Quote:
Wonderfully weird rockers the Flaming Lips have been given their home state's ultimate seal of approval: The song "Do You Realize" (from the band's 2002 opus Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots) has been named Oklahoma's Official State Rock Song. (Its main state song remains Rogers & Hammerstein's musical-theater behemoth "Oklahoma"; there are also sanctioned picks for folk, children, and country-western songs.)
The State Legislature laid down the ground rules, but the Lips were actually the choice of the people. From an initial field of 454 songs by native sons and daughters -- including the All American Rejects' "Move Along," the Ventures' "Walk Don't Run," and "Heartbreak Hotel" (sung by Elvis, but penned by Oklahoma school teacher Mae Boren Axton) -- "Realize" won a whopping 51 percent of 21,061 votes cast, to be exact.
Who says we ain't cultured?
