"Dick Lips" is a Blink-182 song about when guitarist/singer Tom DeLonge was kicked out of high school for attending a basketball game drunk. The song appears on the album Dude Ranch as well as on The Mark, Tom, And Travis Show: The Enema Strikes Back although credited as "Rich Lips." It was released as an EP in 1998.

The band came up with the name while recording Dude Ranch, when Hoppus and DeLonge were in the habit of calling everyone "dick lips." When the producer came in one day and asked what the name of the song was that they were playing, Hoppus and DeLonge both blurted out "dick lips," and the name stuck.
