It is Justin Timberlake, he met them on a radio station interview and Wayne asked him to play with them. He was already a fan of the Lips and they are known for having random guest appearances at their shows.
In lots of videos he sings that way, but in some others not. I had the luck to watch them live and the performance was fantastic, no struggle to sing, was perfect!! and i just love them since then.
The Flaming Lips put on one of the best shows I've ever been to. And some people just don't understand tham. This song is supposed to be a joke. I mean... robots eating people, come on.
please come save me. the pink robots have held me hostage in my house for days now. Im lucky I got access to this computer right. I need help. These evil natured robots are programmed to destroy us!
there's the same old adage. blame the drugs. when you play show after show night after night your voice also gets that way. without mind expanding drugs you might as well be listening to the backstreet boys because that's the only music that would exist. why don't you take some drugs and just enjoy this great music wayne puts out!
What does the bunny whisper to Timberlake at the very end? Probably the secret to having total consciousness on his deathbed. So he's got that going for him.
@LOVEnViolenceXXX Wrong sir. The problem in this video is that the person taking the place of the bassist is unplugged (you can't hear it at all). Vocals are supposed to be imperfect, because they're the Flaming Lips. Get some respect.
I love The Flaming Lips and I love Wayne's voice on recorded songs. But his voice is lousy live. Still, I'll go to the show next month. It looks like a kick.
first of all, have you ever heard of a metaphor? second, even if these songs didnt have meaning i would still listen to it anyways. it would take away a little bit of the enjoyment but the song itself is well written.
they dress up like bunnies, frogs and there are dancers dressed as something on stage at thier live shows. The bunnys are just something Flaminglips does i dunno???
I don't think they are playing their instruments in this. When the chords change at the beginning, Wayne hardly moves his fingers. So Maybe Timberlake isn't really playing after all.
oh gueon me decepcioné a cagar no existe que sea tan desafinado el loco y yo que encontraba que es la cancion mas linda en la existencia unviersal T________________T
This is not at all the best i have heard wayne's voice live. However i really liked the way the guitarist played with the wammy pedal to simulate the synth in the song. I geek out for that kind of shit
@thepoorhillbilly- "...But I wouldn't want to do acid because I don't like it. It just freaks me out." ~Wayne Coyne in a recent interview with Rolling Stone. But, not sure if you're aware but there was this little band back in the 60's called, The Beatles who dressed in animal costumes and played pop songs...but I mean really, they didn't have any kind of impact on music at all right? Go put in some Puddle of Mud and hate life...

It is Justin Timberlake, I saw it when it was on TV years ago.
damn this is a long time ago, sounds so nice
Im back here again. It's been a while
mark ruffalo? awesome song!!
They would, and they do.
how awesome would it be to be one of those guys in the animal suits dancing onstage??
wow, for once the "we recommend these videos for you" section payed off, this is pretty sick
@fireproofpants Yep! And doing a damn good job of it as well!
The Flaming Lips put on one of the best shows I've ever been to. And some people just don't understand tham. This song is supposed to be a joke. I mean... robots eating people, come on.
Used to love seeing these guys when Austin was Austin
haha tomorrow night..........on the banks of loch ness. Mr Coyne i will see you there.
RockNess 09' boo yea !
please come save me. the pink robots have held me hostage in my house for days now. Im lucky I got access to this computer right. I need help. These evil natured robots are programmed to destroy us!
steven's guitar sounds great with the chorus on it
Cortana told me this is her favorite song
tocaron el año pasado aqui
Love this song. I suppose Justin Timberlake was a big fan too to appear with them?
This is straight truth.
Its biographical.
no metaphor involved
I actually remember hearing about this...yes, that is Justin Timberlake playing bass. Gives him street cred in my book.
Wayne will never be a technically good singer but he's got so much to make up for it. I love them to bits!
@Papapas9 I think the voices are part of the charm.
TRY natevafestival website
The campsites are within 5 minutes of the Main Stage !
July 2-4 2010 Oxford Maine FURTHUR FLAMING LIPS MOE UMPREYS MCGEE
18 in the charts!? Does anyone know what it got too because thats crazy.
He means the bass player, and yeah, it does look like him lol
@orangepatriot85
I say he looks like Roberto Donadoni, not Mourinho...
oh they look so cute! what has the world come to?
