02 One More Robot/Sympathy 3000-21
03 Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots Pt.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

" The Flaming Lips早已公推是後判客年代最具原創性的樂隊，而對於這種已有歷史定位的，總不免覺得他們接下來的工作大約便是守成，難再有什麼驚天動地、驚世駭俗的突破。尤其The Flaming Lips從八○年代中期的美式獨立噪音搖滾一路脫胎換成近期的新迷幻風骨，其始終豐盈的創意與大團氣勢，已經夠讓眾多後生晚輩折服；而九九年那張前作「The Soft Bulletin」更是公認九○年代結束前，夠格與Pink Floyd之「Dark Side Of The Moon」相提並論的經典。 成團十多年來，他們傑作不斷，甚至也衝上了該有的顛峰。可是，此刻這三年來全新的專輯「Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots」，卻叫人驚覺，原來The Flaming Lips已經登上了另一處凡人幾乎眺望不到的創意山頭。
本來乍看以為一切照舊，自九七年的專輯「Zaireeka」起，他們就習慣在製作人Dave Fridmann位於紐約的錄音室工作。這位Mercury Rev的貝斯手，就因為原團的「Deserter’s Songs」成為當代搖滾新美學指標人物之一；其後更外接了Mogwai、Sparklehorse與Luna等團的製作重任，繼續發揮其影響力。 兩年前的春天The Flaming Lips 開始籌備「Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots」這張專輯，依舊由他擔綱，但在主唱Wayne Coyne跟團員的心裡，似乎顯然毫無戀棧之意。
他們一方面進行著前作之主打單曲"Race For The Price"的重新混音工程(始終不滿意，後來沒發表)，而Wayne Coyne一邊還埋頭譜寫著他參與的第一部電影【Christmas On Mars】的配樂；同時又接獲一封電子郵件，告知他們之前巡迴時所結識，那位經營著唱片行的日本女子突然過世了！這些聽起來毫不相干的獨立事件，似乎正是隱約推動The Flaming Lips變革的新力量。 當然只有Wayne Coyne心裡最清楚，到底是否因為他在那部科幻電影(故事大約是地球終於殖民了火星，但有天這太空計劃決定終止，火星上的住民該何去何從…)扮演一個類似聖誕老人的角色，所以他們才把樂團的聲響全面太空化，將新迷幻搖滾的格局進一步以細碎卻龐大，宛如星際隕石群襲來的電氣音色及節奏層層包裹，比Air、Boards Of Canada乃至近期的Radiohead都不失色；甚至虛構出一個日本女孩叫Yoshimi(專輯內就真的請來日本噪音怪胎樂隊Boredoms的團員Yoshimi)，獨自對抗殺人機器The Pink Robots這款把戲。宛如初生之犢才有的破格勇氣，The Flaming Lips再度讓世人瞠目結舌。
