Redo the NBC Chimes

Interesting article here about bands redoing the NBC "G-E-C" chimes: (video to accompany)

"I don't imagine we'd be a very good candidate for the early morning show," Flaming Lips frontman Wayne Coyne tells EW.com's Hollywood Insider blog of his band's chances of landing the a.m. slot with their recently filmed spin on the NBC network's memorable series of three chimes.

The Lips-- along with T.I., the B-52s, B.B. King, and others-- made their way to Los Angeles last week to record an eight-second spot for the network's rejuvenation of the 75-year-old ditty, according to Hollywood Insider. The spots will begin airing between programs around Thanksgiving.

In a must-see video clip accompanying the story, Coyne shows the EW.com crew his amazing-looking, double-necked, "Guitar Hero"-fashioned hybrid axe and reminds them that "the notes [in the NBC theme] are set in stone, as handed down from the Biblical creator, whoever it was who made those notes, the cosmic player." Weird, but I still say "Knight Rider" is weirder.
