The Flaming Lips Write Most Nonsensical Song Yet

1. The Flaming Lips, “The Tale of the Horny Frog”
“Hey Wayne Coyne, we made this movie starring Ben Stiller and some fart jokes — want to write us a song?” “Sure, how about a song about a randy amphibian?” (At least we think that’s how this song from The Heartbreak Kid soundtrack happened.) [Stereogum]

2. The Gossip, “Careless Whisper” (Wham! cover)
Against all odds, this is actually pretty excellent. [Music Slut]

3. Ween, “The Party”
What with its suave grooves and inexplicable references to tri-color pasta and “succulent juices,” Ween’s latest song veers dangerously close to sounding like the soundtrack to an Andy Samberg digital short. In other words, it’s awesome. [Stereogum]

4. Little Brother feat. Lil Wayne, “Break My Heart”
Can you imagine how much easier life would be for rap bloggers if computer keyboards came with a “feat. Lil Wayne” key? Inventors — get on this. [Nah Right]

5. Black Kids, “I’m Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend How to Dance With You”
Despite the fact that they’re just another peppy, twee band with a singer who sounds like he’s doing a bad Robert Smith impression, Black Kids are described by this blog as “Florida’s new indie-crunk champs.” We don’t quite hear it. [Butter Team]
