The Flaming Lips - Turn It On [Official Music Video]

[@noenduringcity]

This era of Flaming Lips videos gives me insane nostalgia for the 90's. More than anything else. Because the videos (George's work?) don't have fancy sets or production... just real life 90's stuff especially if you're from OKC and were part of the scene when the Lips represented all of us in Oklahoma. So good.

[@dustinbowden560]

I spent my teens in Wichita Falls, TX during that period, not far from you guys. Your comment gave me double nostalgia 👍

[@OhanaFilms]

God, I miss this time in music so much.

[@DKGifford19608]

That's the best part about living in the future - you know what's good from the past and you can curate your life to celebrate it.

[@OhanaFilms]

@@DKGifford19608 I like this concept.

[@MiddleEngland69]

Good dayz

[@agentblackacid]

My favourite album by the Lips

[@OhanaFilms]

@@agentblackacid Agreed.

[@frogonhead]

Part of me is sad i rarely hear this song around anymore. I love all the Lips i’ve heard, but this song specifically is top-tier for me

[@faulsname8869]

Transmissions from the great cosmic satellite heart of infinite love!!

[@ShanerVH]

I’m 51 now and recently rediscovered this! Man what an amazing album, especially while high haha

[@cchavezjr7]

I really loved the era with Ronald Jones on guitar. He added an edge that was lost and really made a difference in the band's success and visibility in my opinion.

[@helterskelter1178]

Steven Drozd killing it. Huge drum sound.

[@joeljohnson8214]

They have some great songs. 90s Flaming Lips rock!

[@campfiremusicbyaegf]

There’s a feeling of overwhelming joy I get when I listen to The Flaming Lips that is intense. Like I was there too.

[@Salineddi]

I'm so happy to hear this! Music is quite a strong mood enhancer. Nothing but delirious joy coming from The Flaming Lips.

[@faulsname8869]

Dude same. Like sometimes I honestly cry tears of joy from how positive and awesome Wayne’s lyrics are

[@fsm5184]

I've been listening to Flaming lips for almost 30 years and i never get tired of cd.You guys made ours life's better.Long life to the 🔥👄.Greetings from Puerto Rico

[@fsm5184]

@Karl Morris thanks my friend, I'm going to look at ...

[@ashlimidey4035]

Ahhh the Xmas lights everywhere 😍 Saw them in a tiny club in '94 or '95 in Deep Ellum in Dallas with Xmas lights everywhere and on everyone with a bubble machine filling the room. It was blissful. Damn those were some good times...

[@randydillonart]

It was either Trees or the Orbit room or the Galaxy Club, but it was probably Trees.

[@cmach-mt8gl]

@@randydillonart It was Trees. There was a skinny kid (probably on PCP) that took on 3 300 pound bouncers outside the venue before the concert began. God I miss the 90's!!!

[@ryanatkinson8067]

@@randydillonart There is still nothing like a Flaming Lips show. I was at OU starting in late 1995, and I missed the Dallas and OKC shows, which were the last 'Lips playing actual instruments' shows until 1999 or 2000. I kick myself daily for missing the opportunity to see them with Ronald Jones.

[@TravisGreenwoodlessavytrav]

Saw them in Portland in 97ish and they had about 10,000 Xmas lights hardwired to a guitar pedal. No lights were on, then ALL of the lights were ON. Amazing moment...

[@redkamel3304]

When flaming lips first started blooming into their own sound and its still so good

[@aldoraines8085]

Caught them live back in the 90's. What a HIGH energy show! Loved it and will never forget it! Few can compare...

[@steve9094]

I feel like this and Beck's "Loser" are the two most "90s" music videos in existence. Awesome.

[@amandaredd3057]

Beck's also INSANELY talented. Amazing discography

[@zenpaganwarrior]

2nd favorite tune on Transmissions next to Slow Nerve Action. Great LP! Fun video! I see Wayne's wife's in this one.

[@matthewlutes775]

It's all a waste of time again!

[@flavirostris1972]

The Lips deserved to get the worldwide acclaim and success in the mid 90's after 'Transmissions' and 'Clouds Taste Metallic', but it didn't come for another 5 years

[@mikem3779]

The Soft Bulletin/Yoshimi years were good, but the years of Priest/Clouds/Transmissions/HIt to Death were just absolute magic.

[@richholoch8230]

Everything they have done is amazing. The Soft Bulletin is the shit

[@gorrellykid]

part of me just flys away on a happy tangent every time I hear this

[@AdmiralQuality]

This reminded me that my youth existed. Thank you.

[@ryanmcguire9951]

This song is part of my daily playlist..amazing!

[@TheCandygunner]

Why can't they play fun stuff like this anymore ? This is great. Take a step back guys.

[@elnyoutube123]

jerry murphy Cause' their guitar player Ronald Jones fell off the face of the earth

[@jasonmeadows4075]

jerry murphy, they need to get back to learning how to play and write melodies. Now, all they play is noise. Maybe they are just burnt out. It happens to all the best groups. They just don't seem to have any real inspiration left after Yoshimi.

[@Auriam]

Maybe they need to drop some acid again ;)

[@inkydigitz]

@@jasonmeadows4075 definitely

[@bennettwyler846]

Jason Meadows Go ahead and listen to At War With the Mystics Again, and if you still want more beautiful melodies, fantastic songwriting, and innovative production, listen to The King’s Mouth. Both came after Yoshimi and both are Top 5 Flaming Lips records

[@AnthrYrslf]

we know we will get what we pay for, with you guys! Always a pleasure, thank you!

[@CrotchFires69]

@@ericgrimey4792 Too funny! I saw the same tour in Cleveland. It was during a weird era when concert promoters thought it would be good to introduce different music styles to various genres. I was a fan of (still am) the Lips and Tool. But it was interesting to watch the Tool fans (total metal fans) try to boo the Lips off the stage with bubbles in the air when they opened. But, yeah. A long time ago indeed.

I saw them a lot in Deep Elum in Dallas Texas. Never knew there was a video. Ok,I admit, I was pretty wasted back in the 90s.

[@jasonkimball8488]

Is this the best line-up? I miss Ronald with them. Steven on drums is great. I think this is the best line-up.

[@steve9094]

Their earlier stuff is definitely my favorite too. None of their stuff after this record ever had the same impact on me, cuz they stopped doing the awesome Dinosaur Jr-esque guitar noise freakouts in their songs.

[@mikem3779]

I remember when Wayne stopped playing guitar at shows and started playing sock puppets. Took me a long time to get over the fact that the Lips I once knew were gone and not coming back.

[@jasonkimball8488]
