Hit to Death in the Future Head is The Flaming Lips' fifth album and their debut album on Warner Bros. Records. It was released on August 5, 1992. It is also the first and only Flaming Lips album to receive a Parental Advisory warning. Some fans believe this is a detractor from the album, preferring their non-vulgar work instead. The title provided the inspiration for the name of the British band The Futureheads.
"Talkin' 'Bout the Smiling Deathporn Immortality Blues (Everyone Wants to Live Forever)" was released as the lead track on the EP Yeah, I Know it's a Drag... But Wastin' Pigs is Still Radical to promote the album.
The album is known for its particularily long hidden track at the end of the CD, which lasts for almost a half hour. According to the band's website, "The CD features a joke eleventh track of a forty odd seconds loop repeating for about thirty-five minutes."[1]
