-Wayne Coyne
Clouds Taste Metallic, the new album from The Flaming Lips
on Warner Bros. Records, sounds like a big party in outer
space, with two songs about astronauts, references to
exploding brains, placebo headwounds, postal workers on
fire, explorations with needles, loopy rhythms, cheesy NASA
effects and that slightly off-center Flaming Lips "absolute
sound."
Wayne Coyne explains, "We hear so many records these days
that are done with click tracks, as opposed to a dru More...

Review about The Flaming Lips
great | Reviewer: oi oi stevie-boy
------ About the song The Yeah Yeah Yeah Song performed by The Flaming Lips
to everybody:
i simply can not believe that several flaming lips fans (which most of the reviewers here are) have a need to try to prove a 14 year old that she's wrong. i am absolutely sure that 200% 14-year-olds would find this song to be anoying. they've got so much music to listen before they get to a state where they could understand the Lips.
on the other hand, i have to say that this song represents the flaming lips in every way. it's a bit catchy, like many flaming's tunes. it's a bit anoying, like some parts of there songs. it has a message like most of their songs.
it's definetly a great song to open the mystics album with.
cheers.

------ About the song The Yeah Yeah Yeah Song performed by The Flaming Lips
Since when does all music have to sound the same? The Flaming Lips are great and can use whatever they damn like in their songs because they certainly have a knack for churning out some pretty good stuff. I love this song and think the lyrics are spot on.

------ About the song The Yeah Yeah Yeah Song performed by The Flaming Lips
The Flaming Lips sing about the greed thats overtaking the world and that is the greatest message anyone can ever put into a song, short of putting the 19 and a half minutes of missing recordings from the Watergate tapes or the confession that there actually was a second gunman on the grassy knoll. As for the "annoying" noises, get over it. There the band with over a dozen albums.
Kids these days. All of them are a bunch of self-riteous cunts.
Commercial | Reviewer: Houston
------ About the song The W.A.N.D. performed by The Flaming Lips
I was actually greatly disappointed when I heard several of their songs in commercials. I was turned on to the Lips about a year and a half ago by a friend, and have loved them ever since. Then I hear them on an outback steackhouse commercial which drove me insane since they just changed all of the words to the 'Yeah Yeah Yeah Song', then I heard it on a land rover commercial, not so angry at that, but still feeling like they weren't getting the credit they deserved. Just because they make awesome songs doesn't mean anyone has made an awesome enough commercial to use them on.

Absolute power corrupts absolutely | Reviewer: Daniel
------ About the song The Yeah Yeah Yeah Song performed by The Flaming Lips
This song is quite a good rebuttal of communism, fascism, socialism, tyranny, absolute monarchy, and dictatorsip. On the surface these can look pretty good, but in actuality they do not work, due to human nature. And I do like the strange eclectic sound of this band. Their songs are catchy, and oftentimes simple with a profound message.

------ About the song Do You Realize? performed by The Flaming Lips
TFL! GODYES! reminding us it only takes a moment to completley relieve ourselves of this world, how wonderful and easy is it to look at someone's face (anyone's face really!) and see the ancient beauty embedded there. and how amazing that we are indeed floating in space...taking the time to remove yourself from yourself and look ,at everything on a much bigger scale, well that is just goddamn healthy if i do say so myself!
Proof: | Reviewer: Michael Geer
------ About the song Do You Realize? performed by The Flaming Lips
It is proof that moving on is important.
The good things do last, in memory and we should only take that energy and supply it to what is RIGHT IN FRONT OF US. Often times we hardly think that "these hands in front of my face aren't going to be here someday"
I embrace that realness of mortality which a lot of folks take for granted. I mean whom really wants to think about it right?
The energy we have had to make wonderful moments is sometimes negated by missing someone... or something... we mustn't hold on soo tightly to the past or we will just become it.

RE: Commercial Music | Reviewer: fatlipsfan
------ About the song The W.A.N.D. performed by The Flaming Lips
This is one of at least 3 commercials that the Lips have their song in. There was a Nissan commercial and now a Range Rover commercial that both used different parts from "Do You Realize." For what its worth, if a company wants to use your song in a commercial they'll just do some rip off version if you don't let them... take the money and run.
it never sounded so good | Reviewer: Amanda
------ About the song Bad Days performed by The Flaming Lips
i always thought this song was good. i fell in love with it when i heard it in batman but it wasn't until i got fired today that it never sounded so good. getting fired sucks but this song kinda helped.
this is a goodin | Reviewer: ed
------ About the song The W.A.N.D. performed by The Flaming Lips
at first i wasnt particularly happy when i saw the commercial, because its not like the flaming lips to sell the rights of any of their music; especially to a commercial. but if it informs more people about the band then i guess it's not so bad.
if you like this song/album you should do everything you can to see the lips live the next chance you get... they're unbelievable in concert
Commercial Music | Reviewer: Snaeper
------ About the song The W.A.N.D. performed by The Flaming Lips
I'm a semi-fan of the Lips ever since I saw them on Jimmy Kimmel one night. And the Dell Commercial drove me crazy until I was surprised like everyone else that it was them (A special thanks to WikiAnswers.) But the Dell Commercial isn't the only one to sport Lips music as of very recently. The Land Rover Commercial advertising the new LR2 has "Do You Realize" or whatever the name of that song is.

Beautiful | Reviewer: Jordan
------ About the song Do You Realize? performed by The Flaming Lips
A wonderful song, I think David is absolutely right, it really does make stop and think and understand things better.
For me its about the whole concept of polar oppossites. Like you can't have light without darkness, you can't have good without evil. It's just the beautiful thing that everything is so connected even the things that seem so disconnected. This song makes me just stop and go wow. I do realize these things, I just don't realize what they mean. But they'll mean something different everytime, isn't that nice?
Great band, Great song. | Reviewer: dicefanatic
------ About the song Mr. Ambulance Driver performed by The Flaming Lips
This song, to me, is sad yet extremely calming. Even with a lot of repetition and not a ton of lyrics, the song speaks volumes to me.
It reminds me I'm alive. Not alive in a happy-go-lucky I-love-life sort of way, but alive in the sense that I exist and I am real and somehow, as insignificant it may be, that I play a part in this big thing called life.
When I'm sad, it makes me feel content about the way things are. When I'm happy or indifferent, it makes me feel unhappy about the way things happen and the order of things in our universe but unhappy in an oddly calm fashion - 'life sucks, but it's okay. It's the way it's supposed to be'.
A great song to kick back to and think about whatever it is you want to contemplate. I'd recommend the entire Gentlemen album to anyone. The Flaming Lips are amazing.

------ About the song The W.A.N.D. performed by The Flaming Lips
I was a fan of the Flaming Lips in the early 90's but have been so busy that I don't follow music as much. I heard the commercial and looked up to see who was the artist and was pleasantly surprised. Since then I have bought all the albums that I didn't already have.
Just one of many great moments | Reviewer: KMay
------ About the song Ego Tripping at the Gates of Hell performed by The Flaming Lips
Simply put, these guys just get better and better. This tune is my personal favorite from that album (Yoshimi) but they have so many moments like that one that it's hard to pick a favorite. Real gems they are.
Question | Reviewer: Edith
------ About the song All We Have Is Now performed by The Flaming Lips
I'm not sure this is the song I remember from a movie but if it is it is beautiful. I heard the song in a movie about senior citizens in a senion residence. Cannot remember the name of the movie. I would like to rent it. Can you tell me what movie this song is from?

What is needed is a website that lists the artists and songs featured on popular commercials so that consumers can connect with the tunes.
