Denizens of Oklahoma, time to break out the fake blood and hand puppets: After a rigorous nomination process, the Flaming Lips' "Do You Realize??" is now the state's Official Rock Song by the order of Oklahoma's state legislature, Tulsa World reports.More than 21,000 people voted in the contest, which pitted the triumphant Lips track against others written or performed by Sooners, including Elvis Presley's "Heartbreak Hotel" (co-written by Oklahoma's Mae Boren Axton), the All-American Rejects' "Move Along", and Wanda Jackson's "Let's Have a Party". Now if we could only get Congress to approve Radiohead's "The National Anthem" as our, er, national anthem...The honor is in association with the Oklahoma History Center's Another Hot Oklahoma Night exhibit, which will debut later this year.Congrats, guys. The Lips have a couple festival appearances scheduled for the spring: On April 17-18, they'll play Vanderbilt University's Rites of Spring Festival, taking place in Nashville Tennessee, the Tennessean reports. And June 12, they'll hit the Rock Ness fest in Inverness, Scotland. And then, of course, they both play and curate ATP New York in the Catskills this fall.

The Flaming Lips have appeared and performed on at least two children’s shows in their career, so it’s not all too surprising that they teamed up with fellow psych-rock outfit the Octopus Project to cover one of the trippier theme songs in kids’ TV programming: The Reading Rainbow theme song.

Forty years ago today, on February 22, 1983, the Flaming Lips performed their very first show at Oklahoma City’s Blue Note Lounge. But if you could take a time machine back to that moment, chances are, you wouldn’t recognize the band onstage. None of the qualities we now associate with this band — the kaleidoscopic pop anth...
