Oklahoma State Senate names The Flaming Lips’ “Do You Realize” the state rock song
The Oklahoma State Senate passed today Senate Joint Resolution 24, which declared the Flaming Lips song “Do You Realize” the Official Oklahoma Rock Song.
Assistant Entertainment Writer George Lang was at the state Capitol today and talked to Lips frontman Wayne Coyne.
“All songwriters, they know when they get something really lucky,” Coyne said shortly after the resolution passed. “The fact that the world can relate to it and the world likes it and the world can sing along … I think the really great songs are just sort of dumb luck. And we just really got lucky with this little song.”

I voted for this song. Thank goodness an actual rock song made it, instead of a country or folk song. Some people just didn’t read what the point of the vote was.
