My dad would always play this song while taking me to preschool. I’m graduating high school this summer and I still remember this very well.
Ok zoomer
This song makes me emotional, it's so genuine, childish.. it has something magical that I can't explain. I don't understand why it has never been played
My absolute favorite Flaming Lips song from my favorite album of all time.
Hope Ronald is well. He had a real gift. His guitar playing and tone on Clouds is something special.
so true. underrated genius

This a song they could use in 'Sesame Street'. And I mean that as a compliment.

I remember going to the Oklahoma City Zoo myself when I was younger and seeing a giraffe stretching its neck in to eat hay out of the top story window of a three story barn! I thought that was pretty neat
i watch this video every week just to see that beautiful blocked jazzmaster
Same thing for me. But i did it only to watch that beautiful blonde...
@@vicolandtributes8607 those are a dime a dozen
Low key the best Lips album. Also shoutouts to Michael Ivins for the beautiful bassline and looking like Michael O'Donahue's coke dealer.

66 comments?? That is a travesty. What an overlooked gem.

First Time I took DMT I listened to this song. It was so beautiful.
Wonder what you felt
Possibly Ronald Jones' crowning achievement...check out their LIVE performances of this tune from this lineup/era...Ronald's contributions to ALL the songs from "Transmissions/Clouds" are insanely brilliant and, integral to the compositions but, this one is deceptively crazy good
his live performances of unconsciously screamin and moth in the incubator on heady nuggs are amazing.... especially his solo on the latter it's mind bending 😂
@@tomawsomeSaUCE there's a fairly brief live show from a NYC Sub Pop showcase during a music conference (CMJ?) from *I think* 1995 that The Lips got added to at the last minute where they have ZERO of the Xmas lights stage setup or, any other props. The camera is filming DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF RONALD JONES!!!
The quality is quite good for the time period too...even being directly in front of the waves of controlled feedback and sonics Ronald is manipulating...the heavenly craziness of his numerous pedals...etc...the sound of the video recording is never really overwhelmed and, overdriven to a squealing shitty mess.
It is a great set. I saw them quite often during the Ronald Jones era and, the fact that they were "forced" to rely on the music and, not on any "gimmicks" really works in their favour. Time is also an issue and, they just pound through their set without any real banter.
When I say "forced" I am not saying that the other bands and the venue were riding their asses to hurry up and finish...I just mean that the Sub Pop bands were very kind to make adjustments to their own setlists to accommodate the Lips and, the Lips were very appreciative and considerate of not fucking around and, screwing the other bands that had already sacrificed to accommodate them. Same with "gimmicks" being used...the Xmas tree lights tours were possibly the most amazing lightshow I've ever seen! The manner in which the band incorporated the Xmas lights and light wheels, etc, into their stage show and, the ebb and flow of their songs was brilliant. It was almost spiritual at various points of the set...along with the sonic gymnastics from Ronald and, Wayne's fragile voice...it hit you somewhere special
Gonna try to find that NYC set. I'll post a link here if I do
Cheers
Agree
@@pnguinkillr3091 When I spoke with Wayne at a Vancouver tour stop on the Clouds Taste Metallic tour...he told me that this song was pretty much 100% composed by Ronald.
He's also commented (around the time of the Minneapolis Clouds Anniversary performances) that this was one of the hardest songs to do justice to.
He also said that the band DID ask him if he would like to be a part of the reunion shows...he declined
I miss Ronald...
One of my all time favorites! 🙂

Of course Wayne and his mum find the coolest HUD home in all of OKC. Such a cool house. Great band. Good peeps.
And he still lives there to this day.... A true ROCKSTAR doing it for the right reasons and staying true to himself
On Warner Brothers dime?
Just realizing that Wayne looked quite a bit like Dweezil Zappa in this video. More on topic, however, is the fact that this song rules. It’s childlike and airy, but by no means twee, solely whinsical, filler fluff. That bassline makes that immediately clear. Great groove under this. Great song.
Hard to believe he graduated high school in the late 70s. He looked young for a really long time. He just recently started looking old
I love the You Made Me Realise poster
1:01 Timothée Chalamet as Paul Atreides.
ITS A GIRAFFE
Ladies and gentlemen the literally late ronald-jones

.. a great performer and helped give our boys the extra boost into growing this bands sound naturally and progrovesely... i wish i could of had better words to say for stephan as a true 92.95. Fan but was to drunk young and stupid making a fool out of myself.. this is the era of the lips that inspired the spark in me of being a true native handicapped fan and friend someday.?
P.s i wont scream at steven post 08 nye show backstage like seeing Michael jackson.. on tallboys..
I love all my okies..
ronald was in the band for like 5 years and he left when the band was at a low point. they've been a band without him for like 25 years now and are the most successful they've evet been critically and artistically
Miss good music videos of rockers doing normal stuff like going to the zoo.
it's sad that this only has roughly 2700 views. bring back the 90s lips.
54,000 now. getting up there!
Yes, it's disconcerting how the newer Flaming Lips albums are so disconcertingly dour and depressing but the 90's were a very long time ago, as long ago as the 60's were in 1990.
@@Firguy_the_Foot_Fetishist sure, but it's still their best stuff in my opinion and they don't have to act like their back catalog doesn't exist.
Drozd's influence starting to hit the band's m.o. on this here track
the goods!

I wonder who the blonde was. Either a band/crew members girlfriend. I like to think it’s just some stranger Wayne asked to be in the video
think its leslie hayman who starred as one of the lisbon girls in the virgin suicides since this video is also by sofia coppola
OMG LESLIE HEYMAN
oh
