WATCH: The Flaming Lips cover The Beatles' “She's So Heavy” (ft. Wilco's Nels Cline!)

The Flaming Lips have already taken on the Beatles with their weirdo cover of “I Am The Walrus,” and now video has surfaced of the band's take on “She's So Heavy,” which they performed during their NYE 2012 dates.

Joined by Wilco guitarist Nels Cline, the Lips deliver a faithful rendition, minus the fact that it lasts seventeen minutes. All the usual on-stage staples are here: intergalactic dancers, trippy lights and visuals, and a layer of fallen confetti at their feet. No doubt the performance was ten times more brain-melting in the flesh, but this video is a pretty solid document. Clear your next twenty minutes and watch the clip below:
