Wayne Coyne on Colbert Report.

Stephen asks The Flaming Lips’ Wayne Coyne how bad things must be in Oklahoma that “Do You Realize??” is its official rock song.

in case you missed it, teh Lips and Wayne were on Colbert last week… fun interview and one of my favorite tracks of the new record Embryonic.

i talked to Wayne last night, he told me all about the colbert behind the scenes…

apparently Steven sits down with the guest for about a minute before the interview and just tells them he’s going to be the most pig-headed, Glen Beck-ish asshole on earth and please just give him back what you would to that same kind of individual that would do that shit on purpose.

…also, like you have to be told, Steven is a super nice guy in reality & a certified GENIUS.

enjoy.

p.s. things ARE that bad in Oklahoma.   (maybe.)

I always wondered how much prep there was for people being interviewed by Stephen Colbert…that’s very cool.
