Buggin' (feat. The Colorado Symphony & André de Ridder) - Live

Lyrics

We are The Flaming Lips
 ♪
 And we are here with Andre de Ridder
 He's behind me, you see him flailin' around
 And this is, for those who have probably seen them
 The big, big ensemble behind us is Colorado Symphony Orchestra
 Yes, yes
 ♪
 Yeah, alright
 And we are doing this record, it's called "The Soft Bulletin'"
 And as best as we can we're doing it from the beginning all the way through, to the very end
 And I think it's going really well, yeah
 OK, so
 This, this song
 People have, probably, maybe a wrong impression sometimes
 About the way musicians view, um, just sounds in general
 And, told Andre sometimes, we have everybody in the audience
 Make some version of what you think would be the sound of an insect, ok?
 And he said, well, the orchestra is gonna do the same thing
 They're gonna do this bad, this cacophony of things that...
 We're all gonna make believe is sounding like a giant swarm of friendly insects of all types
 ♪
 So, we're gonna have them begin
 But I do want you to be prepared to be a very, very loud swarm of whatever, whatever insect you want to be
 But you must be very loud and I'll help you along, ok
 ♪
 Come on, Red Rocks
 Let's hear some bugs
 ♪
 All those bugs
 Buzzin' around your head
 ♪
 Well, they fly in the air
 As you comb your hair
 And the summertime will make you
 Itch the mosquito bite (come on)
 ♪
 The buzz of love
 Is busy buggin' you
 Well, they fly in the air
 As you comb your hair
 And they're splattered up and down
 Your windshield, the headlights
 Well, they bite
 Yeah, they bite
 But you can't see them there
 Yeah, they bite
 Well, they bite
 But you can't tell they're there (come on)
 ♪
 Does love buzz?
 Because that's what it does
 Well, they fly in the air
 As you comb your hair
 And the summertime will make you
 Itch the mosquito bites
 And they fly in the air
 Comb your hair
 And they're splattered up and down your windshield
 The headlights
 And they fly in the air
 Comb your hair
 Fly in the air
 Comb your hair
 ♪
 Excellent, yeah
 Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you
