'''''They Came to Conquer... Uranus''''' is a [[7"]] [[Extended play|EP]] by [[Blink-182]], released in 1995 on [[Cargo Music]]. It was released on clear green, clear yellow, clear blue, and black vinyl.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.freebase.com/view/en/they_came_to_conquer_uranus |title=They Came to Conquer Uranus facts |publisher=Freebase.com |date=2011-01-22 |accessdate=2012-03-12}}</ref> This EP is notable as being the band's first release (excluding the re-release of [[Cheshire Cat (Blink-182 album)|Cheshire Cat]]) under the name Blink-182, rather than Blink. |
|||
The song "Waggy" was re-recorded two years later on their next album, [[Dude Ranch (album)|Dude Ranch]]. |
|||
Only 300 copies were originally pressed on blue vinyl and were numbered by hand in 1995. They have since been repressed multiple times on various colors such as black, different shades of blue, green, aqua, gold, yellow, red, and pink<ref name=uranus />. |
|||

The EP was recorded in 1995 through Cargo Records right after the Good Times tour in Australia. Six songs were recorded, Zulu, Wrecked Him, Lemmings, Strung Out (titled Enthused on Dude Ranch), Waggy and Good Times (Cover Theme Song). However; only three ended up on the EP. |
