  • This SUCKS

  • @GUSTI74 ok

  • Mmm, great song, aaand this is the first time I dare to listen Flaming Lips.

    6 years ago, I read 'bout a top 100 covers list in a mexican magazine, a zine named "La mosca en la pared" (the fly on the wall), and the fl's coves was the 1st., the 2nd. wasJimmy Hendrix's "All along the watchtower"

  • Stupid question, but who are they covering?

  • @PeterBlueprintRev

    I'm pretty sure this is a Kylie Minogue song

  • This is just one of many Flaming Lips works. Wayne and crew are creative geniuses. 

  • @lookitsagrape1 stop ttrying to make "hipster" a word...its sad

  • Top band-especially live...good tune-great cover-nuff said.

  • A great cover. I've added to my FB page dedicated to covers. It's called "The Guilty Pleasure of the Cover Version"

  • infinitely better than kylie's version =P

  • Covers are only really cool if the band makes the song wayy different, or wayy similar to the original.

  • awesome..

  • Genius

  • I remember really liking this cover when I heard it on the radio but I'm really not sure I do now, oh well

  • 45 people are pink robots

  • Strange, although this is a much softer, quieter, and more easy-going version of the song, for some reason I find it more masculine as well...

    Or maybe I'm just fuckin' crazy. I dunno.

  • FURAPHILLIA!!!!!

  • Perfection

  • David Byrne once said that the more perfect a persons voice is the harder it is to believe what they are saying.

  • @aidschans That doesn't really ring true, Pavarotti had about the most perfect voice on the planet, he didn't seem to have a problem conveying emotion and meaning.... Sinead O'Connor had pretty perfect voice and didn't have a problem being believable when she sang nothing compares to you... And so on...

  • @somename99 As stated....... David Byrne. All are entitled to their opinion - personally I think that "Romeo and Juliet" as sung by Lisa Mitchel is one of the most beautiful versions of a classic I have heard. My opinion........ Also my opinion that there is trully nothing more emotional than music that grabs you. Peace

  • @somename99 You should check out Byrne's cover of I wanna dance with somebody. wicked stuff.

  • Steven is the best

  • cute

  • hahahaha... extremely dramatic cover

  • good very good

  • good

  • this is ahhhh-freaking-mazing.

  • seriously.. who doesn't like this song. 

  • Do people hate this song because it's not a straight forward melody they can tap their feet to, and they find it difficult to mentally process?

    Narrow minded hatin' haters.

  • uncommercialed version of this shitty song :) very good !

  • The Lips doing a Kylie cover, who'd a thunk it? I love it, though.

  • this song is a fucking classic

  • For those who immediately talk about Wayne's singing voice being really bad... that's the point.

    He's trying. He's being funny. He can't sing and he knows it and we know it.

    He's giving it his all and it'll never be good enough for everybody but it's good enough for him and his bandmates (and me). He's enjoying himself and others enjoy it they've been recording for 30 years - so what's the deal?

  • What can I say....emotional....lol

  • absolutly love this song Wayne you give me goosebumps, what an awesome voice

    Thank you so so much for sharing that talent with us

  • flaming lips made this song better

  • is that anton newbomb playing in the bear suit?

  • you don't have to be great musicians to be a great band. a little will and creativity go a long way

  • They're giving me my best musical emotions on each of their album.

    Here in France ,they're considered by the fans as living gods.

    They could be french...(humour)

    Even if Wayne sings like a dead cow,i do forgive cause we need more fools like him.

  • This is such a beautiful cover.

    See the Kylie version is like "I can't get you out of my head...but I'm gonna see you soon and we'll make out".

    This one is like "I can't get you out of my head...and I know I'm never gonna get to see you again".

  • holy happy nipples i love this song

  • Frakking Brilliant!

    Flaming Lips are the best thing to ever come from Oklahoma.

  • This band has made more covers than it's own songs. Like them, but come on...

  • Between Chris Martin and these clowns it's hard to say who is more gay or the least talented. Sure sign of a "real musician" when they need to wear silly shit to get attention rather than let their musical creativity do it.

  • @sitarro55555

    These dudes happen to be badass talented musicians, not to mention that they've been around for 20+ years. You can't possibly maintain a band that long without some sort of musicianship. As far as the costumes (or "silly shit") goes, they're smart enough to know that a live-show should be a spectacle and have been able to visual stimulation, so don't hate

  • @Chisumisfregginsexy

    You think they are "badass talented musicians", that's fine, everyone has an opinion........ that doesn't make them actually worth listening to. Yea, they know that their audience, people that like their amateurish crap, are also wasted enough to want to see joke musicians in bunny costumes, they have you figured out. They created a little niche of people that want to listen to howling vocals and mediocre musicianship, better than living under a bridge.

  • @sitarro55555 I hope you realize that you are wrong, and you will never be right. It doesn't matter what type of music you are talking about, music is all about personal preference and choice. It's impossible to say one band is better than another.

  • @sitarro55555 clearly you nothing about these guys. They are some of the most creative musicians you'll ever meet (and I have met Wayne several times). The costumes are part of their creative bent.

