Ego Tripping at the Gates of Hell is an EP by The Flaming Lips, released on Warner Bros. Records in late 2003.
It was released while At War With the Mystics, the full length follow up to Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots, was being recorded. Despite being named after the Yoshimi... album track "Ego Tripping at the Gates of Hell", the song is not the 'lead' track and doesn't even appear in its original form, rather as two club-oriented remixes.
Ego Tripping at the Gates of Hell is also the name of the 1987 debut album by Australian blues rocker Louis Tillett. It is not known whether this replication is coincidental or a deliberate tribute.
It is also the name of A.M. from Yoyoyo Acapulco's side project.
