The Flaming Lips - The W.A.N.D. (Live on Jools Holland)

[revolutionday1]

I saw them do this number in Bloomington, Indiana at the IU Auditorium and didn't know what it was called, so I'm glad I stumbled across this clip, because the song KILLS! If anybody out there knows the link to the performance I mentioned, or would post it for me, I'd be forever grateful!

[Silverfucked]

he didn't say mother fuckers... IM PISSED! >:O

[xLordOfTheFliesx]

@Silverfucked

I know, right. I wanted him too as well.

[cerisskies]

How'd he get the suit on?

[PimpBrovasTV]

What I would give to high five those hands...

[1325ACO]

@PimpBrovasTV I got to high-five them this past May when I watched the Flaming Lips in Nelsonville, OH. I was in the front row, dead-center and I high five'd the hands as the laser crew carried them away. Wayne had just completed his "laser hands" segment of the show.

[CerpinTaxt1983]

Love the vocals in this tune.

[nollieflip1997]

I really like santa clause at 1:19

[sabaroth666]

go to work, send your kids to school

follow fashion, act normal

walk on the pavements, watch T.V.

save for your old age, obey the law

Repeat after me: I am free

[RCTPatriot75]

@sabaroth666

Just because you don't do any of that doesn't mean you're more free.

[TheNadster2]

@sabaroth666 I am free, bacon and eggs party wooooooo

[Hoggles49]

*insert sexual innuendo about Wanye's big hands*

[apagalatele1]

Y mañana .....

[apagalatele1]

Y mañana....

[MutantCheeseburger]

Psychedelic to tha mothafuckin' MAX!

[legoackbar]

THOUGHS ARE FAKE HANDS!!!

[imamymay]

@legoackbar those are so

[highfidelityno7]

see kids ...this is why your supposed to wear gloves when handling poison ivy!

[henryckicke]

Somebody knows about the hands???? is a great song that incrube you behaviour!!!! jajajaja

[LivingMy9Lives]

The vocals aren't so good but they make up for it in showmanship.

[mouthbreather1]

@LivingMy9Lives I think they're one of the few bands that can get away with less-than-great vocals. I've always thought Wayne's voice really suited their music, and wouldn't work quite as well if they had a "good" vocalist.

[MrPaulask8]

AMO esta cancioon!!

[popgunparadise]

poor wayne! his hands r HUGE!!!

[Gnasher2100]

If You aint seen this band live you aint lived,saw them in a park in my home town of Glasgow scotland dusk was falling and lasers shooting through the trees ......these bpys put on a show and a half they are the dogs bollox live :)

[brahms909]

santa just chillin .. holland in disguise

[SuperSpareChange]

I HOPE HE DOESNT FIST ME!!!:(

[Kingma1997]

@SuperSpareChange Dude, it's fucking Wayne Coyne.

[SuperSpareChange]

alright the keyboard player ruins the song because he sounds like a diflating balloon

[TPCPHAC]

@SuperSpareChange If you knew anything about the flaming lips you would know the keyboard player is actually an amazing musician and him and Wayne both help write the songs. How about you learn something about them before you start trash talking them.

[docripoff19]

If this doesn't prove that Wayne Coyne is a badass, then I don't know what does...

[1103174]

the lips havent gotten the respect they deserve but after bonaroo 10 i think they will do better in the US cause they put on 1 hell of a show!!!!!!!!!!

[Mikemaniax]

They're drummer's look kinda reminds me of the way Robert Wyatt looked back in the early days of the Soft Machine.

[jonterhaar]

@Mikemaniax

Just a foot or so taller!

[Mikemaniax]

@jonterhaar Yeah, you're right. Wyatt is a short guy isn't he?

[jonterhaar]

@Mikemaniax Yeah according to a song on Soft Machine I, he sings "I'm nearly 5 foot 7 tall..."

[r0ws]

una abrazo con enormes manoooss!=)

[sydfan526]

...elephantitis...

[welshexile]

It's Jose Mourinho with big hair-man that guy is talented!!

[robcollins8D]

I've been to three Flaming Lips shows, and they are the best live band in the entire world.