  • @tmlafrance

    I don't care, nothing I've heard makes me want to listen to anything else they have ever done. I've heard cats in heat sound better than that "singer".

  • @sitarro55555 well if it doesn't suit your taste then it just doesn't . But like I tell my sister, just because it's not to your taste doesn't make it bad, just not your thing.

  • so satiric...god, time flies... it's been a long time, and they look different now. but, still love their music...if you are looking for the not so intense rock songs, this might be it.

  • they are not wearing bunny suits0.o this is some serious sick shit<3

  • I like how the boy still makes sense here, it's pretty hilarious as well.

  • Drozd is really into it. Epic!!

  • I must say some people are more creative than talented others are more talented than creative.....use your own opinion to judge....hahahahahahahaha

  • simple. obsessed. love. la la la lalalalala. i wonder what kylie thinks? i think it's good.

  • very interesting cover... =]

  • I love how people always argue in the comments sections of videos, or anything else for that matter. I personally enjoy the flaming lips, if you don't that's fine, but at least provide some constructive criticism. Spouting juvenile nonsense is pointless and rather sophomoric. Keep it civil, lest you threaten the evolution of the human race. I don't mean to be dramatic, but that's just the way it is.

  • @Johnny2Fingers

    Alright, he sings like a whining twat and they look like clowns in their silly bullshit costumes. They obviously have no respect for themselves or the work they do so why should I.

  • @sitarro55555

    Dude... Chill out.

  • @sitarro55555 They're not trying to look cool.

  • @sitarro55555 well, have you ever worn a one piece item of clothing that covers your entire body? i have, they are vry comfortable and cosy, and its nice to be comfy and cosy whilst playing a gig,as they usually last a long time! also i think what the lead singer is depicting in his voice is "emotion".. sometimes when people sing the music they have created (or altered, because this is a cover, thats when people rewrite music by a different artist) they are emotional because its meaningful to em

  • @sitarro55555 they're just weird

  • @sitarro55555 This guy obviously takes life very seriously :)

  • @Johnny2Fingers TY. Completely agree! If someone hates what's posted, try to be constructive and provide mature criticism. I'm with you. I love Flaming Lips, but some only want to hear Top-40 or stuff they know or songs that don't challenge them. Their best defense is to strike out like children. Thank you for your voice of reason. Always appreciated. =)

  • @tender6273 thankx!! on it!! :)

  • Steven's voice completes perfectly Wayne's voice. Really nice cover.

  • i thought this was a cover of an electric light orchestra (which would have been right up there alley) song

  • @hotrods340s I'm starting to think the Lips are the closest thing we currently have to compare to ELO. And I can't think of a better compliment than that. :)

  • diganovafilm can u name me 5 other songs they cover.....i bet not,..i can, but i bet u cant......u suck, the flaming lips are the best band ever and without a doubt the best live act ever!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • SEE ? the FLAMING LIPS are beyond this dialogue !!!! ^~^

  • @digenovafilm .... wtf are you talking about... start searching a lil bit on the lips, then maybe, just maybe, you'll get smart

  • @digenovafilm are you really that fuckin dumb? Ever listen to The Soft Bulletin (one of the greatest albums of all time), Transmissions from the satellite heart, At war with the Mystics, Clouds taste metallic, embryonic, and even more of their unheard of garage band music? I mean are you a joke, or just retarded? Effin moron.

  • @digenovafilm study up, and come back.

  • @digenovafilm I know that looking at the search bar to the right don't really have much of their originals, however, they do play a lot of originals at their concerts, as well as some covers.

    I thumbed you down, however, ignore the other fuckers and their musical hipsterism, and if you are interested in exploring the Flaming Lips music start with "The Soft Bulletin" as was very crudely classified before..

    ONE OF TEH BEST ALBUMS OF ALL TIME!!!!1111

  • @digenovafilm ?? Clearly you came to the wrong page Sir :)

  • everything is so precise with them it's disturbing lol

  • I miss the good old days of AOL.

  • uh watz wit da bunney suits?

  • @Torrigirl2009 lol, I know right. furries!? haha

  • @Torrigirl2009 What's with the grammar?

  • @kelseyisarobot89 my grammar died in 2008

  • I love when a cover makes me enjoy a song I previously hated.

  • they at least shud change da lyric a bit, boy

  • long live the lips

  • Youtube should disable comments on all videos.

  • wow epic cover this just blue screen my laptop.EPIC

  • The guy on keys looks sorta like Tony Danza...they can't fail.

  • @simpleaudio Wait, which keyboard?

  • This cover reigns supreme

  • Nice cover

  • I like this version

  • Wayne Coyne is teh jawsome.

  • well he could be meaning it that way, but he could also mean it as in, "boy, that cake looks good." or "boy, what a great concert."

    i think when artists do covers they should try to keep all the original lyrics since they are already choosing to rework the music. it makes it like a harder challenge. especially when covering an opposite gender vocalist.

  • he could of, but that would of been lame and predictable.

  • Wow, are you a 5 year old? Give it up, there's nothing wrong with gay people. You're the one looking for covers of Kylie Minogue songs...

