Vote Flaming Lips For Official State Of Oklahoma Rock Song Yoshimi/Land Rover's "Do You Realize?" is up against nine other nominees including All-American Rejects, JJ Cale, Elvis Presley, and the Ventures, and other folks who are either from Oklahoma or whose work has some sort of Oklahoman affiliation. The voting is open to the public (no matter where you live) until 11/15 and the winning track will be presented to the OK legislature in 2009: Vote! (Great people of Oklahoma, will you move if All-American Rejects win this thing?)

Whatever, guys. You can vote me down, but it's true.

Well I'd vote (if I was going to) for the Ventures over Flaming Lips anyway

As a proud Oklahoman, I'm abstaining from the vote because my suggestion of The Lips' "Brainville" was edged out in favor of that schmaltzy piece of crap.

If this gets out to the pre-teen set, "Move Along" has a decent shot of taking this thing.

Wasn't Move Along also used as a WWE theme song at one point in time? *shudder*

I do miss driving around aimlessly along the streets of the Midwest/Del City area...wow, that was years ago!
