Video: The Flaming Lips – "Powerless"
A scantily clad young girl is tied up and guarded by a monkey who watches as she struggles to free herself. Then a mystical force shakes the shit out of her and freaks out the monkey. The ropes that were binding her come loose and she dances off into the sunset, leaving the monkey somewhat bewildered.
YouTube commenter Questpeace doesn’t really like the video: “I wish she like broke out of the chair and turned into like fucking Mothra and blew stuff up with psychedelic powers or something. I don’t know. I just think it could have been better.”
C’mon Flaming Lips, you can do better than this! “scantily clad young girl is tied up”. Surprised they didn’t have her smell the glove.
Another reason I really don’t like this band
