The Flaming Lips are an American rock band, formed in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Melodically, their sound contains lush, multi-layered, psychedelic rock arrangements, but lyrically their compositions show elements of space rock, including unusual song and album titles—such as "Psychiatric Explorations of the Fetus with Needles", "Free Radicals (A Hallucination of the Christmas Skeleton Pleading with a Suicide Bomber)" and "Yeah, I Know It's a Drag... But Wastin' Pigs Is Still Radical". They are also acclaimed for their elaborate live shows, which feature costumes, balloons, puppets, video projections, complex stage light configurations, giant hands, large amounts of confetti, and frontman Wayne Coyne's signature man-sized plastic bubble, in which he traverses the audience.

Named one of the “50 Bands to See Before You Die” by Q Magazine, The Flaming Lips are known for their psychedelic rock arrangements and elaborate live shows. The band has earned multiple Grammies for hit such as “She Don’t Use Jelly” and “Do You Realize."
