Amazingly enough, The Flaming Lips’s 2002 single ‘Do You Realize??’ has just been named as the official song of their home state–Oklahoma.. rather a far cry from the old “Oklahoma Where the Wind Comes Sweeping Down the Plain” type thing isn’t it..
Over 450 songs were originally nominated, with the lead single from Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots beating off competition from Elvis Presley’s ‘Heartbreak Hotel’ among others.
Curiouser and Curiouser…
