A few days left to nominate rock songs
Don’t forget, rock fans, you have until the end of the month to nominate titles for Oklahoma’s official rock song.
People from all around the world have nominated more than 300 songs for the distinction. In August, the Official Oklahoma Rock Song Advisory Panel will narrow the field to 10 finalists.
Then, the public will have from Sept. 1 to Nov. 15 to vote on which of the final 10 songs will be Oklahoma’s official rock song.
You can nominate your favorite rock song at www.oklahomarocksong.org.
Right now, it looks like the All-American Rejects have garnered the most nominations. The Flaming Lips, Leon Russell and Hanson also have several of their songs on the nominees lists.
Remember, this is for Oklahoma’s official ROCK song. We already have an official state song (“Oklahoma” by Oscar Hammerstein II and Richard Rodgers), country song (“Faded Love” by Bob Wills and Billy Jack Wills) and folk song (“Oklahoma Hills” by Woody Guthrie and Jack Guthrie). If I catch anyone nominating anything other than a rock song - as some have on the site – I plan to find a giant hamster ball like Wayne Coyne’s and personally bowl them over with it.
-BAM
