The Flaming Lips - Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots Part.1

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

I remember the teacher I had when I was 8 played this in class. I'm 21 now and I just woke up out of a sleep with this song in my head, absolutely fucked up😂

[junebugzz]

i remember my art teacher used to play this song when i was 5. this brought back so many memories. it made me cry, i wish i could relive those beautiful moments in life.

[lakeswirl]

why is it such a universal experience for dads to share this song with their kids. i started martial arts when i was 9 and my dad would always drive me to practice, and i’ve had a fixation on evil robot characters for as long as i can remember, so he says this song reminds him of me <3

I took my cat to the vet and she asked what my favorite The Flaming Lips album was ..first person to ask me .. my kitten name Yoshimi .. she helps me when I come back from the evil machines .

[aidanheaney]

My dad used to sing this song to me all the time. I rediscovered it recently. This song is so beautiful

[Jensaiti]

This song helps lots when you have a bad trip.

[rtrt]

This song is like an anime. Straight up 💯

[mojorising]

I sang this to my daughter this morning.

[EphemeralWealth]

This song... The whole set, small stage at del mar. Balloons, booze, something else trippy. Flaming lips are amazing live.

[swaggycheese]

Damn. My dad played this for me when O was four or something. I'm 14 now and this is trippy.

[thingbe]

my dad played this for me since i was 6 years old, now im 15 and this randomly showed up on my feed and i got kicked in the face with nostalgia. its crazy learning that so many other people relate

[aeneas]

just remembered this song, my friend i haven't seen in ages showed it to me when we were kids.

[gladisber]

Yoshimi...inside of me....my angel, protect me

[stephaniesands]

We named our Shih Tzu Yoshimi and we sing this song to her all the time!

[projectsharp]

[thoughtcriminal]

Robot Revolution on the not so distant horizon where even robots will be building robots.

[jocelynkirwan]

[Ala]

This was on the radio station at the store I worked at. I had to look it up after I heard it

[udaymitra]
