Talk:Turangalîla-Symphonie
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
What is the connection between Messiaen' work and the FUTURAMA character? Is the "little song she hums to herself" an excerpt from it? Is her name directly derived from the work's title? What is the origin of the word, "Turangalila"? Did Messiaen make it up?
- I'll add a note to the article about the derivation of the title. It's unlikely the name "Turanga Leela" was arrived at independently of the symphony (I mean, it's not exactly "Rachel"), but I don't know for sure. I don't know whether the "little song" is related to the piece - ages since I saw Futurama, can't remember. --Camembert

- I am pretty sure the futurama girl's name is derived from that, but here is an excert of the symphony

[edit] Mildly amusing
I find it funny that "î" turns into "%EE" in the URL, so the name in the URL is "Turangal%EEla_Symphony". Nyuck nyuck. – flamuraiTM 08:20, Feb 6, 2005 (UTC)
