"Buggin'" buzzes in off The Soft Bulletin, the Flaming Lips' 1999 album, and it's a sunburst of a pop song: booming drums, a woozy shimmer over everything and a melody that floats along like it's chasing something just out of reach.
Coyne wrote it with Steven Drozd and Michael Ivins, and the band produced it with Dave Fridmann and Scott Booker, with Fridmann and the Lips mixing and Peter Mokran adding extra production and mix work. It's the album at its lightest, a summer-afternoon daydream with a lot of sonic weight holding it up.
