This video captures Saturday Night Live alum star Fred Armisen trying out to be the new lead singer of The Flaming Lips. As Armisen takes over the band from Wayne Coyne, he does his best to make the group sound like something besides The Flaming Lips. Do not worry Lips fans, the video comes from Funny or Die. Besides, Armisen is too busy with IFC’s Portlandia and leading the band for NBC’s Late Night with Seth Meyers. So, relax and check out the funny video.
One of my favorite parts of the video is when Coyne sings a part of the wonderful song “Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots Pt. 1,” which is from the 2002 album, Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots. If you want to hear more of that song, check out this live 2011 performance at the Eden Project in Cornwall.
