Here is the collaborative cover track of Elton John's "Rocketman," performed by Flaming Lips multi-instrumentalist Steven Drozd and Tool, A Perfect Circle and Puscifer member Maynard James Keennan. The pair have dubbed the tune a tribute and called it "Rocket Mantastic."

The tune was recorded for the soundtrack of the documentary "The Heart is a Drum Machine." It plays over the credits. Oklahoma City resident Drozd scored the film.

PLUS! Here is the trailer of the film, which is available from online retailers. I bought my copy via Amazon. The film also is streaming at Netflix.
