this is by far one of their most impressive songs to see live. i saw them do this in the late 90's and it was soooo incredible. and half way through the song, Daniel's mic started slipping, but he just went with it. he slid down singing in time as the mic slid down. it was cute and funny. the auidence got a kick out of it. and by the way - "alcohol is your yoga baby" - i love that line!
I may be dating myself here, but I once requested this song on Muchmusic and they played it! Spoke on the air with Steve Anthony too!! I remember he asked me if I was going to dance around my living room or something! I said "no man, I want to see the video!" He laughed...
I saw them in 1999 too and I thought they were amazing! It was one of the best shows I ever saw in my life. Maybe they had an off or bad night when you saw them? I remember they played this song live in 99 and it sounded so good and considering how long the normal version is of this song is, which was the version they played, (not this video version) it was really impressive. Love that line "alcohol is your yoga baby".
I envy so much the ones who had the huge enormous luck to see this band on stage!..i still remember 18 years old watching on video the show at the london marquee...feelling my mind actually blowing!..Why Argentina were so fucking far away from this MONSTERS!!
@ThunderHeadThor I saw that tour in FL in '89 too! Then I met them in 95. Daniel Ash was the coolest of the 3. David J and Kevin Haskins just said "hi" and bounced. Ash came out, took pix with us, and we talked for about 10 min (we hid out behind the club till the bouncer told him we were out there waiting. He just came out and introduced himself) Coolest guy ever...
well, we appreciate them, right?...i appreciate them from the bottom of my heart. i think the world's greatest art doesn't get the biggest mainstream success. not enough words to say how great this band is
I saw Love and Rockets back in 1995 in a crappy little town with terrible acoustics. But they were amazing. And when they played this song, half way through they seamlessly transitioned into the first part of "Bela Lugosi's Dead"...and then dreamily went back to the Flowerpot Man. It was chilling... They were incredible.
God I LOVE this song - so gald to rediscover it - yes, I agree with a person below it's one of the best songs written ... so uplifting and ecstatic... one cannot be sad during or after listening to this... it makes me grin and dance!! :-D
@Gedemondas O.K. so Kevin Haskins is the Flowerpot Man. Which one is Yin? And which one is Yang? Great song! Heard it a few times back in the 80's. Didn't know the name of the song or the grossly under-rated group that did the song. Found it thanks to a search on Daytripper-Daniel Ash 1991, that I did a couple of months ago. All of the sudden I found many of the Love and Rockets hidden treasures, as well as the outstanding short-lived Tones On Tail collection.
I always wanted a white acoustic since seeing this video.Been workin on strumming that fast. I love 2:28 to 3:16,Had a mushroom trip just like that when i was young in the 80's. Why is there such a shortage of great bands like these guys.Still blows me after all these years.
@jotacalvo That's wicked. Imagine a rock star being humble enough to go out back of a gig and talk to fans in the alley. Not only is Ash one of my favorite guitar players. He is also one of the most underrated ever. He was one of the first minimalist players who understood that the guitar could be used to convey atmosphere rather than just being used as a self serving wanking tool. Double Dare, Bela Lugosi, MASK, Daniel could do more to disturb you with a few notes than any other player.
pardon me while i get on my soapbox: WHY DID'NT THIS BAND GET HUGE? THEY HAVE MORE MUSICAL ABILITY IN THEIR TOE NAIL CLIPPINGS THAN ANY 10 BANDS YOU WANT TO NAME! AAAAAARGH! thank you i needed to get that off my chest.
You're welcome kymm00. After posting about "The bubblemen are coming" video, I had to go watch it again for myself. It makes me laugh everytime, it's so cute and very funny!
I just watched it now, and I have to admit, I kind of nervously laughed throughout the whole thing. It was hilarious, but at the same time utterly terrifying for me. Lol. I believe the Bubblemen will soon be making a guest appearance in my nightmares.
Lol. I love the end part as well. It was mostly the dances which were scary, because I couldn't imagine Dan, Kev and David actually doing those moves. :P and you're absolutely right, of course. I'd much rather watch the actual members. I find Kevin to be adorable :]
@elilichtenberg I so agree, the music is amazing! But today we have to endure seeing the top 40 artists sell millions when they should be slapped and told that they are a lie
Sorry you found it terrifying! I think it's so cute. My fave part is at the end when the bubbleman is on the motorcycle & gives a thumbs up! Hope they didn't give you any nightmares! Guess it's better just to stick with watching the actual members of L&R! Beside they are much cuter then the bubblemen ;) I used to have a crush on Daniel when this album came out. Express is by far THE BEST L&Rs album ever!
Yes indeed! And whether yo were grinding teeth on blow or doses is entirely irrelevant... Love and Rockets were the soundtrack to testing the boundaries of the infinite... I still see sacred fractal geometry behind my eyelids decades after the fact.... All aboard the Express Kundalini......
What a great video. I couldn't stop laughing at the dance around 2:11 and the pillow fight at the end. wtf is up with those round-bellied alien things? Oh, and Kevin is so adorable :] It cracked me up at 4:16 when David punched Kevin. This whole video is hilarious. Thank you for sharing!

