As previously reported, The Flaming Lips and Tame Impala are releasing a cover album of each other's music. The two bands begin touring together this month and have recorded covers "Runway, Houses, City Clouds" and "Elephant" (covered by the Flaming Lips) and "Are You A Hypnotist" and "Silver Trembling Hands" (covered by Tame Impala). The joint EP will be available at their upcoming shows: Oct. 29 in Los Angeles at the Greek Theatre, Oct. 31 in San Francisco at Bill Graham Civic Auditorium and Nov. 1 in Santa Barbara at Santa Barbara Bowl.
Today, The Flaming Lips unveiled a video of their cover of "Elephant." In the clip, Wayne Coyne is holding a metallic sheet that he seems to be using as elephant ears. The remake stays true to the original but has that wonky Lips flair to it. Watch it for yourself here, and let us know what you think in the comments section below.
