Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots, Pt 1

Posted by Larry Karnowski at September 7, 2004 12:51 PM

By the Flaming Lips

Her name is Yoshimi
she's a black belt in karate
working for the city
she has to discipline her body

'Cause she knows that
it's demanding
to defeat those evil machines
I know she can beat them

Oh Yoshimi, they don't believe me
but you won't let those robots eat me
Yoshimi, they don't believe me
but you won't let those robots defeat me

Those evil-natured robots
they're programmed to destroy us
she's gotta be strong to fight them
so she's taking lots of vitamins

'Cause she knows that
it'd be tragic
if those evil robots win
I know she can beat them

Oh Yoshimi, they don't believe me
but you won't let those robots defeat me
Yoshimi, they don't believe me
but you won't let those robots eat me

Yoshimi

'Cause she knows that
it'd be tragic
if those evil robots win
I know she can beat them

Oh Yoshimi, they don't believe me
but you won't let those robots defeat me
Yoshimi, they don't believe me
but you won't let those robots defeat me

Oh Yoshimi, they don't believe me
but you won't let those robots eat me
Yoshimi, they don't believe me
but you won't let those robots eat me

Yoshimi

source of the lyrics

My brother got me into this album this weekend. I'm having lots of fun listening to it! Kind of a "Rock Anime" instead of a "Rock Opera" I guess. Too cool.

Comments

Oh. My. God. That is soooooo weird.

I swear I was going to post the exact same song lyrics on my webpage!

Damn, Larry. Quit readin' my mind!!

Mark... hmmm... well, I would figure you were just being sarcastic except for two reasons.

1) I know that you and I have actually posted similar lyrics on almost exactly the same day for no apparent, explainable reason ("Weird Science" by Oingo Boingo and some Jimmy Buffett stuff too).

2) I know how much crack you smoke.

Right on brother! Enjoy them pink robots, but be careful of their German-engineered Masticulators(TM)!

I hate to expose myself as the Justification Nazi, but...

I really think your image of Tony's book should be centered.

Sincerely,

JN

Is this your first encounter with The Flaming Lips, or just the first time you've heard this particular album? If you ever have a chance to see them live, you should take it. It's quite an experience.

"I hate to expose myself as the Justification Nazi, but... I really think your image of Tony's book should be centered."

Ooh, someone better have picture perfect presentation slides for Thursday's meeting, Nazi-boy!

Bwahahaha! You go, Mark!

Didn't you mean "wheel-boy" though?

Dear Justification Nazi,
The real problem was not that Tony's book cover was left-justified, but that the subject titles on the right sidebar were center-justified. That was just wrong. Making the entire right sidebar left-justified was the correct answer.

Blah,
Larry

P.S. Yes, Tom, this was my first Flaming Lips exposure, and I've never seen them live. Well, okay, I guess I did have one earlier experience -- I saw them on Austin City Limits as Beck's backing band for the Sea Changes tour. Kickass!

Gentlemen

I freely admit that I am the original art/folk rock/weird *&^% nerd, I was into Patty Smith and the B52's before they were cool. Your comments are interesting as well as inteligent...something sorely lacking in todays society.

I don't have a clue how I missed this incredible,fresh,out there group, but I'm glad I found them! I also saw them first on Austin City Limits( go figure).