  • Music is a form of art. Have you ever watched a TV show or movie? Gay people play straight people and straight people play gay people all the time. You don't have much of an imagination, do you? People have been singing songs with same sex pronouns for ages.

    As someone who studies human sexuality for a living, I think there is a great deal of insecurity with your own sexuality if something like *this* triggers such a "freak out."

  • Good point. Remember, kids, the actor/singer/writer is not always the character in the work. If musicians could only sing about themselves, we'd have way too many songs about how awesome it is to be a celebrity swimming in money. Besides, that's what rap is for.

  • @xsuzheartx aaahahahaha good burn!! :D hahaha

  • @xsuzheartx agreed

  • Are you saying that only a fag would listen to Kylie Minogue, are you using that as some kind of put down? Aren't you being a bit hypocritical, it's not really a put down if you actually believe that there's nothing wrong with homosexuals?

    Actually, I had never heard these pathetic versions of the song by these hacks or by the dildos known as cold play...... both are worse than amateurish noise, I've

    heard garage bands sound more professional.

  • @sitarro55555

    I would love to know what garages you go to! Sounds like some pretty amazing garage shows you've been to!

  • @sitarro55555 1. The f-word is a bigoted word. 2. It's only a put down to people who think there's something wrong with being gay. 3. No one can deny Kylie has a huge gay fanbase.

  • @xsuzheartx

    Grow up xsucks, words can only hurt you if you let them. It's not the "f-word", it's faggot. It's also not the "n-word", it's nigger. People like you give mere words way too much power.

  • @xsuzheartx

    Grow up xsucks, words can only hurt you if you let them. It's not the "f-word", it's faggot. It's also not the "n-word", it's nigger. People like you give mere words way too much power.

    Also, did I mention that these guys suck dick?

  • @sitarro55555 Haters gonna hate.

    Hate away, i'd suck their dicks if given the chance. Man i'm a fag.

  • @sitarro55555 "Also, did I mention that these guys suck dick?" Well, they're not doing that here--they're playing a song--so is that something you learned from personal experience?

  • then it wouldnt have been a very accurate cover, would it?

  • Estan bromenado estos weyes, pero les salio chingon el cover

  • NOOOO SI SABEN KYLIE ES MEJOR

  • they blow me away with everything that they do.

  • Fuckin Amazing... Hell yeah

  • JAJAAJAJAJA!!!!! wow XD its so weard Im not sure if i like it,butt 4 sure they are great musitians

  • Eww - Learn to spell.

  • whos this a cover of?

  • Kylie Minogue... but this is the most beautiful thing I've ever heard! :D

  • this is a cover of Kylie Minogue. Kind of a one hit wonder.

  • to you and your bubble because the woman has been a hit with ALL of her albums worldwide

  • they do the best covers this and their cover of Just Like Starting Over by JL are both amazing

  • totally!!  THere amazing but there passionate twists to others songs are to me.. mind blowing :)

  • their bunny suits, of course. yay

  • That is an AWESOME version :D

  • brilliant!

  • They make the song Epic alas Ennio Morricone ;)

  • No! Marry me!!!!

  • MARRY ME WAYNE!

  • awesome :) cool cover

  • wayne is god. and so is karen o. but so is wayne.

  • bwaahahaha! wtf are they wearing!?! lol!

  • hell yeah

  • This is amazing!!!

  • the flaming pussy lips...haha.

  • I'm sure if your genre was pycodelic/ pop you would have to sing like that too. He doesn't have to sing like frickin michael Bolton. That isn't his genre to do so. Wayne sings like that on purpose because this is the kind of music you listen to when your fucked up. Duh.

  • ITS LOVE!!!! (Me for them, that is.)

  • lets face it, wayne isn't a very good singer by any traditional standard. but that doesn't make him any less of an amazing and brilliant singer and songwriter.

  • this one just as good

  • he mean't to sing like that assface

  • Wayne Coyne's voice is one of the few voices I wish I had, your taste of music must really suck.

  • love the animal suits...lol

  • the Flaming Lips rock your mom's flaming vajay

  • kylie minogue should b more than proud of this!!!!

    the flaming lips r simply amazing...

  • the best review kylie has ever got

  • instrumentation reminds me of early King Crimson's "Epitaph", a really fine song

  • I agree - but they clearly must be prog fans. Theyre stage show featured a screen very alike to Floyd's P.U.L.S.E. one, and have you listened to "Pompeii Am Götterdämmerung" off AWWTM? Sounds like a cross between King Crimson and Genesis in my opinion.

  • the perfect pop song, so many different covers of it already!

  • ole!

  • got to love them

  • 8-) Love these dudes

  • no mames k buen concepto chido me late cuando hay gente experimentando y covers con tata creatividad

  • lol....so what, they made it even more awesome.

  • its the lips what can ya do,.. noobs lol

  • lol i like it :D

  • who ever knew this would be a cover song. lol this is even better than their cover of crazy =)

  • I KNOW!!

  • fucking awesome

  • Every bit as terrible as the original, but at least it's not worse.

  • original rocks

  • They both do.

  • entra cantando horrible el chabon!

  • Excellent, totally
