In a ULTIMATE FUCK YOU style, the Flaming Lips just re-released their single & video for their cover Heady Fwends brilliant tune, "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face." If you remember months ago, Erykah Badu sang Amanda Palmer 's part. Erykah and her sister stared in the video in a similar artsy-nudey-tudey way in the video but with more crotch shots, glitter & fake blood. She immediately recanted the video as it "supposedly" did not have her final approval (read HERE [...]
Not sure how long this has been around but it looks like Erykah Badu has done it again with this cover of Roberta Flack's "First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" with The Flaming Lips.

Filed under: News , Exclusive , Holy Hell , Music Appreciation Facebook The Flaming Lips are awesome. We can all pretty much agree on that, right?

What started out as a collaboration has now turned into a twitter feud, initially the Flaming lips recorded a melancholy down beat track with the ethereal Ms. Badu providing vocals, this was always guaranteed to make for a pretty special and interesting musical collaboration as Erykah is always one it seems for following her heart on projects rather than doing it for the financial rewards features can often bring, It's a crying shame then considering this the Flaming lips decided to exploit Badu's contribution in the worst way.

Nicki Minaj 's beef with Hot 97 DJ Peter Rosenberg can take a back seat for now — there's a new feud in town. Erykah Badu has lashed out at Wayne Coyne and The Flaming Lips for allowing an unfinished and unapproved version of their music video "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" appear online. The band pulled down the extremely NSFW video almost immediately, and issued an apologetic statement. "The video... is unedited and unapproved. [...]

Last week The Flaming Lips made news when they released the very NSFW video for The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face, the band's collaborative track with Erykah Badu from their Record Store Day exclusive Heady Fwends. The clip, which features a scantily clad Badu and her sister Nayrock, who appears completely naked, didn't sit too well with the neo-soul singer. Yesterday, Badu posted a rather scathing open letter to Wayne Coyne, who directed the video which has since been taken down. Erkyah's letter takes shots at the Flaming Lips front [...]
Last week, we posted the video for "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face," the Erykah Badu collaboration from the Flaming Lips' collaborative album The Flaming Lips And Heavy Fwends . The video, which was truly weird and pretty uncomfortable to watch, has since been taken down, but it featured Erykah's sister Nayrok - who looks a whole lot like Erykah - rolling around very naked in glitter and blood and white goo. As it turns out, Erykah and Nayrok aren't too happy with the way this video came out. And you don't have [...]

Erykah has taken to Facebook to express her disapproval of the entire situation.

Out of nowhere, Erykah Badu has taken to Facebook to air out some beef she has with Flaming Lips front man, Wayne Coyne. In regards to the recently released "The First Time I Ever Saw Your Face" video, which was accompanied by an incredibly raunchy music video , it appears that Badu was not happy with the version that eventually found its way on the Internet. The video featured revealing shots of Badu's sister, as well as suggestive themes that would be found offensive to most. The rant is rather long, but filled with quotables that are [...]

Last week, The Flaming Lips released a video for their collaboration with Erykah Badu , "The First Time I Ever Saw Your Face". Directed by George Salisbury, the rather explicit clip featured Badu's sister, Nayrok, naked and covered in various strange substances. As it turns out, however, Erykah did not approve of the video's release and has since penned an open letter to the Lips' Wayne Coyne.

Erykah Badu and The Flaming Lips team up on a cover, made famous by Roberta Flack, of the track "The First Time Ever (I Saw Your Face). The collaboration turns the song from a ballad to a psych-rock ambient trip that features Badu vocals outside of their usual R&B form. As far as the video goes, when considering whether or not I find a music video to be good I usually take into the fact how creative and game-changing it is. Most videos roll out with your standard imagery of all sorts of video cliches, but this video, however, does [...]
The Flaming Lips and Erykah Badu are no strangers to shocking people, I actually think its one of their favorite pastimes. The video for their cover of "The First Time I Ever Saw Your Face" features Badu's very naked sister, Nayrok Badu covered in glitter, paint, and some sort of semen looking substance. The cut has a beautiful simplicity, entrancing audio [...]

First and foremost, this is one of the most provocative videos I have ever seen to date. In fact, I didn't know what to think on first listen of Flaming Lips ' unique take on Roberta Flack 's " The First Time I Ever Saw Your Face ." Renaming the song, " Western Esotericism " leaves so much for interpretation. From taking this to slavery days of Africian-American women's domination by their white masters to the purest form of sex, from the symbolism of blood and semen, to the use of golden sand to heighten [...]
Hard to know where to start with this one. All I know is that just about every second of this video is captivating. This certainly wouldn't be the first time The Flaming Lips have come with a classically what-the-fuck piece of avant-garde film. It's also not the first time Ms. Badu has decided to bare all in the interest of provocative art. But the inaugural collab from these two eccentric acts is up there with each of their strangest- cosmic, psychedelic, visually stunning, strangely sexual, and beautifully unsettling. There's a lot worth talking about here, including the excellent [...]
