The Flaming Lips - The W.A.N.D. (Video)

[lucasgelati]

For some reason I always thought they were a late 90's band, but they've been around since early 80's. Weird.

[rezen1983]

FUCKEVERYTHING EVERYTHING GOES!!!! :P

[spicealley]

the sock monkey is blurred out probably due to copyright issue or something stupid like that

[Jmswlks]

What's blurred out on the bed? A dildo?

[Jmswlks]

CATFIGHT!

[L0K3]

ARE THEY SINGING ABOUT WMG? HA there used to be a really bitchin' fan video for this, before the WMG nazis wielded their ban hammer

[alex99fever]

i really love that guitar but the lyrics eh

[CooLDsteR]

2:44 freeze - hot

[nataliekw]

VH1 should put this on Pop-Up Video. I have so many questions.

[Scum8ag]

[aradacar]

[redmoon117]

Possibly Dil To OO

[redmoon117]

[matiastreet]

[MrIneedalogin]

[420allyear]

@MrIneedalogin I always assumed it was a dildo.

[falkenhayn98]

[c4stoners]

[spoolfork]

Embedding disabled by request?  I HATE YOU BITCHE$!

[AnonymoussourceL0L]

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that the blurred object in that girls room is a dildo.

[spoolfork]

@AnonymoussourceL0L I sure hope it is a dildo, otherwise, that would be a perfectly good girl-on-girl pillow fight put to waste!

[SCPH7503]

@AnonymoussourceL0L Good sir, that is actually a sock monkey.

[falkenhayn98]

saw this live at XCEL in St. Paul.

changed my life.

[saganemc2]

@falkenhayn98 i love people that allow music to change them, and respect those who admit it immensely. never loose that.

[Osric13th]

@saganemc2 you are correct. when you stop listening to new music ....part of your openness dies. you get old.

[gunsandmoses69]

It stands for: The Will Always Negates Defeat

[georgesorosisgay1]

fucking hate comercials!!!

[adamjhayter]

Well it starts off a little weird... then some bouncy balls arrive and girls started to wrestle in the their skivvies. Things turn out just fine. Thanks to all involved.

~The Nick & The Joe~

[convict205550]

What does W.A.N.D. stand for?

[JacobTefft]

Wait.... What was blurred out on the bed?

[TheStalkingShadow]

@JacobTefft The magic light baton, magic stick thinge duh

[blackmath8]

YES

[dmBearcat]

2:44 and onward... I can die a happy man now.

[pjtrain]

is it just me, or is he a cross between Billy Connolly and Robert Downey Jr?

[420dopethrone]

@pjtrain

idunno about connolly but he always reminded me of robert downey jr

[pjtrain]

@420dopethrone dude, its not the features. but the hair and the beard are pretty billy connolly. but yeah, he got features like Downey Jr. (he hides his looks behind beard and sruffy hair haha)

[hamdelsun]

@pjtrain

he's just dreamy....to me;)...yeah can definitely see the Downey Connection....i see also a hint of Marc Bolan sorta showmanship/presentation....i always think of the `I've got stars in my beard, and feelin' real weird...' when i see Wayne....

[niarkniark1]

They delete the BEST MOTHERFUCKERS In the story of Music in Humanity, you fkn bunch of motherfucks

[aaronrocks87]

MOTHER FUCKER!

[HowAmIAPotato]

MOTHERFUCKING CENSOR MOTHERFUCK YOUR MOTHER YOU FUCKING MOTHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[OnyxSturm]

I've been searching for this song for years......wish Dell would put the song name in bold print on the bottom of their commercials.

[TwistedRaptor1]

FUCK WMG AND THEIR CENSORING!!!

[DeathInducerInc]

Why does everyone but wayne in the band have a stupid 70s jacket?

[MicMunk21]

@DeathInducerInc Why in the hell would you think those jackets are from the 70's? If anything they're from the mid 90's or later.

[Biggie3057]

Remember this, kiddies...

The Will Always Negates Defeat.

[DeathInducerInc]

at 2:45-2:58 are they having sex or fighting?

[ianalexander92]

[Cutinrollout]

"I was just riffing!"

[AllisonTowers]

THE WILL ALWAYS NEGATES DEFEAT

[atopcat73]

For the 6 mofos that didn't like this video: Now how in the frecking world can you not like something like this!?

[03vmat]

The girls are (were) roller derby girls form Austin TXRD league. "Lux" is the blonde and "Venus Envy" is the brunette. Met both of them at a bout in 2006 and their league inspired us to start our league that same year. Both really cool chicks. Very fun video.. ;)

[whooshyoumissedme]

This song is painfully underrated.

