The Flaming Lips - The Tale Of The Horny Frog



With much anticipation building over The Flaming Lips latest epic film debut, Christmas On Mars, not to mention all the music that's entirely likely to come with it, the Lips have puckered up something really juicy: their new single.

This is the would be fairy tale of "The Tale Of The Horny Frog," for Ben Stiller's latest strut in comedic entertainment, The Heartbreak Kid. I can't say I'm very fond of the movie's potential, but unlike my predictions for success in that respect, The Flaming Lips have once again turned one of the many things they've touched into gold. Released (as far as I can tell) exclusively to Stereogum, The Tale Of The Horny Frog is an upbeat, bouncy piece of randomness that only the Oklahoma natives can seem to ever dream up, which details the heroic journey of a frog! That should be tempting enough to go straight to listening if you know the first thing about The Flaming Lips, but in case your still apprehensive, think of it as Sesame Street as an alcoholic... or just your typical episode of Wonder Showzen, your choice.
