Premier of "The Yeah Yeah Yeah Song" review
I was fortunate enough to be able to visit the Egyptian Theatre on Hollywood Blvd (were you there?) Monday night where they played the world premier of the Lips new video by Traktor. (thank you res.com)
First of all, the interviews you read where Wayne was excited to be working with Lions etc. did not transpire. The only animal in the shoot I recall seeing was actually some human in a ware wolf costume.
I was able to ask the representative from Traktor why the last minute change of plans? He explained to the some 300 attending that their budget of $150,000 was quickly spent other ways not leaving enough to include the live animals.
Still the video turned out to be a gas! Wayne had taken ideas from watching some Japanese television. You begin seeing nearly nude obese boys turned loose in an arena (shot in a remote location not far from Magic Mountain Theme Park per Traktor) to devour some blue collar member of the general population that had been prepped by three or four prancing Asian young ladies who taped cheese burgers all over his body.
Wayne starts out the powerful ruler overseer and Steven Drozd, Michael Ivins, and Kliph Scurlock are all dressed as his guards. I was very happy to see Kliph's inclusion as he's really become a legitimate 4th member in many a mind.
It winds up at the end of this video, which was more like a miniature "Hey Hey We're The Monkees" episode, that Wayne is overtaken in some coup and adorned with steak meat and the ware wolf chases him around a bit while the populous chased the rest of the band.
Last scene I recall he was Wayne comfortably sitting next to and feeding the ware wolf by peeling steak off his forehead. Absolutely a must see!!! In addition to being a thoroughly entertaining video the song itself ROCKS!

Hasn't anybody heard about The Pink Snowflakes? Oh man do the sound like what the flaming lips did if they kept on the 1993-1997 track - YOU MUST HEAR THEM
