Did You Know?

Interesting facts and trivia about Your Life Is a Lie. By Songfacts®.

The second single released from MGMT's eponymous third album is a short, sharp slice of surrealism. Vocalist Andrew VanWyngarden told Relix magazine that he wrote the song, "while tripping hard on acid by a fire."

MGMT premiered the song live during their concert at Portland, Maine's State Theatre on April 30, 2013.

The song's music video finds MGMT again working with Tom Kuntz, who was director of the band's 2010 mini-epic widescreen clip for "Congratulations." Kuntz pairs the band with an assortment of colorful characters, including skeletons singing around a piano, talking dolphins and Happy Days actor Henry Winkler.
