The Flaming Lips' upcoming Sgt. Pepper's covers album With a Little Help from My Fwends features guest appearances from Miley Cyrus and Moby, and both of those stars appear in the psych band's new video for "Blonde SuperFreak Steals the Magic Brain."
The clip is a truly weird one. In it, Moby plays a cloaked shaman who orders the titular nude "Blonde SuperFreak" to steal a colourful, wobbly brain from a bedridden Miley Cyrus. Meanwhile, the Flaming Lips perform an unheard song while plenty more craziness takes place.
Speaking to Rolling Stone, here is how the Lips' Wayne Coyne explains it all:
The video story is something like this: Moby is an evil, power-hungry cult leader. He wants the world's most valuable (according to our story) psychedelic supernatural possession... John F. Kennedy's brain....the brain contains the original formula for the drug LSD!!!
Miley Cyrus has the magic brain!!! And Moby enlists a nympho Manson girl-type blonde superfreak to go steel the brain from Cyrus.
She steals the brain from Cyrus while Cyrus is still in bed in a drug-induced coma. Cyrus finally wakes up and is mega-pissed that her BRAIN has been stolen. She enlists a burned-faced Santa and a lesbian Bigfoot ( that are hovering in a nearby spaceship) to hunt down the blond superfreak that stole her brain. They have a relentless pursuit, all the while Cyrus laments the loss of her magic brain and Moby gains powerful rainbows from hell. In the end, the blond superfreak kills Santa and Bigfoot and a baby mole ends up with the brain…
Oh yeah. And the Flaming Lips are disguised as rainbows, mushrooms and flowers watching from the sky room where a giant diamond explosion happens.
Watch it below.
