This band provides examples of:
* [[Action Girl]]: Yoshimi in "Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots".
* [[And Starring]]: Their full length cover of ''Dark Side of the Moon'', which is jointly credited to The Flaming Lips and Stardeath and White Dwarfs (a band founded by one of Wayne Coyne's nephews), along with [[
* [[Ascended Extra]]: Kliph Scurlock was originally hired as a touring drummer for the ''Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots'' tour, due to Steve Drozd branching out to keyboards and other assorted instruments, but was eventually brought in as the band's full-time drummer.
** Similarly, touring backing vocalist/guitarist/keyboardist Derek Brown also recently became a full-time member.
Line 37:
** ''Yoshimi'' isn't really the best example of a concept album, because only the first four tracks have anything to do with one another. Their most recent album, ''Embryonic'', fits the description much more accurately, what with the recurring unnamed female protagonist, the subplot about the earth-visiting alien, the preoccupation with astrology and the cosmos (including several zodiac-named tracks), the perpetual themes of existentialism, the insignificance of humanity, and the search for meaning and morality, etc.
* [[Cover Album]]: The band decided to do a whole-album cover of Pink Floyd's ''Dark Side of the Moon'', which turned out exactly as bizarre as you'd expect
* [[Cover Version]]: Apart from the ''Dark Side of the Moon'' album, these are quite rare on their albums. The reissue of ''Hear It Is'' has a cover of "Summertime Blues" by Eddie Cochran, ''In a Priest Driven Ambulance'' has a cover of [[Louis Armstrong
* [[Crossover]]: They once did a crossover performance with [[Beck]].
** They also toured with [[Beck]] on his ''Sea Change'' tour in 2002.
