Shocked that Jed hasn't already posted this.

(note: This isn't the official video, as Warner Bros. doesn't understand how viral media works and pulled all their artists' videos earlier this year. Way to be idiots, WB!)
The Lips received 51% of the 21,000 votes cast. Wayne, Steven, Michael and Kliph were all in attendance.
The other finalists included:
All-American Rejects (http://www.allamericanrejects.com/) - "Move Along"
The Call (http://www.the-call-band.com/) - "Oklahoma"