[ThePoorhillbilly]

This is song is so Awesome!

[IrelevantLives4U]

At 2:46 you can actually see her pussy lips.

[lungkusher]

6 people hate music.

[vexienroe]

1:51 she slams her face into that end table.... ouch!

[jlogue88]

another song subliminally about vibrators is A/B machines by Sleigh Bells

[FSquid]

How many people knew this was a girl power song about vibrators and taking your own sexuality into your own hands? (literally and figuratively)

[scaredsoldier]

@FSquid i noticed it not to long ago



[scaredsoldier]

i finally know what the song is about

[scaredsoldier]

i finally know what the song isabout

[arouska]

The phrase they deleted was "mother fuckers." "Mother fuckers" is the phrased that was deleted. Once again, "mother fuckers." That is all, mother fuckers.

[vonhollen39]

@arouska Hey! Its like you are making the point that I am allowed read mother fuckers on you tube all day long, but youtube wont let us hear the word mother fuckers...........god damn mother fuckers. Why dey fuck with my shit?

[pretentiouspigeon]

@arouska We've got the power now MOTHER-FUCKERS!!!

[Harris91]

DAT RIFF

[Parky8888]

i love cock

[SPLITFTW]

What's on the bed that got blurred out. I hope that's anal lube.

[TheRunehelp]

@SPLITFTW lol It's just a sock monkey

[SPLITFTW]

@TheRunehelp Ok... No lube!! (ok, no cream)

[rockonscott]

roller blading to the music

[FlipJick]

Is this a wwhite science wwand or a black magic wand?

[jlmpeace27]

weve got the power now

[aff4t]

Looks like the girl from the "Office."

[manbearpig937]

is this song about a dildo?

[FlyMontag]

@manbearpig937 dude, this could totally be about a dildo

[RockFreelerFilms]

The parts with the band was shot at Producers Playhouse in Edmond,OK. The company moved to a bigger better studio in 2009 and found tons of the bouncy balls hidden throughout the old studio.

[clavmoth]

...I like videos involving sexy stuff :D

[DoaMikoi]

pause at 2:51 =]



[lurch321]

It'd be awesome if while the Lips were doing this one in concert, a bunch of multicolored rubber balls fell from the ceiling onto the audience! (But I guess that could be an injury hazard....................)

[ElmosKnife]

@lurch321 They do drop a literal ton of bouncy balls on the audience though.......

[lurch321]

@ElmosKnife The same size as in the video? Or are they beachball-size?

[ElmosKnife]

@lurch321 About that size, its pretty amazing, you can keep 1 or 2, then sell the rest you pick up, on Ebay, for like 25$ each.

[TheAxlrose103]

@lurch321 They shot glow sticks into the crowd at bonnaroo in 2010

[iluvira]

FUCK ADVERTISEMENTS

[Hoggles49]

What is silly Wayne doing with a bass

[samedayhandyman1]

over the hill...can't cut it anymore?? .why not have some girls having a pillow fight...yeah man..cool..so past their best it's not funny

[dreekd80]

this video gives me a hard-on. those chics having it out with the pillows all over that room is just plain freaky hot!

[shellbellmel]

the censor isnt a dildo.... its a sock monkey, you can see it

[downrodeo2112]

Is it me or is this one of the greatest songs ever.

[Stokemeaclipperbro]

I sort of feel like I never really started "enjoying" music until I found the Flips.

[setpunk12]

The Flaming LIps sure do love them cute girls

[Ralokone]

i like everything about this song, except for one thing.

the obligatory shout of MOTHERFUCKER (not included in this version appearently)

they seemingly only included it to be edgy or cool

that logic is not healthy, something is either cool or not cool on its own, something about it should tell you that

you cannot just glue together a whole bunch of stuff that is cool and hope it equals cools (transformers movies)

however, here it was just like they glued it on as an after thought, so its ok

[Endexter]

What does W.A.N.D. stand for?

[pforce33]

@Endexter will always negates defeat

[Noodless121]

@Endexter The Will Always Negates Defeat.

[Endexter]

ive been searching for where the guitar riff was from for ages. btw, what is that random blurred out area?

[ausernamenonewants]

@Endexter Its just a stuffed monkey, joke by the band

[Microglia1]

These girls have too much adipocytes in their buttocks.

[GirlSkateboardSkater]

that blonde chick is so fucking fine.

[thetrueawesemokenzie]

omg that blonde girls ass :D

[SuperAfterforever]

I saw this band in Pittsburgh in August at station square. It was first time I saw them,and they put on a way better show then I thought they would.

