Oklahoma Adopts Flaming Lips Tune as State Song

Hey all you hipsters, Oklahoma has a much, much cooler state song than wherever it is you live.

The Sooner State's governor Brad Henry signed an executive order making The Flaming Lips' "Do You Realize" the official song for the state yesterday (April 28), which totally edges out "I Love New York" and "I Love California" by, oh a million miles.

The song was originally chosen through Interent polling, though the Oklahoma house failed to pass the measure last week after getting all uptight about things. (thanks to Aversion.com)

What would Orange County's official song be?
Something by No Doubt perhaps? Pennywise? NOFX?