Yes. They talk about it on the Nardwuar interview
justin is actually a huge flaming lips fan i heard.
there's the same old adage. blame the drugs. when you play show after show night after night your voice also gets that way. without mind expanding drugs you might as well be listening to the backstreet boys because that's the only music that would exist. why don't you take some drugs and just enjoy this great music wayne puts out!
15 people battled the pink robots... and lost.
What does the bunny whisper to Timberlake at the very end? Probably the secret to having total consciousness on his deathbed. So he's got that going for him.
Obviously....there needs to be an 11 minute version of this song
whats funny is he is saying yoshime in the song :P
justin timber lake on bass.
my 6th grade teacher played this inclass
@McPhisto47 He's been singing like that since they started.
he looks like jose mourino
@fireproofpants Justin Timberlake is holding a bass- but no bass sounds are coming out of it.
Obviously you've never seen them live.
Best band of all times. :(
LMMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!! Is that really him? I looked like 100 times still can't tell.
mourinho and justin timberlake playing together in a band... didn't see that comming
@ThePoorhillbilly Yes, because no other other pop/rock star has ever had addiction problems in his/her past, ever. What's the world coming to?
Man this song makes me feel like I have to go kiss my ex
@orangepatriot85 or like Alfonso Cuaron, mexican film director
I think he's playing bass the whole time
@fireproofpants Yep it was him mate
he's mourinho with a 12string
Switch "good" with "pretentious" or "arcane" and you might be more accurate.
Note, i'm a huge fan and just saw them yesterday at pitchfork in Chicago.
0:36
It sounds like he's choking on the words. Like he's actually struggling to say them. Bad throat? was he exhausted? Just wondering.
this is such a weird song... but it cracks me up... it's like they let some 10 year old kid from tokyo loose on the sound effects...
xxxxxx
the lips are more than Wayne's voice.
jajaja
wow, the music and the feeling are brutal, but the lyrics... not even a 10 year old child would write them. I do
love this song anyway
lmao. if ever someone takes drugs their voice instantly becomes messed up XD
@LOVEnViolenceXXX Wrong sir. The problem in this video is that the person taking the place of the bassist is unplugged (you can't hear it at all). Vocals are supposed to be imperfect, because they're the Flaming Lips. Get some respect.
@kpowell117 go to benderconverter or something
you can't persecute a man for having soul
I love The Flaming Lips and I love Wayne's voice on recorded songs. But his voice is lousy live. Still, I'll go to the show next month. It looks like a kick.
first of all, have you ever heard of a metaphor? second, even if these songs didnt have meaning i would still listen to it anyways. it would take away a little bit of the enjoyment but the song itself is well written.
I love them!! But I'll admit that didn't sound too good in this performance
His voice is cracking
so
they dress up like bunnies, frogs and there are dancers dressed as something on stage at thier live shows.
The bunnys are just something Flaminglips does i dunno???
Did anybody notice that Justin Timberlake is playing bass on this performance??? its quite odd i think !!!
I love The Flaming Lips even when the voices sound as shitty as this
Who steal his voice
I don't think they are playing their instruments in this. When the chords change at the beginning, Wayne hardly moves his fingers. So Maybe Timberlake isn't really playing after all.
It's not that bad, fucking hell. I thought his voice was fine.
WTF!?! Is that Justin Timberlake playing base or am i just really fucking stoned!?
Amazing this song didn't become a big big hit. People are brain damaged.
oh gueon me decepcioné a cagar
no existe que sea tan desafinado el loco
y yo que encontraba que es la cancion mas linda en la existencia unviersal T________________T
? what iiis wrong with him?
probably not even plugged in
This is not at all the best i have heard wayne's voice live. However i really liked the way the guitarist played with the wammy pedal to simulate the synth in the song. I geek out for that kind of shit
jkp
@hobbit151
Wayne Coyne loses his voice very easily. Listen to the orginal.
@thepoorhillbilly- "...But I wouldn't want to do acid because I don't like it. It just freaks me out." ~Wayne Coyne in a recent interview with Rolling Stone. But, not sure if you're aware but there was this little band back in the 60's called, The Beatles who dressed in animal costumes and played pop songs...but I mean really, they didn't have any kind of impact on music at all right?

No. That's just how he sounds live. He claims to have been clean for years.
The song is so amazing that his vocal chords could not keep up. Also, Its Wayne Coyne; He is allowed to sound how he wants in HIS songs.
