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 the email sender's location of "West Islip" in old comics. A poster featuring the band is seen in Strong Sad's room in Baddest of the Bands.
[edit] Fun Facts
- The band is represented by four images of Ryan Sterritt, with blue eyebrows and bright red lips crudely drawn on in Photoshop.
- The picture of Sterritt is taken from his 2005 SXSW profile. He appears blue-skinned due to the lighting in the photo.
- The imagery of the band is somewhat similar to the cover of The Man-Machine by Kraftwerk.
- Strong Bad reading "Without" from their song title was reused in rock opera.