[madpierrot92]

@robcollins8D I saw the first a couple months ago. I'm dying for them to come back to town.

[maxscar18]

The back-up singer sucks, like someone is squeezing his nuts.

[ThePoorhillbilly]

surely he sounds awesome

[ybrik222]

@maxscar18

Lol.

[finylvinyl66]

@maxscar18 His name is Steven Drodz and he is a fantastic

musician.

[spicyMcHAGGIS9green]

I. Fucking. Love. Wayne. Coyne.

[TheRepublicOfJohn]

wow, wayne really does sound bad in this one...i'm not sure that's a bad or unexpected part of the show, though...

[laffingman21]

ahahah the santas, just chillin

[loupremo]

band sounds great. lead singer sounds drunk

[brock786]

you know what they say about guys with big hands...

[rynox77]

That's very Dali-ish.

[jwilliamsproductions]

lol 2:48 . "Quick! Get back to the microphone"

[FakeFlourescentSkies]

its like every show is a friggin acid trip with these guys, i can't find one normal live performance

[yutuubfreak]

i love stevens backing vocals in this!

[BRADANDKALEB]

everyone needs to stop commenting "cairo foster"

he put it with his skateboard part he didnt write the music or make it

[happyfoxproductions]

@BRADANDKALEB his skate part made this song important

[bleugh07]

where can i get me some of those

[Rockzilla88]

it's a shame Wayne can't sing live 9 times out of 10 - the spectacle more than makes up for it though!

[tonymontana1974]

He looks like brother lee love in this

[mc2927]

trip rock at its best

[thedarkphire33]

Man! He sounds like shit in this one! And what's withe the huge ass hands?

[PirateEjaculate]

[andersersand]

@hobbit151

[lurch321]

3 concerts I MUST see before I leave this earth: The Lips, The Chemical Brothers, and The Polyphonic Spree. Any of those would be an AWESOME experience.

[miepdetruus]

@lurch321 and maybe some sonic youth?

[993009944]

@lurch321 seeing them in april in NJ  cant wait

[aenteralus]

[immortalizer08]

i like how the bassist is paying homage to entwistle.

[jumpinpizza]

Great song to jam to and skate too

[toolz6694]

[jumpinpizza]

Skateboarding. But good for hockey too haha

[toolz6694]

[guitarshredder32]

[KurtCobainSchool]

[304473108]

chan marshallǃ

[gstefani10101]

haha absolutely hilarious/awesome.

[lovestinks909]

this is such a famous song!

[RedRedWineMusic]

Much like orgasming.

[willdamo]

Those are FAKE HANDS!!!

[hamsarb]

no they are not... His hands are allergic to microphones... Bad stuff really...

[lovestinks909]

haha! YEAH TOTALLY!

[willdamo]

thats the irony of the joke you tool.get over yourself.

[gitbox36]

haha. you get it, why can't everyone else.

[davidgoesmoo]

NO! I REFUSE TO BELIEVE YOU!

[Sessel69]

I love you.

[ybrik222]

@willdamo

SHIT!

[markusleegore]

@willdamo you think so?

[austrailianpirate]

yes he did, even on the Dell commercial, it sounded like 3000000000000000 times better man. Okay, maybe not THAT much, lol... but you get my point bro.

[BalticAvenueFilms]

No this song was used for a HP commerical

[CobraJ3t]

Nope, it was for a Dell Inspiron commercial.

Google is available for fact checking before correcting people. :)

[austrailianpirate]

well, they kinda fell apart there, huh? I bet he's secretly saying 'glass of water, glass of water, glass of water'.

Wher'd his nice voice go I wonder?

[Booopper]

he never HAD a nice voice

[aznxtasy341]

the man is pushin 50 im just glad hes still gigging

[animal90sFreak5]

cool stuff,man i wonder why i didn't listen to them back in the day,from what I've heard they 've been a band for a long time,really cool stuff!

[Booopper]

they also changed a lot from where they were in '83

[finylvinyl66]

Adding a musician as good as Steven Drodz will change any band, and Wayne's learned to write great songs.

[schuess222]

actually, steven writes most of the musical arrangements and plays them himself in studio. wayne contributes awesome ideas and lyrics, though.

