The Flaming Lips have just written a new chapter in this seemingly never-ending bitch-fest between themselves and Erykah Badu. The whole beef started because the band made a video starring a naked, writhing Badu (and her sister, Nayrok) and leaked the video without the sisters' final sign-off on their glitter-covered privates being broadcast to the world. Erykah accused the band of being unprofessional dickbags and the band hit back, accusing her of trying to court controversy, which is funny coming from the guys who made a video starring a naked woman covered in blood and cum.Anyway, the most recent update is this reworked video starring former Dresden Doll, Amanda ‘Fucking’ Palmer in place of Badu, and featuring her wailing and echoing her rattling vocal in the bath. It hasn’t got any sticky corn syrup-covered thighs, but it does feature Palmer’s, erm, hairy armpits and transvestite eyebrows – so, y’know, I think we all know who got the last laugh there.
