The Flaming Lips Team With Yoko Ono For Merry Xmas Cover
. The Flaming Lips combine with Ono for a new cover of the song, released Thursday (Nov. 20). It's very much a reimagining of the track in the Lips' vein, the band's usual psychedelic undertones leading over sounds of sleigh bells. Frontman Wayne Coyne takes the lead on the verses, while Ono helms the chorus she sang on the original over 40 years ago. It may not be a formidable replacement for the Lennon/Ono standard that's permeated Christmas-playing radio stations across the country, but when it comes to injecting a little alt rock into your holidays, you could do much worse. It's all for a new Amazon playlist, "All is Bright," just in time for the holiday season. In all, 43 songs were collected for the playlist, which is available for free for Amazon Prime members. Lucinda Williams, Liz Phair and Brandi Carlile are among the many contributors. Read more and listen here. Radio.com is an official news provider for antiMusic.com.
