Flaming Lips cover Madonna

This is what every cover song should aspire to. The track appears on Covered: A Revolution in Sound, a (surprise!) covers collection celebrating Warner Bros. 50th anniversary.

War Child presents Heroes and Dark Was the Night both set the bar pretty high for compilations this year, but Wayne Coyne and the Lips' (along with Stardeath and White Dwarfs) re imagining of "Borderline" is worth the price of Covered... alone.
