That's awful, why did they bother. If one more person puts Nick Drake's River Man on a compilation, I'm gunna scream...or cut the strings on their acoustic...

After a little research it appears that that Flamming Lips track is sort of a cover of 2 songs at once. Obviously it's Seven Nation Army, but the lyrics are loosely based on a Butthole Surfers track called "Moving to Florida".
