"Christmas at the Zoo," The Flaming Lips (Warner Bros.)

The cult faves from Oklahoma put this number on their Clouds Taste Metallic CD, an ode to zoo animals getting set loose for Christmas, only to say "Thanks but no thanks." This group apparently likes Christmas a lot, as you can see by the fact we have multiple listings at Mistletunes for them. Wayne Coyne of the group apparently is a Christmas compilation maker, like many visitors to this site, according to a story at ChartAttack.com. The Lips did a single with two versions of "White Christmas," one side of which wound up on the British charity compilation It's a Cool, Cool Christmas.
