"Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots" is a song by The Flaming Lips Lead singer Wayne Coyne says the inspiration for the song came from a woman named Yoshimi who played with The Boredoms. He had a recording of her screaming that he thought sounded like a fight. The Boredoms were a Japanese noise-rock group from the early Nineties, with roots in the experiments of artists like Sonic Youth. They gained a small following and even played at the famous Lollapalooza festival, which showcased most major alternative rock acts of the day. The screaming on Part 2 is actually the voice of Yoshimi.
