Artist: Flaming Lips
Song: Watching The Planets
Album: Embryonic (2009)
The Flaming Lips came from Oklahoma City, emerging in 1983 with their strange sound almost fully formed.

The Flaming Lips' Wayne Coyne has bared all on their new promo for 'Watching The Planets'.
The video features Coyne being stripped naked by a gang of nude people in a forest.

But those pics didn't suggest the biggest revelation, that being the big reveal of Wayne's coyne. Yep he gets naked, just like the rest. "Killing the ego" indeed. (Or, inflating it. Depending on your angle. And his.) If you've seen the Lips during this summer or beyond, when they've been playing new stuff, you likely remember their stage entrance through those psychedelically undulating vaginal lips. Well those make an appearance too, in spirit, and Wayne takes a terrible old Truly Tasteless Joke -- you spend nine months of your life trying to get out, and the rest of your life trying to get back in -- to its illogical extreme.
Directed by Wayne Coyne and George Salisbury
