Sometimes, when checking our archives to determine whether a video has already been featured on the Daily Psychedelic Video, I end up a little alarmed to find that I’ve stumbled across certain videos all on my own. I can’t imagine what led me to this particular find, but I feel quite certain that it belongs here.
Last night, my husband and I were watching old episodes of that 1970’s daytime TV mayhem known as The Gong Show, and remembering how much joy it brought to our childhoods. Created and emceed by Chuck Barris, The Gong Show, featured a variety of acts judged and often gonged by celebrity judges. In this clip, The Mystic Knights of the Oingo Boingo, take over the stage in psychedelic outfits and over the top musicianship. Can you spot famous movie soundtrack composer (Batman, Pee Wee’s Big Adventure, Edward Scissorhands) Danny Elfman?
Sometimes psychedelia lies in a total lack of context. When I envision an alien race observing life on Earth for the first time, I imagine an experience like watching this video. Hopefully they have a sense of humor.
For you Spanish speakers out there, and for all those who like their Jesus in a psychedelic flavor, Manuel Bonilla sings the glory of creation in psychedelic children-styled animation. See the full show below.

Thirty years ago, Marcel left Spain to escape the military service, leaving his family and his social life. After living in a hippie community, he took refuge in the jungle of Costa Rica, where he lives alone, naked and in complete harmony with nature. Marcel discovered himself healer and practice rituals of taking ayahuasca, inducing visions and epiphanies that earned him the epithet of entheogen (Inner God generator). Only a few visitors joined him- here, young women in search of truth, such nymphs listening a shaggy Pan .
In the silence of the jungle…
In France, April fools day is called “Poisson d’avril” meaning April Fish.
Here is a 2009 scientific discovery in Indonesia, h.Psychedelica is a weird fish:
Unlike any other known species of fish, H. psychedelica hops along the reefs where it lives, using its fins to push off the surface while squirting jets of water from a gill opening on each side. Other types of frogfish have been observed jettisoning themselves from the ocean floor before swimming but none have been seen hopping. With its tail curled to one side, it has the appearance of a fish without purpose or control. It seems to bounce randomly from rock to rock, protected from sharp coral by thick, gelatinous folds of skin.
About the size of an adult fist, the fish also has forward-facing eyes, leading to speculation that it may have binocular vision much like humans.
This drug abuse educational film portrays an animated fantasy based upon the characters in “Alice in Wonderland.” The film shows Alice as she toured a strange land where everyone had chosen to use drugs, forcing Alice to ponder whether drugs were the right choice for her. The “Mad Hatter” character represents Lysergic Acid Diethylamide (LSD), the “Dormouse” represents sleeping pills, and the “King of Hearts” represents heroin. Ultimately, Alice concluded that drug abuse is senseless.
