Wayne Coyne + The Tonight Show = WTF

Ah, SXSW. One minute you're walking down Sixth to catch a bus, the next you're watching Wayne Coyne, lead singer of the Flaming Lips, interview some weirdo for a bit on The Tonight Show. Don't worry, this video won't bring the FCC calling. Those are some kind of gag underwear that have a plastic genatalia-esque accessory on the outside.

Coyne and crew were first spotted wandering down the street until this producer (we assume), who was kind of running around the whole scene like a puppy on a mission, suddenly led everyone to this interview. Coyne just looked baffled the whole time, his expression saying "What do you want me to do with this?"

I think the dude's band was about to play. Their big song was called something like "Shit Love," maybe? We really couldn't hear over the ambient noise and, honestly, how much more comprehensible would it've been if we could?

Apologies for the horrible video and audio quality. Need to upgrade the pocket digital.

    Nah, I get a full 8 hours of sex every night. But you need your funny bone set, shitmama. It appears to be broke.

    I only caught the last 30 seconds of the Tonight Show and their video of this. I was mildly dissapointed that they did not point out the iconic nature of Leslie in this town. They just made him out to be some weird dude, but they did show the magnet set - hopefully that will spur sales. Anyone know if the video is online yet?

    HUG rocks! and Dorito is a cutie pie!



    ol'pappy - you should check them out... some Shit Sex might loosen you right up and make you less cranky!

  • ol'pappy

    Yeah. That shit is played here.

    Does Leslie at least get a licensing fee for this stooge stealing his patented style (tiara, beard, thong, painted nails and cowboy hat)?

    The band is called HUG, the song is called Shit Sex and the dancer interviewed is Dorito Valdez. Hug plays again this Sunday at Lovejoys 8pm-ish
