We've Got You Covered
The Flaming Lips explore what life would be like if Wayne only had a brain.
Continuing our extended feature of the Stubbs the Zombie soundtrack, this week we’ll look at a cover of “If I Only Had a Brain” by the Flaming Lips. So far, we’ve had an infectious treat with Ben Kweller’s “Lollipop” and a classic slow dance tune in Death Cab for Cutie’s rendition of “Earth Angel.”
The only way to describe what the Flaming Lips have done with “If I Only Had a Brain” is that it’s different. Bass, xylophone, bells, a clarinet, an electric instrument that’s probably the theremin and some pretty odd and almost creepy voices in the background join Wayne Coyne’s voice. However, all of the oddities in this track are things that we have come to love about the Flaming Lips.
Listen and enjoy a quality cover that will have you nodding your head and tapping your foot and maybe even cringing in fear at the maniacal laughter at the end of the track.
