The video begins with a naked girl blindfolded in a creek, sipping at the juices from a giant weeping coconut (a coconut of the female persuasion it would seem), then as the song kicks off she proceeds to dance, limbs flailing, through streets, parks and car parks, rhythmically flicking yellow liquid from her squiggly nether regions. And who said Lady Gaga was controversial? You really have to watch this one yourself and reap your own profound post-modern meaning from it. Check it out below:
You might recall the Flaming Lips’ produced and released a sci-fi feature film entitled Christmas on Mars back in 2008 after 7 years in development. Apparently 7 years wasn’t long enough either; the film directed by Coyne and featuring the band as cast-members, receiving mixed-poor reviews.
Despite his “no holes barred” creative genius, Wayne Coyne is infamous for his over inflated ego; perhaps partially to blame for the film’s lethargic plot progression.
Ego’s fortunately seem to go hand in hand with a wicked sense of humour which is the case with Coyne (fairly safe to say where his other hand is). Check out some of his twitter rants:
“I think the best costume that can be worn is just people hanging around naked. When you’re with the Flaming Lips there is usually a bunch of naked freaks running around.”
“Most of the good rock things that I've done were actually done before I was in a rock band, like doing cocaine and having sex with people that you don't really know.”
“I want you to know your boobs are beautiful. They’re just wrong for my film, that’s all.”
