Watch: The Flaming Lips Cover Tame Impala’s "Elephant"

Oklahoma-based psychedelic band The Flaming Lips have shared a video for their cover of Tame Impala's killer tune "Elephant".

As many of you know, the band are touring with Tame Impala, and they will also release a split EP featuring covers of each other's songs, which will be available at their upcoming dates in California later this month.

Along with "Elephant", Wayne Coyne and Co. recorded a version of "Runway, Houses, City, Clouds", while Tame Impala have returned the favor with renditions of "Are You a Hypnotist?" and "Silver Trembling Hands".

Check out the video below.

Watch: The Flaming Lips Unveil New (NSWF) Video For "You Lust"

The Flaming Lips have unveiled a sci-fi-type video for the track "You Lust", taken from their new album 'The Terror', out now via Warner Brothers.

The video features a four-minute edit of the album's thirteen-minute version and features some extra-visceral type of nudity. 

Talking about the video, Flaming Lips' Steven Drozd said: "I had nothing to do with it. Not one thing. Wayne sent me an early edit and asked my thoughts. That was about it. If Wayne has something he wants to try with the rest of the band members, then we’ll be thrown in. But if we’re not needed, then he doesn't involve us. That’s fine with me."

"The nudity in the video isn't glamorous or sexy. It’s very stark and disturbing. I think that’s a bold move. There are some shots when you go, 'That’s an interesting angle to shoot a flaccid penis from...' But Wayne isn't shy about being naked."

Watch the video below.
