The Bubblemen - The Bubblemen Are Coming

The Bubblemen were a Love and Rockets offshoot band who recorded just three songs (and I seem to remember some of this footage in the Yin & Yang video too) - released back in 1988, this features on the Love and Rockets DVD released back in 2003.

The Bubblemen are a great band. The Bubblemen are coming is a great song and video. It's my favorite song. 😊

When I saw Love and Rockets live in the 80s, they opened with this.

It's like, they're smiling because they know what they're going to do to me

Imagine Peter Murphy watching this like:
👁👄👁

[Batben]

"NO, NOT THE BEACHBALL, NOOO!!!"

they tie me to a chair, and then they go doing-doing-doing-doing. Then they get medieval on my ass. They're smiling at me bc they know what they're gonna do to me!

I used to think the Beavis & Butthead chopped version of this video was trippy, but this full version is way more fucked up. Thank Beavis & Butthead's commentary for getting me through that first one, could have used them during this one.

Aaaahh Its waving at me. I have nightmares about them butthead

I had a cassette tape of Express I played constantly in the car. It was finally eaten by the tape deck after continuous play for 4+ yrs

This video transformed my teenage mind after dozens of after school viewings.

They tie me to a chair.  And they go Doink Doink Doink!  And then they get medieval on my ass.

[TheMightyThor]

They dance around me and go boing boing boing!

[mlh]

I loved watching these guys live & even up close in som venues. So many great songs tho after ‘89 when they played “Motorcycle” & “I Feel Speed” together it was like a music acid trip. So much of their music sounds better enhanced w mind-altering substances. Idk why but I really like it :)

Beavis and Butthead circa 1992 or 1993ish!!! one of their best skits ever!

[gamerzero]

If I were living in a neighborhood with zero tolerance for weird smells and unusual noises, I'd fry some kippers to this song, playing at full blast, and shout, "I FUCKING DARE YOU TO SUE ME!!!"

[pandorafox]

You get the feeling that Love and Rockets were tripping balls when they concocted this.

[luxomatix]

getting a bubbleman tattooed tomorrow :)

What happens when a band binge listens to the Residents. Same thing happened to XTC.

[flushead]

This is the most f'n Gothic thing I've ever seen!

[HuwDarling]

Oh, God - that's just wonderful. How is it possible I've missed this..? For DECADES..? Sigh...
