Wayne Coyne as Willy Wonka
| by Rad Parker on October 29th, 2008 |
Despite the obvious similarity between the magical wonderland that Willy Wonka calls his factory and the average Flaming Lips show, Wayne and Wonka now also have something else in common.
No, Wayne hasn't hired little orange people as his stage crew. Instead, according to The Flaming Lip's homepage, Wayne and the boys are hard at work putting together "mega deluxe Christmas on Mars packages" for you to order on their website.
The mega deluxe package is not the only way to get the Christmas on Mars DVD and score, but it does also contain a wide variety of Flaming Lips memorabilia like a Christmas on Mars t-shirt, band member trading cards, an "Eat Your Own Spaceship" bumper sticker, a replica ticket from the early screenings of Christmas on Mars, and a popcorn box with "Flaming Lips Popcorn".
The first 1,000 mega deluxe packages sold will have the popcorn box signed by the members of the band, but the most essential part of the deal is that 10 Flaming Lips Golden Tickets will be distributed randomly in the first 1,000 packages. These Golden Tickets are VIP invites to The Flaming Lips New Year's Eve gig in Oklahoma City. I definitely want one of those more than I want a tour of a chocolate factory.
Heres a look at Wayne's special sales pitch:
