[net.music] Clockwork Orange and Heaven 17...

dan@rna.UUCP (01/12/84)

	While viewing Clockwork Orange for the Nth time on cable, I
caught a mention of Heaven 17. It occurs early when Malcolm is picking
up the two girls licking on ice cream sticks in the record store. He
asks them what type of music they like and then ends with "You are invited!".
	Is this Heaven 17 the same as the current pop-disco band from
England (or is the band named after the mention) ? Have Heaven 17 really
been around that long ?

     The group "Heaven 17" is named after the fictional

group that is mentioned in Clockwork Orange.  How long

have they been around ?  I'm not sure, but one of the

members is formally of "The Human League" and there is

only one album by Heaven 17, which may give some

indication to the groups' age.

The band was named after the quote from Clockwork Orange.

In the same vein, the band The Shoes is named after a quote
from John Lennon, who, when asked why they were called the Beatles,
responded that they could have as easily been called the Shoes.

"Meanwhile, I'm still thinking." (Quick, where's that from?)
