You just gotta love the huge smile on Waynes face the whole time. It's like he is trying to hold back laughter because he thinks his own lyrics are so funny.
Nobody talks about this side of the Lips anymore. They were a bulldozer of loud and noisy rock music. I saw them 4 times right before and during this era and it was like watching Led Zeppelin tear the stage apart. I never saw anybody hit the drums as hard as Steve, before or since.
Not even one of my favorite Flaming Lips songs, but this video is my favorite Lips video on youtube. Drozd's drumming is fucking epic. Watching Paul jam with them is funny as hell too.
This band makes me even more proud to be an Okie. We used to just have Hanson, Garth Brooks, and a bunch of other shitty music...Thank god for the Flaming Lips. I can't wait to see them here in Tulsa with PRIMUS in August! That show is gonna blow my mind!!!
@dnon75 What? That's fucking terrible. I thought he kicked the habit. Well, he did in the documentary about the flaming lips. Hope he doesn't bite it.
@watashiwanachodes He was born 1/13/61. So he's 50 now. He was probably 34 when he performed this particular song. And he looks young here. So he hasn't aged too bad.
Without even looking at the highest comments, I said to myself, "Damn, Paul Shafer is turning into a Fearless Freak!" and "Man, I'm straight, but Wayne Coyne is totally adorable" and lo and behold, the comments expressed those exact sentiments.
Just one song of millions written while high.
