In support of the NBA’s Oklahoma City Thunder, The Flaming Lips have re-written the iconic “Race For The Prize” (off 1999′s The Soft Bulletin) into a team fight song. After taking to Twitter yesterday to gather fan-submitted lyrics, the band put “Thunder Up: Racing For The Prize” to archive footage of the team in action. Watch the music video/recording process below (via The Future Heart); the song begins at 1:09 mark.
