Wayne Coyne of The Flaming Lips and singer Miley Cyrus perform "Lucy In the Sky" via satellite during the 2014 Billboard Music Awards at the MGM Grand Garden Arena on May 18, 2014 in Las Vegas, Nevada. With Cyrus delivering a slightly smokey take on John Lennon's trippy vocals, the cover begins fairly straightforward. However, once the song reaches its chorus, the feel-good, shout-ready refrain is overtaken by a blitzkrieg of pulverizing dissonance and random junk noise.