[OnlyALetter]

@SuperAfterforever Than. You meant than.

[srslynerdface]

@SuperAfterforever It was truly the best concert I'd ever been to. Especially Wayne's fascination with our train. :)

[Clichefanbase]

i saw these guys on jools holland was such a great performance!

[MrRundmc100]

hit her with the censored thing!

[L0K3]

once upon a time there used to be such a cool video made for this buy some fan here on yt. WMG nazis mussa scared him into deleting it. Fuck WMG and the lips for selling out to the monster. Wayne coyle you head is needed on a spike

[youtubular40]

@L0K3 I don't think wmg needs the permission of the artist because they own the song.

[SuperWestSider]

2:46

[jarannalli]

wait... is that the donut chick?

[clockwork130]

Censor was a dildo

[insanedrummer6191]

this song was played in a dell commercial.thumbs up if you heard this in the commercial.

[mrlucky777]

@insanedrummer6191 this was used in a commericial during last year's super bowl.

[SCPH7503]

The censored thing on the bed?

I saw the original video. It's a sock monkey. :|

[comradsausage23]

This video really makes no sense to me

[rahbot3500]

damn .. wayne coyne makes playing a bass look good.

[AtemsShinobi]

I want ALL of those bouncy balls!

[camycamo4]

If the Beatles wrote this song in the 1960's it would be considered a timeless classic now. Vastly underrated song.  One of the best riffs of all time!

[Rodster001]

@camycamo4 Agreed and when they do it live it's quite a thing to behold.

[Stokemeaclipperbro]

@camycamo4

What would you rate it on the Riffter scale? 1-10

[andrew2372]

@camycamo4 so far from one of the greatest riffs ever.

[Remembermylai]

@andrew2372

So far from one of the greatest trolls ever.

[GTichris70]

@camycamo4 the riff was lifted from a chicago song from the late 70's "little miss lovin" it was a timeless classic....from30 yrs ago. see for yourself it is EXACTLY the same.

[lubeduphorsecock]

@GTichris70 Your right, its pretty damn close. They must have barely gotten around copyrights.

[guitarshapedjuicebox]

@GTichris70 Similar? yes. Exactly? no way.

[fivefingersalute]

0:09 total pedo face

[Kslayer9]

watch the head of Wayne's bass, sometimes there's a ball stuck on it and sometimes there's not. :)

[zacherish1]

this song should have been more famous than it actually was...



[mmoneyitswhereitsat]

are they trying to make itt seem like those girls fighting are sexy? because they failed..those girls are uglyyy

[TheAlleycat6]

pause at 2:46 totally worth it.

[tom2197]

@TheAlleycat6 yes m8

[ellabobella808]

@TheAlleycat6 thanks. im horny now.

[petercrissisamazing]

@TheAlleycat6 pause at 2:51 even better

[stevenjsmith1903]

@TheAlleycat6 thank u it was totally worth it

[PeaceLoveWomen]

@TheAlleycat6 whats there?

[stoprejectingmynames]

I'm gonna go buy a W.A.N.D.

[leviisglam]

5 words Schmusic

[sirmixanotthatmuch]

[1111Stick]

haha this isnt so bad :D

[FreewheelinLibertine]

is the keyboardist supposed to look like Liam Gallagher?

[rocknrollgirlxo]

@FreewheelinLibertine no? haha, liam is way more hott

[Penguin619]

@rocknrollgirlxo pfft no, Drozd is way more hotter.

[mrlucky777]

quite possibly the greatest video ever!

[greanapple98]

she's like bitch bend over

[MTVrocks]

I know it sounds strange but the blurred out thing is a sock monkey

[MrWolfization]

CAT FIGHT!!!!!



[1994AlmostSkater]

@MrWolfization = mega boner!

[xjackass420x]

the vocal melody kinda reminds me of Neil Young getting slapped in the face with a fuzz-box.

[captainclayman]

i think the censored thing was probably a dildo

[siouxsienova]

One of my favorite videos ever!!

[farrantclose]

Amazing. Like if the Beatles had done Something in 2009.

[wacobites]

Fuck Censorship.

[JHalpert84]

I think it's a monkey doll

[borntoloop]

@JHalpert84 this song is as heavily psychedelic as ANYTHING you can listen to it....I was a bit pissed off at the motherfuckers blanking as well....a heavy song. Brilliant....take Mkat and listen to it....borntoloop

[fatherofmy5]

They muted "Mother fuckers". That fucking sucks! Love this song!!!!!!!!
