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.
Trivia
- The band is represented by four images of Ryan Sterritt, recolored to have blue skin and with bright red lips crudely drawn on in Photoshop.
- The blue skin may be a reference to Blue Man Group, a performance art group known for trios of blue-painted musicians.
- 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.
