I like the live version better, just because there is less techno/ambiance and it sounds more acoustic and, well, better

[MrCombinesoldier]

Best song ever.

[isabellovesandy]

my new obsession 

[technofishy]

@isabellovesandy defeating the pink robots???

[kenny8331]

@ScoTTishN1NJA i saw an interview where he said it was about the drummer named yoshimi. he wrote this song after hearing a track of her screaming. you can hear it on part 2 of this song.

[roshambo1234567]

beautiful, so beautiful. i love this song. it can make me happy anytime anyplace.

has anyone heard the Low Suns from the UK , they sound similar. i was just wondering, no one seems to have heard of them in my town... anyone?

[amiapunk88]

This was one of my sister Sarahs favorite songs they played it at her funeral and i must say i think she would have laughed to hear this song being played at such a moment R.I.P Sarah you were my Yoshimi.

[vestedredsox]

@amiapunk88 i would to hate to lose my sister even though she can be a cunt sometimes i would to hate to go through whatyour going through i pretty sure you will pull through it.just remember that shes in a better place now.Remember the good times you guys had together.GOOD LUCK:)

[funny11231]

[fabtrain]

[davidoran123]

[thatsfornoobs]

[ml1968lf]

The synthesizer sounds like radiation.

[SpookCDF]

[fall311]

[bostoncookies]

Hot chocolate

[ObeseKings]

this song's about cancer, by the way.

[iLaBomBom]

@ObeseKings bro. i did not know that. my whole perspective on this song jut changed xD

[GunnarMcGriff]

I just played Robot Unicorn Attack to this song.

[digirosariofan]

I have the song All wei have is now. It is good but it doesn't have the acoustic guitar from this song at all. I love this song.

[RTILLERY20]

i wish there other songs were this good... but this song makes up for the rest of their bad songs... lol

[ShannonHMalone]

My dad used to play this to me as a kid, it reminds me of being younger.

[Oztradamau5]

I know how everyone's saying it's about breast cancer, but to me it's about overcoming any obstacles at all. whether it be disease, sickness, or even passing a grade. I've been listening for a while, just to take in every aspect of the song. it blows my mind how powerful music can be.

[MoltenMustafa]

For those of you who don't know, this song's about a girl fighting cancer. The "pink robots" are the cancer. The city is the girl's body. Yoshima is the girl's antibodies/whatever your body does when it fights cancer.

[thenoisejammmer]

the chorus sounds kinda "dubsteppy"

[OVskater]

R.I.P. Bubbles!

[mrchina29]

Her name is yoshimi

Shes a black belt in karate (hey)

Workin 4 the city

She has 2 dicipline her body

Cuz she know dat, its demamding

2 defeat those evil machines

I know she can beat them

Oh yoshimi, they dont believe me

But u wont let those robots eat me yoshimi

[kaitywrieden]

I always picture a two little kids playing pretend when i hear this song. My mind plays in part cartoon (the robots), part "live-action." I know i can't be the only person who's brain makes awesome music videos when hearing this song.

I love this song.

[bigcoolboy96]

If I get 20 likes I'll definitely perform this to audition for my school's show choir and if I don't then I still will because this song deserves to be sung to everyone :)

[Tigersfooball]
