Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band is perhaps the greatest musical achievement of the modern era.

So when the Flaming Lips announced that they would be issuing a full cover version of The Beatles' 1967 classic - titled With A Little Help From My Fwends - some music fans were understandably wary of the final product.

But those who are iffy on the Lips got some good news today: The band will be getting by with a little help from... well, you know.

The project took a big step forward on Monday with the announcement of its tracklist - a gauntlet of stars that includes Miley Cyrus, MGMT, My Morning Jacket and several other artists playing alongside Wayne Coyne and company.

The singer posted this picture on Instagram (and we did our best to decipher the message below):
