The Flaming Lips - Watching The Planets (2009)

[redshaftedflicker]

They outlipped themselves--I'm putting on ...In a Priest Driven Ambulance NOW>

[panman92]

will I get thumbs down if I say the sound quality sucks for this video?

[adrianlindsaylohan]

@panman92 This is the actual sound quality. It's been distorted. I believe.

[hecskatestrat]

oh oh oh!!!! WATCHING THE PLANETS!!! SUCH AN AMAZING SONG!

[hecskatestrat]

oh oh oh!!!! WATCHING THE PLANETS!!!

[Giordie666]

reminds me of Marylin Manson...

[111anjesh]

can you plz suggest me the best songs of the Flaming lips??

[Bartolomeus9]

@111anjesh Well, I'd say: for instant-classic starters: 'The Yeah Yeah Yeah Song', 'Yoshimi Battles The Robot Part 1' and 'Feeling Yourself Disintegrate'. Of course all three albums they come from are also worth investing in as a whole :-). And 'She Don't Use Jelly' is a nice, fun song. And definitely: see them live when you have any chance. The atmosphere at their concerts in untranslatable.

[bomberman326]

@111anjesh Jesus Shooting Heroin is One of my favourite one of the old 80's songs :D

[JeffreyViper]

@111anjesh Moth in The Incubator, Do Your Realize??, Mr. Almbulance Driver, Godzilla flick.

[pianomonster68]

OH MY GOD. THIS SONG. ITS, SO SIMPLE. BUT SO COMPLEX.

MY MIND HAS JUST EXPLODED.

SWEET JESUS.

[gordokc77]

I LOVE THIS FUCKING SONG!

[dancecamerondance123]

The way I see Embryonic is like the way I see dark side of the moon. It is a dark, trippy, and insightful journey into the universe with beautiful melodies and ground breaking concepts. If this album would have come out in 1973, it would have gotten the full respect that it deserves.

[alliant]

@dancecamerondance123

my thoughts exactly man. I feel like this is their most solid release, a journey through all realms.

[MrTonytwofingers]

Thee oh sees- visit coloniel

[Neotropic2012]

The best flaming lips song ever!

[Dymamyd]

Better than pie.

[nomania]

People who like this should also consider listening to "Planet Caravan" by Black Sabbath or Pantera's cover of the song..

[adrianlindsaylohan]

Dreamy... Takes me into another world.

[ihnihn123]

we have 6 bring me the horizon and asking alexandria fans

[ChocolateGagaMonster]

@ihnihn123 hey i love bring me the horizon and asking alexandria but i'm one of the likers! and i love this song, D:< don't hate bro lol

[shotbaby]

this video was added on my birthday

WHICH makes this song extra greattt. :)

oh oh ohhhh (8) (L) !

[ActiveStorage]

what a bunch of silly over-reactive emotionally unstable people you are xD

[langers37]

virgo self esteem broadcast just builds up all this tension feeling and then this song bursts in with that huge drum beat and hell, it gets me every fuckin time...

what a great album it is

[soulskater100]

flow trash

[qotsaNIN]

A mess of noise, frustration, darkness made into a delightful song. Best song on album, drums at the end get me everytime. If you cant enjoy this, then you arent worthy to appreciate the flaming lips.

[iamlucaschilds]

@qotsaNIN I find your umbrella standard for appreciation insulting.

[RHCPKK]

They wanted to make the song loud enough for the planets to know they have to align.

[OctoberFest86]

I love this song + this album

[Pmonkeyxp52]

these songs are all about SCPs

most definetely

the latter half seems to be about SCP foundation

[adrianlindsaylohan]

what a wonderful song

[LurkinOnThis]

flow trash!

[sk8sk8sk824]

@LurkinOnThis that promos sooo tight dude

[awesomeness0192]

the lips are on fire.

[awesomeness0192]

fuck yes. flaming lips.

[Ky1e47]

@PublicCarnival Your opinion is incorrect, good sir.

[neilnorg]

@Ky1e47 at first i saw this and thought, opinions cant be true or false. there opinions. then i saw his comment. his opinion is false

[EronMac]

this song is awesome!

[nealiomccathio]

this track is heavy on vibe.

[SeanSeanSeanCanada]

epic beat drop

[mrsaganscosmos]

@PublicCarnival the fuck are you saying sorry for? your the one that doesnt get to enjoy this haha sorry

[qwertman45]

oh man it just hit me if these guys did something with karen o it would be orgasmic...

[feedbackhead]

@qwertman45 yeah its awesome that karen o is on at least 3 of the tracks on this album.

