We are The Flaming Lips
And we are here with Andre de Ridder
He's behind me, you see him flailin' around
And this is, for those who have probably seen them
The big, big ensemble behind us is Colorado Symphony Orchestra
Yes, yes
Yeah, alright
And we are doing this record, it's called "The Soft Bulletin'"
And as best as we can we're doing it from the beginning all the way through, to the very end
And I think it's going really well, yeah
OK, so
This, this song
People have, probably, maybe a wrong impression sometimes
About the way musicians view, um, just sounds in general
And, told Andre sometimes, we have everybody in the audience
Make some version of what you think would be the sound of an insect, ok?
And he said, well, the orchestra is gonna do the same thing
They're gonna do this bad, this cacophony of things that...
We're all gonna make believe is sounding like a giant swarm of friendly insects of all types
So, we're gonna have them begin
But I do want you to be prepared to be a very, very loud swarm of whatever, whatever insect you want to be
But you must be very loud and I'll help you along, ok
Come on, Red Rocks
Let's hear some bugs
All those bugs
Buzzin' around your head
Well, they fly in the air
As you comb your hair
And the summertime will make you
Itch the mosquito bite (come on)
The buzz of love
Is busy buggin' you
Well, they fly in the air
As you comb your hair
And they're splattered up and down
Your windshield, the headlights
Well, they bite
Yeah, they bite
But you can't see them there
Yeah, they bite
Well, they bite
But you can't tell they're there (come on)
Does love buzz?
Because that's what it does
Well, they fly in the air
As you comb your hair
And the summertime will make you
Itch the mosquito bites
And they fly in the air
Comb your hair
And they're splattered up and down your windshield
The headlights
And they fly in the air
Comb your hair
Fly in the air
Comb your hair
Excellent, yeah
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you
