how did a talented soulster like Cat Power manage to make a raging Black Sabath rant on war sound like a drunk Hannah Montana cut? Everything else about this was great
I generally like Cat Power, but one thing musicians have to understand...if you can't do the song justice then don't come off all "willy nilly" and off key and then try to make it sound good. This song is not for everyone. Thanks for playing a fantastic tune and trying to have a good time with it, but please don't ever let anyone hear it. People don't judge you by the music you play, they judge you by the music you let them hear.
Almost gave Cat Power credit for trying, but she just failed a bit too much on a stage like that one. She does her thing, but she doesn't do someone else's so well...
thats some grungitta grit ridiculous barfington Wellington singing...someone ought to take a Fleenda Granshmeyer 2500 and cut their lawn-stage with it because that version was like brand new fresh, warm still steaming olive green peanut riddled lion shit being brought out by dog sled in stacked 5 lb buckets that are always teetering and threatening to fall over because the dogs are fed a steady diet of caffinated weinershnitzels which causes them to Morse code bark "this version rrrrots"
Too much vocal fuc*ing around here, SING THE FUC$ING SONG! I like Cat Power and Flaming Lips but this is like a high school garage party with a fuc*ed up cover band hacking up songs.
Well apparently the FL are not fans of the war. I guess they are fans of brutal dictatorships and oppressive religious regimes doing the killing instead.
@Bcasey11 was that an argument, or were you just pissed because I responded to an overt video againt US wars?? And I fought in the war boy, so my reliance on mainstream media is not really necessary.
@verkpunk You know well and good that this war was about oil and nothing else. George W. Bush could have given two shits if he freed the Iraqis and they just used WMDs as an excuse to go in there. Cause they found them right? Seriously the Iraq War is/was a fucking joke we didn't need to be there the terrorists who attack the Twin Towers were funded by Saudi Arabia so the Iraq War was about oil and nothing more. Anyways its not our job to police the fucking world.
remember seeing this when on PBS originally ... its freak'n great fun..and a sweet tune to Cover! ... realize How great a song It is... Kudos to Ozzie or whomever Pen' d it. (?) ... recall playing with early version of Flaming Lips in Houston 1989 ata small club. (F'Lips-Run Westy Run+ ?)
Its become apparent the none of you twats have ever listened to cat power before. So if you don't like her you can fuck off. If you listened to her music you could understand this video isn't about sounding great, it more have a good time they're all laughing though it. And if you can't see the humour in this you obviously don't get The Flaming Lips either.
sorry, but she actually sucks in singing...ok, she's havin' a good time, but remember she suposses to be a singer... big fail, cause she doesnt even had the correct attitude to do that.
Besides the perform is on TV, if she wants to sounds like shit then a concert is the right place to do it.
every single clip i see of the lips, i am always captivated by the sounds that steven drozt is making. He may not garner the same attention of wayne coyne but is always providing an essential element to the music. Also way to go to him for kicking heroin

people these drum are very good but do your selves a favor and watch bill ward play the drums to this song. and btw this was the worst cover of all time
there concepts are total genius, like wayne coming over the crowd in a ball, dancers in animal costumes onstage, the camera fitted in his microphone, the blood over the face, the high powered lights he beams. There amazing and the band are like chameleons, they can completely change their sound, look at them with beck, no many bands can back another artist, i think them and the black lips are the best at that.

is this cat power chick a fuckin joke. this is definitley one of the best songs ever made. she just desecrates it. so sad, no appreciation for music. a total hippie phony.
Uh it's not a solo, but sorta another song. It's called Luke's Wall and is normally played together with War Pigs, it's like Queen's We Will Rock You/We Are the Champions or Led Zeppelin's Heartbreaker/Living Loving Maid
