West Is Lip is a British new wave band consisting of four androgynous men from Hertfordshire. Their hit single is "She Partied Without Dancing", which reached No. 4 on the Sales Chart. They apparently were popular enough to warrant a compilation of their singles.
Strong Bad refers to the band's name after mispronouncing "West Islip" in old comics. A poster featuring the band is seen in Strong Sad's room in Baddest of the Bands.
