1) The Tubes is a San Francisco-based theater rock band popular in the mid 1970s and early 1980s. Their eponymous 1975 debut album included the single "White Punks on Dope," while their 1983 single "She's a Beauty" was a top-10 U.S. hit and its music video was frequently played in the early days of MTV.
Known for their live performances that combined music performances, the band used many different unique costumes (in some acts they wore leotards with painted on nipples and pubic hair).

The Tubes continue performing live, with several members of the original band still in the touring lineup.
2) The Tubes is a five-piece Garage Funk band from Switzerland. Brainchild of Harry Tuttle and Barbie Tube, and formed in 2006, they released their first recordings in 2007.

The Tubes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can't get it off my mind
I've been thinking I've been dreamin'
'Bout this heart of mine
In a day we'll know, oh we'll know, yes we'll know
'Bout a heart that's strong
And a mind that is wrong
All the things you can be
Doodn doo doo doo doodn doo doodn doo
Doodn doo doo doo
Come on baby I'm in love with you
I can't get it off my mind
Mind's been foggy since I first spied that baby
I can't get it off my mind
First the sun will shine
See how bright the day
Then the rains will come
Wash away, wash away
All the blues will go
Oh we'll know, yes we'll know
Doodn doo doo doo doodn doo doodn doo
Doodn doo doo doo
Brighter day
Come on baby
The Tubes's song "Brighter Day" is a love song that expresses the intensity of the singer's feelings for his beloved. The song's opening lines are an invitation for the lover to reciprocate his feelings, and the repetition of "I can't get it off my mind" emphasizes the singer's preoccupation with his love interest. The imagery of "thinking" and "dreaming" about his heart and his beloved highlights the intensity of the singer's feelings, and how deeply consumed he is by his emotions.
The lyrics then take a hopeful turn, with the singer expressing his confidence that he and his beloved will be together, and that they will have a bright future together. He acknowledges that his mind may not always be in the right place and that his heart may be too strong, but he assures his beloved that they will make it work because they have a "strong" heart. The chorus then comes in, with the singer calling for his beloved to take his hand and see "all the things you can be", implying that they will support each other's dreams and aspirations.
The lyrics then use the metaphor of the weather changing to convey the ups and downs of a relationship. The sun shining represents the good times, while the rains and blues represent the hardships that they will inevitably face. The singer remains hopeful, however, that the blues will eventually wash away, leaving behind a brighter day.
Overall, "Brighter Day" is a song about the intense emotions of falling in love, the hope and optimism of a new relationship, and the confidence that love can overcome even the toughest of hardships.