[SJ363]

What is it with this commericial stuff ? You would already know about this song if you like The Lips.

[chowardc]

where can i can a pair of those hands!!??

[MikeGnar513]

ebay

[godhamba]

If I was Obama's capmpaign manager, I would have had them played this after it was announced he one. As an audience member, I would have had the first (and possibly only) situationally-induced, non-physical orgasm ever

[birdiejoehoaks]

hahahahahahaha

epic win sir.

[fabbrunette]

ATP !! i can't wait! 9/13 - BE THERE !!

[lurch321]

Let's give Wayne a hand!

[howard22]

we got the power now

mother fuckers thats where it belongs

[cappstv]

THEY BEEP WORDS

[Bassmastajazzyj]

This song makes me feel like driving 5000 miles across the country, whilst taking ectasy and dropping acid with midgets.

[xxballinjedixx]

pure awesumness! XD

[godhamba]

Exactly. And just handing E out to everyone!

[Mcwes12]

the video kinda looks like that, too.

[Omnicia17]

^^ this

[thelategreats45]

You could almost get to the opposite coast and back in 5000 miles- although the drugs might lead you in a more circuitous route!

[Nogli]

@Bassmastajazzyj It's great fun. Well worth a try.

[dwoelflin07]

mlb2k8 LOL

[diddlybop]

like that scene from science of sleep

[pagoda112]

haha it is.i love that movie it was awesome

[burninator5000]

must have a giant cocknballs yes?

[tomahawk368]

MLB 2K8 anyone?

[ttttedttt]

yea me

[Prodigysportsman]

anyone else immediately thought of Gary Numan's "Cars"?

[Ollides]

That's the first thing I thought of

[birdiejoehoaks]

yeah, i am too.

its the guitar tone and the major key lick

but i like this more.

[oliver8bit]

It's so awesome that ten years after Zaireeka and they still get more and more surreal every time I see them!

[oliver8bit]

Thank God for the Flaming Lips. Weirding it up on the tv! Yeah!!

[comeonyo789]

Great song. Cairo Foster's part in fully flared

[marshamk]

he didnt say "motherfuckers" after "we got the power now"

DONT CENSOR ME, TV!!!

[rasmusgirlfree]

talent

[brd1223]

they are balloons, so they dont weigh TOO much...

[mikeyfatstrings]

he's just having fun with it.

[heavymetalrulz123]

I didn't know the name of this song before. It's different and I like it. I heard it playing on my baseball game on XBOX360.

[EBystrova]

No its not.............

[jonconant06]

im from oklahoma.... and i agree 100%

[jaustin917]

The best thing to come out of Oklahoma. Ever.

[SpiralOfWhite]

I love The Flaming Lips and was at the Zoo show they made into a dvd but they are clearly not the best thing to come out of this state. Woody Guthrie? Will Rogers?

[actmishart]

i love the big hands, its like in that movie -the science of sleep

[matthewwettig]

i loved this song in his part

[rodneymuirhead14]

ye it suits his style

[EBystrova]

this isn't the one on the dell commercial?

[Timbo12888]

Sure is.

[finylvinyl66]

It was definitely used on some commercial, because the first time I heard the full recording I recognized it right away.

[loudspeaker003]

it was used in a windows insperon commercial.

[johnjhuff]

Steven told me that this song was a response to Dungen's Ta Det Lugnt. Check it out. It's awesome. LIPS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Recording a new album right now, CAN'T WAIT ! Heard it's really weird and psychedelic, (duh).

[roahboah]

Steven is the brain of this outfit. Dude's amazing.

[finylvinyl66]

Actually Wayne Coyne is the heart, soul and brain of the Lips but Steven is clearly the best musician. When he joined the band, it took them up several levels.

[jwilliamsproductions]

it was this song performed live that got me into the Flips. It was on London Live done in a set with Free Radicles. I bought Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots the following day and I have been hooked ever since (I got At War With The Mystics a week after cause I heard Yoshimi was better)

[CanOfMinus]

"We got the power now, MOTHERFUCKERS! It's where it belongs!"

[audioslavevictim]

Hey, doesn't anyone realize he has GIGANTIC HANDS!
