New Bees: 'Chicken Payback'

I can't believe it's been over a year since I shelled out for an import of the latest Bees CD. At the time I was thisclose to posting an MP3 of the truly infectious, Austin Powersy "Chicken Payback," but never got around to it.

Stateside, the psych-poppers go by the decidedly less cool but lawyer-friendly moniker A Band Of Bees, and Free The Bees finally got a domestic release a few weeks ago.

There's even a video for "Chicken Payback" in which the group unleashes its inner DDR freak. Watch: Win | Real

It'll be stuck in your head all day. It's been stuck in my head for a year. And if anyone's got an MP3 of Madlib's Soul Distortion Vocal Remix please send my way -- thanks Chris...

Amazing video, but the original version of the song is WAY better then the remix posted.

Upon seeing the video, my reaction was as follows:
What the fuck...?

That recieved a grade F, which stands for not Fab but a "Fucking Farce."
