THE FLAMING LIPS WEEK!
Hello! Today I decided to do this special week about this special band. To introduce The Flaming Lips to people who doesn't know it yet I will begin at the beginning:
The band was formed in 1983 in Oklahoma City when Wayne Coyne, the band's composer/vocalist/guitarist, robbed the instruments from a church! (Which church? Does anyone know?) Three years later Wayne, his brother Mark and the bass player Michael Ivins (that remains in FL until nowadays) did their first show at the Blue Note Lounge.¹
The Flaming Lips' "indie era" (which means before they'd signed with Warner Bros Records) gave birth to four albums, the latest being released in 1990 called "In a Priest Driven Ambulance". According to Wikipedia, "it is a concept album primarily focused on frontman Wayne Coyne's fascination with religion. It is generally considered among critics to be one of the best early period Flaming Lips albums."

The Flaming Lips' first whistling song appears in this album. Well, I don't know, maybe I'm getting old and gag, but I couldn't find anything about the song. (=
Ten men stand in line
At the gates of the cemetery on Tuesday morning
They're not open today
And ten moms stand in line
At maternity ward
They're not bringin' no babies out to play
Anytime today
What's a nice girl like you doin'
Walkin' around this part of town?
See you sometime tomorrow
And ten men stand in line
Waitin' for some personality to be put out on the corner
Today ain't garbage day
Ain't no grabage taken today
