“Wayne Coyne and his group The Flaming Lips this weekend are previewing a ‘sound construction’ piece that features not only Erykah Badu and “Biz Markie backwards” (we’re struggling to hear it, too) but also Apple’s own Siri personal assistant, found most days on an iPhone 4S helping people hide bodies,” Ross Miller reports for The Verge.
“The loose narrative begins with Siri not understanding the moon, the stars, and the sun… but with the power of Erykah Badu’s singing, and her pointing out stars and sun, Siri learns to understand,” Miller reports.

God that is a terrible song.
No, it is not terrible; it is unusual song whether with Siri or not.
Umm..I think i’m going w/ terrible on this on. Maybe even unusually terrible.
Did anyone catch Siri on The Big Bang Theory last week. She was a major guest star.
YES i saw and heard also.
She’s more then just another beautiful face –
she’s a multi-tasking magician with a super hot voice.
Funny and cool to hear Siri. The song is quite odd, but that’s par for the course for the Lips…an acquired taste they are!
Sounds to me like the Badu part is a “sample” of her singing “The First Time I Ever Saw Your Face”.
