most wtf lyric in Jefferson Airplane's "Planes"

I was just watching a video of them playing "Eskimo Blue Day" from 1970 yesterday. Their songs were so experimental.

That spring break video is a weird as hell mix of things. Easy to see why Grace Slick might had to down quite a varied cocktail of chemicals to get through an abstract day like that one.

I can't decide who is less comfortable looking at the camera, Grace or Jorma. Compensating in different ways obv

I love plaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanes - JET AIRCRAFT

i still believe i hallucinated this song and video

Wasn't Paul Kantner always terrible though? That's what I surmised from my investigations into JA.

No.

I love planes, jet aircraft
I love planes, sensual aircraft
Here come the planes.
They're American planes. Made in America.
Smoking or non-smoking?

I LOVE PLANES

Sensual aircraft

jet, jet, jet aircraft

And the little boy is still like a little boy, and he met another
Little girl, and they made another little boy
And the new little guy still loves planes and flying things
And both his mother and father love him and
Hold him and hug him whenever he needs it and
Soon will send him lovingly to the centre of the sky,

I like to pretend Jefferson Airplane broke up after Surrealistic Pillow and all of the members of the band retired into a hippie commune

jet, jet, jet aircraft

This is one of the most horrific videos ever. The way they are just hamming it up and mugging at the camera is so cringeworthy. The part when Clarke Gable creeps into the little boy's room while he is sleeping . . . .

and I don't know wtf Grace Slick is doing with her eyes

sensual aircraft

And his mother didn't want him and his father was always working, so he/Just set his head to the center of the sky and

some of the superimposed backgrounds are done as awkwardly as a driving scene in a 40s Dick Tracy movie.

also omg, the opening riff kinda sounds like it's gonna be badass, then "I love planes" comes in and ruins the momentum.

lol @ Grace pointing at the plane as if we don't know what it is.

also why is the song clearly about flying airplanes and we keep seeing rockets flying

planes and wings and flying things, tbf

also, could be the song takes place in a world where the goal of the Apollo program was to reach not the Moon, but "the center of the sky"

^love this theory

i don't get it do they want to fuck the plane

MONEY PLANE

The Song of Elon

Hello edgelords my old friends

What is that shot at 3:44 (right after “sensual aircraft”), where Jack is palling around w/some kind of Moses figure(?)

Btw – the KBC Band “America” video (which timellison posted on March 7, 2017) is a masterpiece, and that song should be the f’n national anthem.

I managed to make it to the ripe old age of 52 without actually hearing this song; I actively avoided everything about it at the time. And . . . why did you do this to me? WHY?

and his mother didn't want him and his father was always workin

This song, to me, has a genetic link with "Future Pilots," by The Red Crayola w/Art & Language (lyrics here):

It’s genuinely sad that the “little girl” from the beginning of the song doesn’t get the boy… he meets “another little girl”

I feel like we need another song about the original girl
