i think that was what happened, i taped it, and watching it again after Conan thanks the band and shakes hands... you can see kim discussing with thurston (audio at this point is just Conan's house band) what just happened and she 'put her finger to her ear'... that in general is a huge clue in that she couldn't hear herself during the performance, which makes it very very difficult to sing in key and/or hit the notes. its common to see singers in bands do this live as a clue in that they are at the mercy of a soundguy, but when you on television and this happens it generally seems that your fucked at that point... kinda suprising that the sound crew on such a show/network program would boch that up... so don't be quick to blame her.
i don't think the band can do more than a couple takes of a song because eventhough its taped for a national audience it is recorded live w/ a studio audience...
