Flipper - Sex Bomb

[lester5192]

Fuck flippet

[rightarmofwyoming]

My band Bomb's first ever gig, in 1986, was opening for Flipper. July 4th at The Farm in San Francisco. Good times, good times.

[alvo69]

Those horns are SO punk!! WRTC Trinty College in Hartford CT used to blast the sheit outta this, and thus, my ears. I may have seen them at The LIT Club in Hartford, I think so, but I can't remember.... what... a... surprise.... :P

[pecalifornication]

Real Music !

[Tycho114]

WPRB in Princeton used to play this all the time in 1980-81. Or maybe it just felt like it was all the time. In any case, it was always fun to hear it come on.

[AlmightyScubba]

If I was really drunk, this would probably make me puke. I LOVE FLIPPER

[pinkbbbratt]

don't kid urselves nirvana's better...

[fruitbatrepublic]

@pinkbbbratt ech fuck you

[MrPantera09]

i could meditate to this

[75xaya]

@SciPunk215 What did Cobain say about Flipper? also I don't think you should compare an experimental noise punk band to one of the an alternative rock/pop grunge band. Obviously they both have something to say and although I agree that this is better than Smells Like Teen Spirit, Nirvana has lots of songs (mostly on In Utero) that are just as good as this and speak to you in an un superficial or cliched way. Just because you listen

noisecore doesn't mean Nirvanas vapid cookie-cutter pop.

[robertalowry]

...i fuckin love this vid...thank you

[robertalowry]

We wuzz there...thank you...just fuckin brilliant....where are all the Joe Target videos? any clue......it all happened on South Van Ness SF ...damage mag etc ..once upon a time

[sparksguitar]

@SciPunk215 Nirvana > Flipper

[Cardelaneous]

Saw Flipper c. 1985. They were the loudest band I ever saw -- my ears rang for a week. There was so much force coming from the wall of speakers that when you walked within 10 feet of them, you'd lose your equilibrium. We spent most of the show walking toward the speakers, losing equilibrium, falling down, getting back up and doing it again. What a night!

[salvadorjr1]

i stripped to this 4 my grrl Ahh ahh ahh!!!!

[nullnaught]

loved it then, love it now



[IceCrotch]

OMG, I love Flipper so much. I played this so much that my ex banned it from his house (He couldn't stand it).

[viejasenculo]

whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa 

[merocket]

@SciPunk215 I enjoy Flipper, but the fact that you think they are "better" than Nirvana is pretty hilarious.

[inhmn]

the best video in the tube !

[paeganmushroom]

YOU ARE A SEX BOMB BABY YEAH

[zalenfrisco]

the Tulpa version of sex bomb sounds better

[crashbreakerr]

@SciPunk215 Flipper > Nirvana?? Never... Nirvana was one of the best bands of all time, flipper is good, but is not even close of what Nirvana was.

[itzlegit119]

SEX BOMB BABY YEEEAAAAAH



[RadioSchizoPunk]

1 person does not like spinning fish.

[expoonation]

@RadioSchizoPunk

Doh!

[salvadorjr1]

@expoonation SHE'S A SEX BOMB MAMA YEAH!!!!

[DaemonicNimrod]

Not quite my cup of coffee, but fuck it I gave it a thumbs up anyway just for the raw energy

[SapphireSkies1976]

I'm shaking this song is brilliant

[jesikaxx]

stop moving omg

[MichaelHansenFUN]

sorry i am a little mixed up

[MichaelHansenFUN]

flipper was one of nirvanas inspirations

they wore flipper t shirts on snl

or was that melvins

because the melvins covered flipper on a small record

[MichaelHansenFUN]

@SciPunk215 you are so right-kaznowski. people are so ignorant, but there friends...

[Nirvanalover4ever]

I do love flipper, but I do love Nirvana more. I found Flipper before I knew Nirvana. So shhhhh!

[b0gster]

I love this because it's so god damn freaky. Just listen to him go!

[fucksalt97]

@msmoustache80 I loove Nirvana but i'm glad to say i found this band completly on my own. :D

[zsantschi]

back to the Nirvana/Flipper conversation... I noticed nobody said anything about Kurt wearing a Flipper shirt in a picture in the liner notes from Nevermind. Also... I didn't look really far to see if anyone did already say that.

[LongviewGD182]

@msmoustache80 You were great up until the last sentance. What IS a good way to discover bands? If Kurt Cobain is not enough than i dunno what is. Stop acting hardcore. Nirvana was a great band, who cares if they got HUGE

[ThatHistoryGuy]

I hear this song and I want to divorce my wife!

[TheMrAwesomeDx]

@SciPunk215 Lol? Flipper > Nirvana? Thats retard.

[themdamnwheaties]

@SciPunk215 But Nirvana wasn't that overproduced. Look up Fecal Matter (Kurt's pre-Nirvana band). It's pretty raw shit. But, of course, I cannot deny how badass this masterpiece is.

[grungymole]

@SciPunk215 Poop

[tomzorak]

When they played this song as background music, on network TV, for the last Winter Olympics Games, it just made me say ha ha ha ha ho ho ho ho.