[zagyr]

@qwertman45 you're kidding, right?

[Ssaaarra]

So epic ;).

[KickerFlipp]

I have to agree this is a great song and what's more important it is catchy which is rare for experimental rock.

[magicmike323]

I hope this album begins a new era for the Flaming Lips like Soft Bulletin did a decade ago.

[eliottelescorielese]

The whole album is amazing, and so is the artwork!

[mewmewgoesthekitty]

@joemanses the vaginalistic bubble thing in the original video was about rebirth. I know people who were in the video. ha.

[radiotomi]

i can be a frog y otras canciones del disco quedan perfectamente alineadas con este tema.

[mfielitz]

the sound quality is SHIT!

[mybrainwhereisit]

Eternally grateful to you, Faith Is Annoyed!!!

[ASFiodor93]

masterpiece!

[grassvalleystudios]

Thumps up, if you agree God listens this song in his free time...

[zagyr]

@grassvalleystudios i'd thumbs up if i thought there was a god... i guess we'll find out in 2-90 years...

[Claudestclaire]

THIS SONG IS THE FUCKING TRUTH... and i love it and can't wait to rock out to it this april... it's sooooo raw

[joemanses]

what was with the giant vagina bubble? (in the vid), something about breaking down artificial bubble society has built around itself and reverting back to our original nature? I dunno.

[LovetteCher]

My first thought listening to this was "Holy hell, what the fuck." And now I'm addicted.

Shock and awe!

[factorniner]

Cool PaganMusic Lips, but this is how hippy pagan fascists "kill their ego" into the pony tail brigade . Flaming Lips are now rich fascists indulging in"killing their ego". Dumb rich fascists.

[cecilecancer]

I made this song the ring tone on my phone. But now I get nervous every time I hear it and continually look to see if someone is calling.

[brucelee6790]

lol i did the same thing to "in the morning of the magicians"

[hobbit151]

The Lips are one of a kind, they have no specific genre, they are the "FL" genre!

[brucelee6790]

alternative (as if that's specific)

[Amizzle]

word

[suikergeit]

does anyone know where i can find the video clip?

[imeatingabagel]

@suikergeit:  the full video is on NME. youtube wouldn't allow it because of the nudity. I was in it! enjoy :) x

[room473]

I love it.

[miepdetruus]

this = amazing stuff, i didn't know.. till now then..

[TheKatchja]

Thats a really good alternative rock band... Im glad i found it.

[ghostgirl62]

Top la chanson ! <3

[eliottelescorielese]

I'm ready

[Deathclaw24]

@Diabolikal98 1v1 no items?

[imjustagirl776]

Just about the whole album could be a groovy space ballad for an observatory or planetarium.

[mileytay2]

this is the best freaking song ive ever heard

[cards7509]

@mileytay2 this is nothing but ambient nose. how anyone could call this tallent is beyond me

[MassHero]

@cards7509 True. I don't know how anyone could call this "tallent" you fucking idiot. Take your perceptions elsewhere.

[cards7509]

@MassHero i'll take my perceptions where ever the fuck i want. now dont reply to my comment if it offends you, fucking douche.

wow so i put an extra (L) in talent? get a life u fucking trollllll. oh shit i spelled it wrong

[MassHero]

@cards7509 Who the hell is the troll here? The guy who comes to watch this video even though he doesn't like it and then bitch about it like an attention craving asshole? Or the guy who came to watch this video because he enjoys The Flaming Lips and then tells the bitchy asshole to leave? I'm going to guess the former.

[cards7509]

@MassHero well u are the troll. you replied to me, and i like to take a look around at different music i havent heard. i was in the middle of looking at like some STP videos and this was in the related videos.

now dont try to glorify yourself. and i left a comment stating what i thought about the song. i didnt attack you or any other flaming lip fan. so fuck off u stupif twat

[MassHero]

@cards7509 The way you commented on this video was in an arrogant manner. You acted like anyone who liked this song was dumb because it's just "ambient noise" and anyone who called this talent was probably dumb (you implied it). There is a way of going about commenting on a song that you don't particularly like in a nice way, and there is a way of doing so and being a prick. Read your comment over again and TRULY think about how it would sound to fans of this song.

[cards7509]

@MassHero honestly when i said "how anyone could call this talent is beyond me" i simply just ment that, i wasnt implying that u or any other fan is stupid or dumb. people can listen to whatever they want. It honestly just kinda makes me wonder how someone could just pop this in the cd player in there car and not find it annoying.

but like i said everyone has there own taste so whatever

[MassHero]

@cards7509 Whatever man, I don't even care anymore. Truce.

