Siri Lays Down The Vocals On New Track From The Flaming Lips

The Flaming Lips are huge Apple fans. Heck, they covered The Beatles’ famous song “Revolution” in tribute to Steve Jobs. But their latest track takes it a step further. Frontman Wayne Coyne roped in Siri to lay down some vocals on “Now I Understand” — a “sound construction” piece available for one week only.

Siri introduces the track by telling Wayne that she does not understand “the moon, the stars, and the sun.” Thankfully for her, Erykah Badu is on-hand to explain all during a calming piece that apparently samples Biz Markie backwards. After this, Siri returns to confirm that now she understands.

I’m glad someone does, because I’m still confused. But I did enjoy it.

You can listen to the full track below. Enjoy it while you can, because after a week, it’ll be gone.
