Can there be any greater joy than to know that when you die, people will remember your life's achievements? And, what is more, that they will do so while wandering along a boulevard which has been named in your honour?
Or perhaps, in the case of the Flaming Lips, that when a cat meanders along a rubbish-strewn alleyway it might catch sight of a street sign and briefly recall that you were that band who put the silly animal people on stage and sang about margarine?
News has emerged that the generous citizens of Oklahoma City - Wayne Coyne and co's home town - have decided to name a previously monikerless "dimly lit street full of dumpsters" after the band, who are said to be "thrilled" by the honour.
Of course les Lips are far from the first popular music notables to have their names borrowed. And every now and then someone gets it so right it hurts. Perhaps amongst the most priceless was the decision by paleontologists at the University of Utah to name a newly-discovered dinosaur after Dire Straits frontman Mark Knopfler. This was apparently inspired by the fact that diggers only seemed to find new specimens of the charmingly-titled Masiakasaurus Knopfleri whilst listening to Brothers in Arms.
Less appropriate, but equally random, was the move by Nigerian officials to name a street after hip-hop ubermogul Jay-Z, mentioned here mainly to give us the opportunity to link to amusing pictures of Jiggaman sporting traditional African dress for the opening ceremony.
Which other famous faces have seen their names appropriated? Post the best answer below and whilst we cannot offer you the sort of dubious immortality which the Flaming Lips now possess, we can promise that your name will forever live on in the annals of Triviahead.