[deborahsuewho]

I'm interested in what Kurt Cobain liked cuz I liked Curt Cobain. Have a listen to The Shaggs. They're there for you too. Def. not over-produced. Try 'Philosphy of the World'. Let me know if you understand it.

[101niceperson]

@msmoustache80 what is the connection between flipper and nirvana?

[jessienorton123]

@101niceperson hey nice person. there are a couple of connections between the bands. nirvana bassist,kris novoselic, has recorded and toured with flipper (since 1999 or so). flipper did a version of "breed" on the nirvana tribute album. curt cobain also listed flipper as one of his favorite bands.

[themad865]

definitely NIRVANA>flipper, even though Flipper, Scratch Acid, Butthole Surfers are the base of Nirvana's music. I respect all, just saying.

I have read come as you are: the story of nirvana and watched american hardcore documentary.

[TheMercuryEmperor]

Cheese

[stuhelm33]

Best video ever.

[95sushiii]

Umm scipunk215 i agree that Flipper rocks but do you have to lump it together with Nirvana? Both bands are awesome in their own way so theres no nead to criticise Nirvana just because they got more publicity. They all had their own style and just because they were major influences on each other doesnt mean that they are the same kind of music. RIP Kurt Cobain!!!

[FuttBucker667]

This sounds like something off FunHouse. Gotta love Flipper.

[JasonBNYC]

@FuttBucker667 I was JUST saying that . . . reminds me of the song Funhouse.

[BagpipeHustler]

well who gives a shit about kurt when it comes to just listening to flipper? i say bless kurt anyway for having such a great fucking taste, he's fucking admirable for loving these guys...

[Bassplyr11]

Man, I really wish my computer wasnt as gay as paul so i could watch this video, i bet theyre good too. Ah well, ill never know. ahah

PAUL

[jamesandrew2000]

A college radio station would play this back in the 80s and I would crank it up at the stupid T-shirt shop where I worked. It sounds even better distorted through muzac speakers. One day the boss came out and was yelling "Turn that fuckin shit down!" I was folding shirts and couldn't hear him. He turned it down but was still shrieking at me like a crazy person and I started to laugh at him. I was 18, so punk rock and so fired. Flipper, Pop O Pies, Fang...etc.

[BagpipeHustler]

great great great great great great great band.

this studio version with the sax & other elements, i bet john lennon could've wrote this song...

[rockforchumps]

Kurt* Cobain. They spelled it Kurdt Kobain on the back of bleach just to make it different, and give it "mystique". It's really Kurt though.

(Anyone confused, I'm referring to the description)

[PoisonedTears]

I also read (in an introduction to one of his diaries) that KurDt might be a joke referring to Kurds.

[crazynails17]

@rockforchumps kurdt the d stands for donald which would be his middle name.... and was a nickname

[crowbarftw]

Flipper and Anal Cunt are the greatest rock'n'roll bands of all time.

[artigper1]

Lol rock'n'roll???

[reachrevolver]

is this a great song or the greatest song?

[ButchPansy]

I saw them open for the Sex Pistols last show and again last month, after 30+ years. XLNT!!!

[KirbiesandYoshies]

Crazy songs like this are the best.

[SimplyShadow]

saxy sassy saxophone.

[UnicornFlavors]

Saxin' my phone.

[inquiry7]

I also loved their bread/panel type truck with the fish on the side and grafitti...Cal. plates in East Village NYC.

[inquiry7]

I've seen Flipper play this song until everyone had to dance or leave. No one got to sit and watch like a lazy ass. They said they would continue playing the song without stopping until everyone was up dancing,

[candyjunkie101]

this makes me proud to wear a home made flipper shirt.

[UnicornFlavors]

Haha, i have a huge flipper logo on the back of my leather jacket.

[RHutton2710]

Exactly. If only US politicians would ditch the flag pin badges and wear Flipper shirts. 'Sex bomb' could become the new national anthem.

[AnarchyintheUKZ]

SEX BOMB!!! this song changed lives from my opinion, Rock on

[tojoconfused]

10minutes is 10minutes too short - pfunktastic orgasmic cacophony (sp)

[dippindanny]

How are you gonna call any piece of music "GARBAGE"? Doesn't really matter if you think its garbage. When you write some "garbage" songs post em and send em to me and let the world judge if your talent is garbage or amazing.

[Moonman540]

Sex Bomb Baby! YEAH!

Amazing song!

I read that they`d have literally half of the audience on stage for this one.

[777v666]

Yeah which was about 10 people? Man I love this band, gotta see em.

[HippyRockChocChick]

Wow. This is the first time ive listened to this band because i've seen pics of Kurt Cobain wearing flipper t-shirts and i thought Kurt wore these t-shirts cause he wants peeps to check out these bands, so i listened to them...... They're Awesome!!! XP

[finspitzdad]

Many of the versions of this on here are newer concert versions, this one is the real deal. Generic Flipper is one of the best punk albums ever recorded.

[flachi32]

Go Flipper!
