Sharks has always been their "Pink Floyd" song to me.
Just listen to the music in the first minute and a half of this song - trippy.
And computer speakers do not do it justice - headphones are great for music. If you do not have a good pair of headphones - go get them now - headphones are essential to music.

SHARKS: (Right Click and "Save As")

Of what's been listed so far, I think the best submittals are:

Yawning or Snarling
Sharks
Sherpa
Put it Off
Escape is at Hand (moreso a "mood-evoker" than trippy....)

Might I add "Butts Wigglin"....and in another sort of mood-evoking way, "The Bear".

Though I still don't think of anything Hip when I think of "trippy".....

If it's messed up lyrics, I always refer to The Luxury.

zoo lion sobers up and starts to scream and shout
a little dose of home-fire got him all smoothed out
melancholy wine-soaked tenderness
she hated it here and she couldn't care less

prisonyard stares and fleur-de-lis tattoos
cannibals are saving all their bones for soup
eating with my fingers and sucking hulls of ships
my parasite don't deserve no better than this

I prefer "blowin' my coke", but I'll give 'er a try.

Tiger the Lion. That song scares me. Especially that bizarre cello-sounding loop that runs through the song. I believe Johnny mentioned at one point that it was actually a guitar that made the initial sound, and then they ran it through a synthesizer in order to get the weird noise.

Other trippy Hip tunes:
Put it Off
Pigeon Camera
Sherpa
Escape is at Hand...
Yawning or Snarling
Good Life
Throwing Off Glass
The Bear

I've blown the doors off a few unsuspecting (and really baked) non-hipsters with a full-volume Dark Canuck, and the Hiccups intro to Daredevil always makes me think of a Dead show, for just the reason we are discussing. The Live 10 version is especially clear and crisp, but there's a version from Boulder or somewhere in '96(?) that rocks me every time I hear it.

The version from High Sierra 95 is killer too :thumb:
