Possible Flaming Lips Factoid

[jonheal]

I think I discovered the origin of the name of the band "The Flaming Lips."

We were watching an obscure Shirley McLaine movie the other night entitled "What a Way to Go." It's a weird blend of 50's musical and 60's "pop" imagery and artiness. Anyway, during one of the dance sequences, there on a theater marquee in the background was emblazoned the title "The Flaming Lips."

Someone told me it was about a girl with a sexual desease!!

I saw them a few months back (I mean the band) for the first time and they were excellent.
