The Flaming Lips' Wayne Coyne has told Observer Music Monthly that Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody has helped inspire the band's new album. He explains: "Bohemian Rhapsody is one of the most popular songs of all time, and it's one of the weirdest too. We recorded a cover of it last April and after spending five days deconstructing it we said to ourselves, 'Why are we holding back?'
He continued: "Queen clearly never thought they were being too silly, and it takes balls to do that. On our new album you can see us not stopping ourselves. Are you really afraid that someone is going to tell you that you are being ridiculous? The world is full of stupid things that are wonderful."
It's true you know. Some might say I'm stupid enough already, but I'm going to stop holding back on my stupidity nonetheless.
