Video: Flaming Lips: "She Don't Use Jelly" (live at the Oklahoma Zoo)
If you've noticed the friendly critters at your local zoo getting fidgety lately, here's why: The space invaders have almost landed. Which means, of course, on YouTube they're already here. The Flaming Lips have sent out this live video of their 1993 hit "She Don't Use Jelly" ahead of the July 10 touchdown for new DVD U.F.O.s at the Zoo: The Legendary Concert in Oklahoma City, on Warner Bros. Records. The clip has all the balloons, confetti, audience singalongs, and offbeat charm you've come to expect. "Fuck yes, everybody," frontman Wayne Coyne exults. So tell the animals to relax, already: We're still not sure how a song about Vaseline, tangerines, and magazines managed to crack 90s radio, but at least we know these aliens are friendly.
BONUS: The Flaming Lips play the same song on "Beverly Hills, 90210":
