So, speaking about naked chicks in music videos - after all the screaming and yelling, accusations and pointing of fingers, he said/she said, and claims that "I'm just a pure, innocent little country girl who got misled by these city slickers", Wayne Coyne of The Flaming Lips revealed yesterday that he intends to remake that controversial music video they made with Erykah Badu, but without her this time.

Coyne said that he plans to redo the video with Amanda Palmer of the rock group Dresden Dolls (whoever she is, and whoever they are), who he states will be a "more willing participant."

Coyne was quoted as saying that: "At this moment I'm talking with Palmer about remaking the video and having Amanda be in the video."

Coyne also did not say if the new video he's planning to make would be exactly the same, or a different concept altogether.

    The frosting/semen might not have the same effect when splattered on white skin.

    I'm a 40 year old lawyer in Columbus, OH and I know the Dresden Dolls. When you're banging out these wanna-be Sean O'Neal pop culture updates, I would recommend using the interweb before flippantly dismissing a relevant band. And if you don't know of Sean O'Neal, I'd just give up on this gig.

    The Flaming Lips already have a video of naked black women in their repertoire, encourage them to masturbate, pee and be 'less uptight'... that didn't get any backlash from the self-righteous black community. Hence I think they'll be okay with doing away with this one lol. Everyone got what they wanted in the end, publicity and possibly more album sales. So kudos to Erykah Badu and The Flaming Lips for this 'controversy'.

    "that didn't get any backlash from the self-righteous black community"

    How many people knew about those videos before a huge star like Erykah got involved with them (crickets chirping).

    All the titties in the world can't change the fact that this song SUCKS! Erykah need to answer for THAT bullshit, not just her nasty sister covering herself in nastiness.
