    Lyrics:
    I know a girl who thinks of ghosts
    She'll make you breakfast
    She'll make you toast
    But she don't use butter
    And she don't use cheese
    She don't use jelly
    Or any of these
    She uses Vaseline
    Vaseline
    Vaseline
    And I know a guy who goes to shows
    When he's at home and he blows his nose
    He don't use tissues or his sleeve
    He don't use napkins or any of these
    He uses magazines
    Magazines
    Magazines
    Magazines
    I know a girl who reminds me of Cher
    (Reminds me of Cher)
    She's always changing
    (She's always changing)
    The color of her hair
    (Color of her hair)
    But she don't use nothing
    That you buy at the store
    She likes her hair to be real orange
    She uses tangerines
    Tangerines
    Tangerines
    Tangerines
    Tangerines
    Tangerines
    Tangerines

    My husband and I met in '93 and this was one of the first "out there" songs he introduced me to. I remember us walking around the neighborhood singing it. At least the Vaseline, Magazine, and Tangerine choruses. Good memories for us in our 23rd year together. Thanks for posting it FLs.

    My old headphones are kinda busted and don't pick up all the audio channels, I think, so I can only hear Wayne for most of the song. There are these long, echoey passages with no instruments at all, just a slight reverberation in the vocals, and some static.
    ...Honestly, the song got even more trippy, and I love it.

    THE HISTORY OF THE FLAMING LIPS: Every Flaming Lips fan should be super thankful for this song because had they not came out with it, they would have been dropped from their label. Even though "In a Preist Driven Ambulance" and "Hit to Death in the Future Head" were good albums, they produced no hits and sold virtually no albums. Warner Bros was on the verge of dropping them but then they came out with this (the album "Transmissions from the Satellite Heart". This was the hit (and album) that got them started and gave the executives at Warner Bros the power to be able to say "Told you so" to other labels while at the same time gave the Flaming Lips the ability and freedom to fuck around. This freedom was very important after the magnificent and highly underrated "Clouds Taste Metallic" only sold like 70,000 copies (WB was expecting 250k minimum after the success of Transmissions). This "fucking around" resulted in "Zaireeka" which we should also be grateful for because without Zaireeka there would be no "The Soft Bulletin" which not only stopped the label from dropping them once again, but "The Soft Bulletin" (their best album by far, no hands down) proved the band didn't need a guitarist, proved that heroin addicts can be great musicians even in the middle of their addictions, and proved that The Flaming Lips were a highly creative band capable of creating beautiful music as well as always willing to try something new. After the slightly disappointing "At War With The Mystics" (which was The Flaming Lips attempt to get some radio hits like this one), they once again tried something new and blew everyone's mind with "Embryonic". Embryonic is in some ways The Flaming Lips most complete and fine tuned album (it's like their Abbey Road). After Embryonic, the Flaming Lips couldn't get any more experimental, right? Nope, they created and even more experimental, hard-to-get-into album titled "The Terror". Which, at first might annoy some Flaming Lips fans, but trust me, give it a chance and you will realize THE TERRRRORRR. Thank you - T.J. Nieman

I got such a bad sunburn that the pain wouldn't let me sleep, so I stayed up all night watching music videos (a real treat as my parents didn't want to pay for cable). This came on and it was so bizarre and I immediately fell in love with it. Took me years to find it again as it didn't get air time where I lived; I think it wasn't until the Internet developed to the point where you could find music on it - Napster maybe, or Kazaa? (Back in my day, if you wanted Internet your modem sounded like a robot dying, it took an hour to download a four-minute song, and that's the way we liked it, thank you very much!) And now with RUclips, Pandora, Spotify and the like, we can instantly find any music we want any time.
