Wayne Coyne Sings With Goat, Lasers

3:39 PM EDT on October 3, 2006

This first clip is from the children's show Pancake Mountain. The Flaming Lip joins Rufus on a duet of our favorite guilty pleasure "We Built This City." Really, we love it even though it's the "worst song ever."

At The Flaming Lips' Hammerstein show on 9/24, the band decided to mix up their usual, aliens-and-santas confetti extravaganza by giving audience members laser pens, meant to be simultaneously directed at a giant mirror Wayne would hold up during "Vein Of Stars"...

But later, the trigger-happy crowd spontaneously directed their beams at a huge, white inflate-a-ball. You'll hear Wayne break song and say that it's "one of the coolest things I've ever seen," and our friends at the show whole-heartedly concur.

Always upping their game, those Lips! But listen to how he drawls, "Wow. Ohhh. That is just ... magic." Sometimes Wayne reminds us of Bob Ross.