CONTROVERSIAL STATEMENT!
one of the 25 best songs ever written.
I miss these days of good music and creativity.
this is by far one of their most impressive songs to see live. i saw them do this in the late 90's and it was soooo incredible. and half way through the song, Daniel's mic started slipping, but he just went with it. he slid down singing in time as the mic slid down. it was cute and funny. the auidence got a kick out of it.
and by the way - "alcohol is your yoga baby" - i love that line!
love love love this song..love drivin on the freeway to it....i saw them in the late 80's in oakland...i will never forget it!!...love them.
For Sure!!! Best driving song ever. Just makes you wanna drive faster and faster!
I met Kevin Haskins back in 1989 and no joke, he's the nicest, sweetest guy imaginable and 100 times cuter in real life than in any video.
I may be dating myself here, but I once requested this song on Muchmusic and they played it! Spoke on the air with Steve Anthony too!! I remember he asked me if I was going to dance around my living room or something! I said "no man, I want to see the video!" He laughed...
Ahhhh MAN!!!! YEAH! Who saw them ever at "The Ritz" NYC....Thumbs Up!
A beautiful day outside and L&R creeping out of the speakers...life is wonderful =)
so true.
I love the Bubblemen, I wish all this music could come back, it has always spoken to me.
These guys are just flat-out amazing. cum back to the states soon.
Simple video, catchy song. Thats what rock and roll should be.
L&R were frickin' AMAZING!
such an underrated band
Loved this album and song. I think I listened to it every morning getting ready for school.
I saw them in 1999 too and I thought they were amazing! It was one of the best shows I ever saw in my life. Maybe they had an off or bad night when you saw them? I remember they played this song live in 99 and it sounded so good and considering how long the normal version is of this song is, which was the version they played, (not this video version) it was really impressive.

Express changed my life. Such an experience.
Saw Love & Rockets, and The Bubblemen too! San Diego State Amphitheater in the mid 1980's.......
Favorite music video of all time
I got a big smile out of this one!
Man these guys are the stuff that make awsome music...bring back memeories of the annex and Central Tech
WOWSAAAAAAA---what an incredible song/video...it kept psych music alive
amidst the MTV onslought
I remember this in Miami Vice.. with Crockett being chased in his scarab speedboat... this fast beat song was perfect for a speedboat chase!!
Now I have to visit Bauhaus.
These guys were my music of choice growing up. Nothing better than Ball of Confusion; so pertinent to today.
It was often the closing song at The Luverfair in Vancouver back in 1989. Ahhhhhhhhhh...
I envy so much the ones who had the huge enormous luck to see this band on stage!..i still remember 18 years old watching on video the show at the london marquee...feelling my mind actually blowing!..Why Argentina were so fucking far away from this MONSTERS!!
Gotta love Daniel Ash...so talented. True artist / visionary
@ThunderHeadThor I saw that tour in FL in '89 too! Then I met them in 95. Daniel Ash was the coolest of the 3. David J and Kevin Haskins just said "hi" and bounced. Ash came out, took pix with us, and we talked for about 10 min (we hid out behind the club till the bouncer told him we were out there waiting. He just came out and introduced himself) Coolest guy ever...
Just love the bass in this song!
This song is the best for driving E -W across highway 401 in Tdot. I usually look down and find the speedometer sitting at 160 kph! Classic!!
It's so cool how Ash is a "lead guitarist" yet I never heard him play a single solo with scales. What a great band.
well, we appreciate them, right?...i appreciate them from the bottom of my heart. i think the world's greatest art doesn't get the biggest mainstream success. not enough words to say how great this band is
ALL of the 'Love and Rockets' fans around the world appreciate your comment, superstarpally. It is spot-on!
korrekter Sound!
I am currently drinking alcohol instead of doing yoga. THANK YOU LOVE AND ROCKETS I LOVE YOU
Yea baby
this band makes me feel so alive.
One of my favorites from this album.
saw them with the Mighty Lemondrops and the Bubblemen!
great show!
I saw Love and Rockets back in 1995 in a crappy little town with terrible acoustics. But they were amazing. And when they played this song, half way through they seamlessly transitioned into the first part of "Bela Lugosi's Dead"...and then dreamily went back to the Flowerpot Man. It was chilling...

Saw them in San Diego; great show! This video reminds me of being in highschool again :) thank you Love and Rockets!
The Bubblemen!!!
Oh yeah!!..Real music!!
msut be one of my all-time favorite songs.... thanks for posting!!!! :-)
Love these guys and this is one of my favorite from them.
I will absolutely agree with that Boogazing.
I bought "Express" in 1986 on cassette and wore it out. One of my favorite albums of all time.
God I LOVE this song - so gald to rediscover it - yes, I agree with a person below it's one of the best songs written ... so uplifting and ecstatic... one cannot be sad during or after listening to this... it makes me grin and dance!! :-D
So just YES
rockin song....just so good. ty
@Gedemondas
O.K. so Kevin Haskins is the Flowerpot Man. Which one is Yin? And which one is Yang?
Great song! Heard it a few times back in the 80's. Didn't know the name of the song or the grossly under-rated group that did the song.

