Whats it gonna be?

Who cares?  I would think our state legislature has more pressing issues that a "state rock song," but given the previous official state emblems voted on, it doesn't surprise me one bit that this nonsense issue has come up.

Considering that they made a watermelon the state vegetable, I'd just like to be sure they don't name something like 'Oh, What a Beautiful Morning!' the state rock song.  Yes, we could turn this thread into yet another b*tch session, but thats what the politics forum is for eh?

To be announced today.

I really thought it would be "Detroit Rock City".

So friggin' obvious!

"Do you Realize?" by the Flaming Lips on Monday was named the state's official rock song.


Do You Realize - that you have the most beautiful face
Do You Realize - we're floating in space -
Do You Realize - that happiness makes you cry
Do You Realize - that everyone you know someday will die

And instead of saying all of your goodbyes - let them know
You realize that life goes fast
It's hard to make the good things last
You realize the sun doesn't go down
It's just an illusion caused by the world spinning round

Do You Realize - Oh - Oh - Oh
Do You Realize - that everyone you know
Someday will die -

And instead of saying all of your goodbyes - let them know
You realize that life goes fast
It's hard to make the good things last
You realize the sun doesn't go down
It's just an illusion caused by the world spinning round

Do You Realize - that you have the most beautiful face
Do You Realize

GREAT!  Since they spent time deciding the State Rock Song I assume the infrastructure, health care, education, crime, and economic problems have all been solved.  I was worried they'd never actually do anything about those problems.

[Townsend]

Yup, handled

For those, like me, who've never heard the song:

What part of those lyrics talk about Oklahoma ?
What next a Chihuahua as the State Dog.

Figures, the Legislature favors OKC yet again...[]

Never heard the song.

I feel like maybe I don't have enough state pride, but I don't really think that the Flaming Lips' music is really all the special. I think the remixes of their music are far superior than the underlying music.

Bison - state Animal 1972
Raccoon - Official furbearer 1989
White-tail deer  - Official game animal 1990
Mexican free-tailed bat -  Official state flying mammal 2006

So looks like you have the ability to make that happen

I think the reason The Flaming Lips won was because they were the only ones who did a bit of campaigning
