The Flaming Lips
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia.
The Flaming Lips (not to be confused with The Flaming Chalice) are the greatest band ever, in all time, having ever existed at any spatial coordinates in the universe. This is God's Honest truth sent down to us mortals by His Eternal Word in the form of "The Soft Bulletin" and "Clouds Taste Metallic" and "Zaireeka." Even Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots.
The band is originally from Oklahoma City, the worlds gnarliest shit hole. They did acid a couple of times and played really loud and poorly executed music that they ripped off of the Butthole Surfers. Then Jesus gave them super powers making them the greatest rock band of all time, ever.

[edit] The Band
- Wayne Coyne. He has a beard now and everything. For some reason, he forces all his bandmates to dress like Furries. Also looks suspiciously like Jose Mourinho
- Michael Ivins. Wayne's beleagered sidekick, usually seen sitting in a chair, dressed like a Furry.
- Steven Drozd. The one with talent, and all the drugs.
- Isaac Brock. The guy from Modest Mouse, vomiting into Michael's bass.
- Steve Burns. The guy from Blue's Clues. Picked, I assume, due to his affinity with Furries.
- ' 'Luke Skywalker. He's the guy responsible for the lightsaber sounds.
- Bruce Willis. The bad-ass security guy with a gun.
- Colonel Sanders. He cooks for the band. It is rumoured that the Secret Recipe for the band contains heavy allucinogenic ingredients.
[edit] Former Members
- Ronald Jones A maori who was outcast because he refused to get those weird tattoos. After a fit of depression and a few guitar lessons, he moved to America and was captured by Wayne on a hunting trip. It took Ronald two albums to escape the band.
- Harold the Martian fired after some passport difficulties
- Santa Clause Before that scandal with the elves.
- Beck. The Devil's Haircut guy. I think he just showed up.
- Ted Danson. They got Ted freaking Danson. Yes, they're that awesome.
- Brian Wilson. I'm sure he doesn't actually know where he is. At any time. Ever.
[edit] Their Name
The flaming lips' got their name from inspiration of one Dave Benson-Phillips. While watching an episode of "Get your own back", Wayne and Michael imaged Dave's 200 muscle filled lips as almost being on fire thus the name was created. Dave did not demand any of the royalties for his inspiring lips, only that Wayne had to supply him with cocaine once a week.
[edit] How Wayne Coyne Writes A Song
- First, he drops acid, and hunts down Michael Ivins and torments him in some way: sometimes he screams, "WAKE UP MICHAEL!" at the top of his lungs, sometimes he sends his dogs after him, sometimes he drops a poisonous spider on him. When he wants to write a song about a giraffe, he gets a giraffe to trample Michael and records his reactions, in the name of Science.
- Next, he comes up with a gimmick. Maybe the song can only be played on twenty CD players, an 8-track, a DVD player, a dozen highly trained Turkish eunuchs, and an antique player piano simultaneously. Maybe the song has been bounced off the surface of Mars, or is sung while in a giant rubber ball. All sorts of freaky shit.
- Then, he gets Steven Drozd to actually write the song. Steven fucking Drozd. Fucking is Gnarly.
- And then... he drops acid.
[edit] Live Shows
The Flaming Lips are known for their exceptionally strange live shows. They frequently use smoke machines, balloons, rabbit suits, zithers, zamonis, Peyote plants, ugly girls in bikinis, a recreation of Mount Rushmore in Styrofoam, and even some guitars at recent shows. In one tragic concert the appearance of The Flaming Lips arch enemies, The Freezing Lips resulted in an epic battle. It caused the death of 3000-21 people and the durability of Wayne Coyne's Gallant Flamberge of the Whale to drop to 5/85.
