Flaming lips. Their music has gotten a bit too ridiculous lately, but songs like "she don't use jelly" and "yoshimi battles the pink robots", and many others from earlier in their catalog are both silly and heartfelt.
- jkestner 5y agoFlaming Lips is great kids’ music. The Yeah Yeah Yeah Song was a favorite.
- adolfojp 5y agoThe Flaming Lips hit... weird. When I first heard Yoshimi I treated it like a whimsical story but then one day I heard it as an escapist fantasy of a child in distress talking about their savior and I got weepy. Is that how you're supposed to interpret the song? It doesn't matter. It hits you how it hits you. Wayne Coyne's voice is awful. He has a terrible singing voice. And yet you don't care because it makes some devastatingly beautiful songs like Do You Realize. I can't listen to The Flaming Lips for more than a few days at a time. Prolonged exposure makes me tired and heavy. But then, after a few months have gone by, I am drawn back to it like a moth to the light.
