Listen to the Flower People

[@PatriciaPeekfindingmytiara]

"We Love You"

[@Supertron1]

I still find it incredible that this movie came out in 1984, yet this segment really does look and sound like it was from 15 years earlier.

[@nathanbray1161]

Its not too late, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[@georgefranklin4872]

My favorite song from the Summer of Love!

[@davinodf]

I want to crank this song up to 11.

[@62SG]

I like that instead of having any kind of message of their own they just to listen to some other people.

[@Johnny6666]

In typically mind-expanding fashion, Spinal Tap never actually inform the listener as to *what* the flower people have to tell us that is of such cosmic importance. Far out, man.

[@wildebt]

This guy doesn't get it

[@yoosh9034]

I thought the flower people said "ah"

[@ThirstyEye]

Just wanna say, if the Tap ever make another record they should call it Birds & Mirrors. I envision Yes-like album cover artwork featuring infinite birds peering into mirrors, searching for the truth.

[@Reggie-The-Dog]

That's fucking great!

[@timtonner946]

I'm listening... 🌺🌼🌸

[@mr.huggie4885]

"Shhhh..."

[@andrewpappas9311]

Aaahhhh

[@freshacconci]

The late, great Peter "James" Bond.

[@monkeytennis7477]

Harry and his big green eyes 😍❤️‍🔥💖

[@kevindudley9617]

It's like a Mozart symphony.

[@andrewpappas9311]

Mixed with some Bach for good measure

[@Weshopwizard]

Eine kleina flower power.

[@chetzmom65]

OMG... I love them. "This is Spinal Tap" chronicles the epic journey of one of history's greatest forgotten musical geniuses.

[@benjaminnormal9968]

Should I like this song as much as I do?

[@tunnelvision543]

It's fucking good

[@borivojputna4944]

I love how they didn't bother to give mikes to anyone except for the drummer

[@xtcpino]

This was shortly after they changed the name from The Thamesmen - I believe that the death of Eric "Stumpy Joe" Childs and the hiring of Peter "James" Bond for the ~ Spinal Tap Sings "(Listen to the) Flower People" and Other Favourites ~ album was the impetus for the name change...No-one seems to recall whether any of E"SJ"C's parts made it onto that record. That's P"J"B on the drums here in the video, and you can see the name "Spinal Tap" on the head of the kick drum.

[@gdawgs101]

Unfortunately Stumpy died in a bizarre gardening accident...

[@andrewpearson1903]

The song has about the same chord progression as David Bowie's songs "Fantastic Voyage" and "Boys Keep Swinging," which he wrote with the same changes as an inside joke on his Lodger album from 1979. Maybe the songwriters are in on the joke? (That, or it's just a common progression.)

[@donniekirksey9978]

I feel like these guys would be the ones to be in on something like that. The references in this movie are very deep it seems.

[@MrChriswren]

i love this band

[@charterloungeparty]

Fresh remnants of the Credibility Gap!

[@ThirstyEye]

I LOVE Derek Smalls advising us students to "shhhhhhh!" at 0:54 .

[@ChrisJHutchins]

Thanks! Mrs. Murphy!

[@wildebt]

Since Mrs. Murphy's chowder!😂😂

[@juanc1328]

Derek Smalls was the proto-Lemmy back in the day

[@auntyfreezeelmo7904]

Share the love my beloved children

[@masterpiecelacquers2766]

With your pledges PBS can continue to bring great music from the 60's 70's and 80's...right after this song the boys from Spinal Tap will play in studio and entertain us with "lick my love pump"

[@MrIkesimba]

Three Frank Sinatra fans thinks this is a fad.

[@EatShiteAholes]

+MrIkesimba and he's dead... the fan AND sinatra...

[@usefulvidiots7869]

Hilarious comment, on a couple of levels. Well done.

[@garysmith9823]

Better the most of the stuff it's mean to satirize.

[@Videoaddict345]

Their satanic majesties request, He He...

[@mrhob6355]

who was the drummer then , Roy stubby peeps .

[@WhiteCamry]

That's the hook from The Small Faces' "All or Nothing."

[@petemarsh30]

The final vocal chord is almost a direct lift from "Good Vibrations" by the Beachboys, (just after the quiet section in the middle).

[@oostenmusic]

Just like a bolt out of the blue...................

[@sharonkennedy6828]

Hahahahh, none more 60's, :D

[@Custardpie174]

😂😂😂 the self indulgent over important rock bands....

[@ardradiva]

Awesome. I thought they were called the Thamesmen or something other than spinal tap in their 60's phase?

[@randyatlantis2388]

They were the Thamesmen before Spinal Tap and before that the Originals and the New Originals.

[@phoxetis]

Awesome ! :)

[@misternewoutlook5437]

Hilarious... it's just like the 60s group from England called The Herd.

[@PsyVen]

Reminds me more of the Moody Blues.

[@rationalmuscle]

Far better than any Grateful Dead song.

[@134590174]

I beg to differ.

[@donsurlylyte]

no

[@itookallthenames]

kula shaker

[@sratus]

lol

[@johnwerner4925]

Does Mrs. Murphy's Chowder have "magic mushrooms"? I'm betting it does and this helps one to listen...and write a catchy parody. Move over Rutles, you've been served.

[@twenteetoo]

Are they trippin' balls or what?

[@dwightlollar1]

seriously?

[@MrIkesimba]

Very serious