@UrbaneG Me too! I saw them in my home-town of Regina, Canada, my room-mate being the gig booker. I was one lucky guy! Brilliant!
EXPRESS my favourite album
Thanks ever so for this
i like this video and song very much
I always wanted a white acoustic since seeing this video.Been workin on strumming that fast.
I love 2:28 to 3:16,Had a mushroom trip just like that when i was young in the 80's.
Why is there such a shortage of great bands like these guys.Still blows me after all these years.
This song is made for open highway top down driving!!
One of the Greatest bands here.
Agreed. The kid has a solid beat.
and awesome guitar solo ;d
perfection
💟
Oh Yes!!
Alcohol is your yogurt baby....love this part, love the bees.
Love it! Almost forgot about this song!
I saw them at Red Rocks with The Godfathers. Awesome song!
@ThunderHeadThor That was an awesome show!!! I got to go back stage( am friends with the Godfathers)
Daniel is Bae😍😍😍😍💍
I watched and Loved this band until now so what do we do now?
Top Ten under-rated bands- this would be one of them.
I feel the "Chameleons" are number 1 under-rated and then perhaps these guys
I agree with you totally PM!
that is such a cool white acoustic guitar i have a white bass guitar
The BubbleMen RULE!!
The drummer's super cute and that's all that matters.
And it's a good song
Love Love and Rockets!
one of the songs I play when I pick up and acoustic.
@jotacalvo That's wicked. Imagine a rock star being humble enough to go out back of a gig and talk to fans in the alley. Not only is Ash one of my favorite guitar players.

Double Dare, Bela Lugosi, MASK, Daniel could do more to disturb you with a few notes than any other player.
I saw them open for Jane's Addiciton...most of the audience seemed more interested in them than the headliner.
pardon me while i get on my soapbox: WHY DID'NT THIS BAND GET HUGE? THEY HAVE MORE MUSICAL ABILITY IN THEIR TOE NAIL CLIPPINGS THAN ANY 10 BANDS YOU WANT TO NAME! AAAAAARGH! thank you i needed to get that off my chest.
alcohol's your yooooooga baaaaaabyeeeeeeeeeeeeeh... this band is too good for words!!!
this is a song you truly appreciate driving a lon section of road at 3 a.m.;transcendent!
You're welcome kymm00. After posting about "The bubblemen are coming" video, I had to go watch it again for myself. It makes me laugh everytime, it's so cute and very funny!
@elilichtenberg I so agree,
They will be Amazing at Coachella!!
Gotta love those eighties.
fIREHOSE, Cult, Metallica, Prince, Misfits
thi list goes on...
I love watching Kevin beat up his brother with his drumsticks only to get slapped upside the head, it's funny...and Danny is laughing at them...
I just watched it now, and I have to admit, I kind of nervously laughed throughout the whole thing. It was hilarious, but at the same time utterly terrifying for me. Lol. I believe the Bubblemen will soon be making a guest appearance in my nightmares.
Life after Bauhaus
talent and fun, uplifting indead
@ThunderHeadThor me too! great gig, werent they both playing basses? one on super fuzz and one like a lead
i saw them during the Earth Sun & Moon tour and they had The Mighty Lemondrops and The Bubblemen opening
Lol. I love the end part as well. It was mostly the dances which were scary, because I couldn't imagine Dan, Kev and David actually doing those moves. :P
and you're absolutely right, of course. I'd much rather watch the actual members. I find Kevin to be adorable :]
Good memories indeed.
Brilliant.
Did you know... David J and Kevin Haskins are brothers?!?
the fucking bubblemen lol.
@elilichtenberg I so agree, the music is amazing! But today we have to endure seeing the top 40 artists sell millions when they should be slapped and told that they are a lie
who is the Flowerpot Man? btw song is great :)
Love & Rockets is playing at Coachella 2008 if any of you are so inclined..;)
I ground my teeth to this a lot about 20 years ago...
Sorry you found it terrifying! I think it's so cute. My fave part is at the end when the bubbleman is on the motorcycle & gives a thumbs up! Hope they didn't give you any nightmares! Guess it's better just to stick with watching the actual members of L&R! Beside they are much cuter then the bubblemen ;) I used to have a crush on Daniel when this album came out.

David J wtf lof. That's a rattail lol And it's fluffy! I don't remember that XD
What a great video. I couldn't stop laughing at the dance around 2:11 and the pillow fight at the end. wtf is up with those round-bellied alien things? Oh, and Kevin is so adorable :] It cracked me up at 4:16 when David punched Kevin. This whole video is hilarious.
Thank you for sharing!
SEATTLE couple times. :)
