I shit you not:

In an exclusive interview, Wayne Coyne, lead singer of the Flaming Lips, told EW.com that the psych-rock band will team up with acclaimed TV writer and show creator Aaron Sorkin to turn the group’s 2002 album Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots into a Broadway musical.

Finally, a musical remake I can get behind. This is probably not going to help with Sorkin’s drug use scandal problems. And now I’ll try my hand at the obligatory Aaaron Sorkin-esque fake dialogue joke…

Yoshimi: It’s demanding.
Boyfriend: What?
Yoshimi: The discipline. I’m saying it’s demanding. It demands a lot of me.
Boyfriend: You mentioned that.
Yoshimi: I mean the karate training alone is a large part of my day. Not to mention working for the city.
Boyfriend: Not to mention.
Yoshimi: Is something wrong with you? I mean seriously wrong.
Boyfriend: How did this become about me all of a sudden? We’re talking about you, the karate, working for the city. The discipline.
Yoshimi: Hmm.
Boyfriend: You know, I just realized.
Yoshimi: Hmm.
Boyfriend: I just realized that everyone you know / Someday will die - / And instead of saying all of your goodbyes - let them know / You realize that life goes fast / It’s hard to make the good things last / You realize the sun doesn’t go down / It’s just an illusion caused by the world spinning round…

Okay it’s lunchtime, so I got a little hypoglycemic toward the end there…
