If you saw the video for The Flaming Lips’s “Watching the Planets,” you’ll already be familiar with the giant, hairy ball with an unmistakably yonic slit. And if we are to consider their new clip, for “See the Leaves,” as a direct sequel to that one, the story of that ball now goes something like this: After a crowd of naked people strip Wayne Coyne and shove him into that giant vagina, it begins to leak a cartoonish, bright yellow liquid that a nude, blindfolded young woman bathes in and ingests. She emerges with a glowing, yellow vulva of her own, flicking the liquid it issues this way and that as she stalks about in parks and parking garages, and eventually finding her spiritual home in a wildfire.
Is it actually supposed to be pee? Probably not, although yellow is certainly not the only color in the rainbow. But whatever. We don’t question The Flaming Lips. We just admire their freak flag as it flies in the afternoon sun.
