Line 46:
* [[Drugs Are Bad]]: According to the ''Fearless Freaks'' documentary, former guitarist Ronald Jones left the band due to paranoia about Steven Drozd's drug addiction.
* [[Epic Rocking]]: "7 Skies H3", which is 24 hours long. This following on from "Found a Star on the Ground", at six hours. There's also a noise loop on ''Hit To Death In The Future Head'' that's almost half an hour long.
* [[Excited Show Title!]]: ''Oh My Gawd!!!...The Flaming Lips''
* [[Fan Disservice]]: The music video for "Watching the Planets". Wayne Coyne, you're almost 50 years old. Enough said.
* [[From a Certain Point of View]]: "...the sun doesn't go down, it's just an illusion caused by the world spinning 'round"
Line 57:
** And in a rather bizarre note, German mathematician Dr. Thorsten Wörmann provides spoken word bits to "Gemini Syringes".
* [[Hidden Track]]: Only one has appeared on the band's albums so far, but given that it's an untitled track consisting solely of the outro to one of their other songs looped for nearly a half-hour, it's hard to say whether it actually counts or not.
* [[Limited Special Collectors' Ultimate Edition]]: Many of the band's recent releases have had this. Of note are the limited edition of their ''Christmas on Mars'' film that included a box of Flaming Lips popcorn and the limited edition version of ''Embryonic'' that came packaged in a small, furry box.
** Taken to extremes with new songs the band has been releasing as of 2011. So far, all of them have been released in small-run, extremely limited quantities batches, including a split 10" with Neon Indian pressed to hand-colored vinyl, and four songs released on a USB stick stuck inside a life-size replica of a human skull made out of gummi candy.
* [[Long Title]]: Almost to the point of self-parody. Among the most infamous are "One Million Billionth of a Millisecond on a Sunday Morning" and "What Is the Light? (An Untested Hypothesis Suggesting That the Chemical [In Our Brains] by Which We Are Able to Experience the Sensation of Being in Love Is the Same Chemical That Caused the "Big Bang" That Was the Birth of the Accelerating Universe)".