[cards7509]

@MassHero OJ :)

gruges are stupid anyway

[cards7509]

@MassHero lol "grudge"

[TheJordanLorentz]

@cards7509 your an idiot man, and thats that. Go listen to lady gaga and some justin bieber then dickballs.

[cards7509]

@TheJordanLorentz im a fucking idiot? lady gaga and justin bieber is not music.

and to me neither is this song or the band that plays it.

[retepatulp]

beautiful song. love karen o. in the background

[chinesechongo]

the video for this is insannneee! :D

[macaroni8cheese]

this so rocks!-does ne1 know if the video is out for this song yet?

[cornfused11]

There is a video out but it contains nudity, so it cannot be posted on youtube. I saw it once on another video site but cannot find it again. Happy searching MacnCheese

[macaroni8cheese]

thx cornfused11

i found it on NME i was one of the naked riders but there was a lot of us and it doesn't look like i'm in the video :(

i got to meet wayne though! hes such a creative guy! tons of charisma! very fun to talk to.

[ZolarFilms]

@macaroni8cheese The music video contains Alot of nutity if u want to see it search it up on google

[FreestyleBoy2010]

ok thats a weird picture

[Hogswoth]

RTFO

[standardyarn]

this song is fucking perfection.

[ezekieloak]

I keep thinking Tom Waits is going to start singing in this song with "Big In Japan."

But this is spectacular. I'm a big Flaming Lips fan. I will order this album now, I'm so excited.

They Have a New One Out!

[sydbarrett5]

I know what you mean about "Big in Japan". Similar vibe! Good call!

[thwrte80]

That is one killer tribal beat. I feel like I should get on my knees and worship it.

[malleymyster]

who's the royal a-hole who removed the conan o'brien preformance from youtube?

[TheJohnnyDanger]

That's what I'd like to know too!

[thepain353]

People are really put off by this song...

I don't see why...

It really is a incredible piece of music.

[xXspecialopsXx]

ARE YOU DEAF@$%^!@#$!

[ctizoll]

this song sounds amzing with some good earphones on. woweee.

[FaithIsAnnoyed]

Ahhhh c'mon people, this is a great song.

The album should really be played as a whole...it's a messy, dark and brilliant record. This song is the perfect closer, it's not supossed to sound pleasing to the ear...yet it is.

[TheJordanLorentz]

@FaithIsAnnoyed The one day i just got really high opened up my cd case and read all of the lyrics to the album and then listened to it. Its so much more in depth than people might think, more than i did at least. its crazy.

[stickman225]

@FaithIsAnnoyed its just what my souls been needing

[Ashlemacq]

Thank christ there are still bands willing to do something a bit different and interesting.

It's amazing how many "Oh my god, this isn't bland as fuck, it's actually interesting HOW DARE THEY!!!" comments there are.

Keep it up Flaming Lips, we love you.

[tcmmonster]

Just because it is better than most music be produced does not make it good or listenable

[Yesitis808]

i think they were alot better live.

[firemcg21]

terrible song actually hard work to listen to it..... i thoughts songs were supposed to be enjoyable

[Leader1138]

CAN YOU DIG IT SUCKAS?

[IzKyD1331]

Their performance on Conan was amazing

[TacooGrill]

it was so epic! esecially with the gong player!!!

[robwithanr]

The Lips smashing trash can lids together is more interesting than the over-produced, generic, talentless garbage being pumped out by most of today's pop bands.

[WonDeShawn]

someone could listen to it cause it's fucking RAD mang. trash can lids smashing together is better than almost all music created now-a-days.

[pxr58b]

how could anyone listen to this it sounds like smashing trash can lids in my ears.

[zagyr]

@pxr58b its how is supposed to sound! it's not meant to be pretty. it's meant to make you feel a certain way. oppressed, buried under a wave of sound. and it works perfectly. chills man, i swear. just surrender and float in the music. smoke a joint if you have to, but stop looking for what's pretty. pretty was old 12000 years ago.

[pxr58b]

@zagyr I will surrender to she dont use jelly, but this, cant do it no matter how high i am. Just not sure where there trying to go here.

[zagyr]

@pxr58b honestly, this took a new sense to me after trying salvia... that and i'm a musician, so i'm pretty interested in music that makes you feel things, as opposed to just being pleasant to the ears. just close your eyes and shut off your brain. but again, everyone's different

[pxr58b]

@zagyr I see, i suppose your right

[Slitx77]

cool song. I heard it being performed on Conan O Brien and Im totally diggin it.

[schwag998]

this whole album is badass

[starkmeister2]

gah this song is badass
