— Station jingle in GTA Liberty City Stories

Lips 106 or Lips 106 FM is a radio station in Grand Theft Auto III and Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories, it acts as a Top 40 station and plays mostly pop, among other genres.

Description

Lips, like Head Radio, is a mainstream station that plays pop music. It doesn't feel any shame about being a commercial radio, in fact one of its idents in GTA III says "commercial radio at its best, and proud of it!" The station's headquarters can be found in Staunton Island. Its call sign is KBDDF, according to the GTA III website.

In 1998 (the setting of GTA Liberty City Stories), Lips is hosted by Cliff Lane and Andee and plays teen and dance pop, strongly targeting a young female demographic (likely because of Cliff Lane's lust for preteen girls).

During the development of GTA Advance, Lips 106 was one of the three radio stations that was originally suppose to appear in the game (along with K-JAH and MSX FM), but was dropped.

By 2001 (the setting of GTA III), Andee is the sole DJ, and the station has switched to more of a contemporary pop mix station, with genres ranging from rock to hip hop to R&B to even jazz-funk. According to Andee, all of the songs now are from "the 70's to the 90's". For the PS2 version of this game, some lyrics were censored for profanity, most notably those from Fatamarse's "Bump To The Music" and Da Shootaz's "Grand Theft Auto".

The songs in both renditions of Lips are original creations made by the Rockstar staff especially for the games.

All of the station's songs from GTA Liberty City Stories are available as ringtones in Grand Theft Auto IV.

Influence

Lips 106 is possibly based on WBLI 106.1, which plays Top 40 music in Long Island, New York. Its name may also be a reference to the Kiss FM radio network common through Europe and North America.

Trivia

General

  • This is one of the favourite radio stations of the Yakuza, alongside Rise FM and MSX FM.
  • Rudy LaFontaine's and Sunshine Shine's singles can be seen advertised on billboards throughout Liberty City in GTA Liberty City Stories, and in safehouses and bars in GTA IV and Grand Theft Auto V.

Grand Theft Auto III

  • At the start of Lips 106, it airs an advertisement previewing some of the songs that are intended to be played on the station.
    1. The sample starts with the intro of the song "God Bless All the Universe" by Rev. Rooney & The Rocksta Choir, which is a song from GTA 2, and not included in any of the radios of GTA III.
    2. Then it plays Fatamarse's "Bump To The Music".
    3. Then, the sample plays briefly the song "Wash Him Off" by Marydancin, which was cut down from the final release of the game, but was nevertheless released later by Rockstar as part of the soundtrack.
    4. Then it plays Boyz 2 Girls' "Pray It Goes OK?"
    5. Then it plays Lucy's "Forever".
    6. And it finishes with Debbie Harry's "Rush Rush"; in the final version of the game, that song appears on Flashback FM instead.
  • After "Bump to the Music" plays, Andee reads a Liberty Tree news report about Carcer City and its corrupted police chief who was cleared for corruption charges. Andee also claims that Carcer City is "nearby" Liberty City.
  • Boyz 2 Girls is a possible reference to American new jack swing group Boyz II Men, one of whose songs features on CSR 103.9 in GTA San Andreas.
  • The Funky BJs is a reference to the soul ensemble The J.B.'s, who since featured on Master Sounds 98.3 in GTA San Andreas, as well as being reference to a blowjob, common name for the act of oral sex.

Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories

  • An advert for the station proclaims, "who needs a Top 40 countdown? Pop stations only have to play six songs". However, the tracklist for GTA Liberty City Stories has seven.
  • "Funk in Time" by Rudy La Fontaine is a crude reference to the saying "fucking time".

Grand Theft Auto IV

Grand Theft Auto V

  • A modified version of "Bump to the Music" is the default ringtone in Franklin's phone in GTA V.
  • "Bassmatic" is also the theme song for several spam adverts the player has to remove in Friend Request.
