Flaming Lips Freakout 2011- I Can Be A Frog

Another awesome song from Freakout 2011. The shaky camera at the end is when my gorilla of a son thought he had to beat on me like a Samsonite suitcase at the monkey part.

@swickey  LUCKY!

@boundlessdesign all that to say - I would suggest showing up insanely early to a show and volunteering to help since all Lips shows take a full day and sometimes more to set up. Remember if you don't ask, the answer is always no. It was truly amazing to see how many people volunteered to pull off NYE. They aren't loaded by any means so without such devoted fans, they wouldn't be able to put on such awesome shows.

@boundlessdesign sorry just saw this question. I go to the music school that the Lips' manager is the CEO of. I told him it was a lifelong dream to dance onstage, but he said the dancers are usually reserved for family and close friends. I helped them blow up balloons for two 8 hour days (fuckin seriously, I couldn't believe it - my hands hurt so bad) and they said they would get me a VIP pass whatever that is. The day of the show they surprised me when the box office had 2 dance passes for me!

@swickey How does one go about getting to be a character on stage?

Thanks SO MUCH for sharing a video of this song!!! That was SO much fun!! It was my 3rd NYE Freakout in a row. Wouldn't want to be anywhere else on NYE. I took my two youngest kids this year and they had a freakin' BLAST!! :)
