Willie Nelson Reimagines Flaming Lips 'Do You Realize' for New Album

Just when you think he couldn't be any cooler, Willie Nelson has released a second track from his upcoming album "Last Leaf On The Tree." The song, a cover of a classic Flaming Lips track, is "Do You Realize?"

It's sorta like when Johnny Cash covered the Nine Inch Nails song "Hurt," Trent Reznor wasn't a fan (at first). So how do the Lips feel about a country legend covering their track? "He’s just such a unique singer,”" lead singer Wayne Coyne says. "You hear one second of his voice, and you go, that’s him." Fellow bandmember Steven Drozd says his only regret is that his late father won’t get to hear it: "I wish he was still alive to see this happening, that Willie Nelson is doing a Flaming Lips song I had a part in co-writing. He’d be very proud." Willie's album comes out November 1.

So what do you think of it?
