Turangalila (pronounced Turanga Leela) is\nthe name of a 10-movement symphony by Olivier Messiaen (an absolutely WILD\npiece of music, but hardly standard repertoire; a cult classic, so to\nspeak). I was astounded at this allusion. It can't be a coincidence. I\nwonder if \"turangalila\" appears in any context other than as the title of\nMessiaen's \"hindu symphony.\" I've never heard of it, if so. Messiaen on\nFuturama? Amazing. (No musical quotes on the show, however. Still, my jaw\ndropt!)"

I had a vague\nassociation with the movie . . . hmm, what was it?  \"Fried Green Tomatoes\"?\nWhere the old woman, telling about her tomboyish youth, gave the\nnom-de-tomboy \"Tarawanda\" (or something like that) for herself, or it was\nher rallying cry, which was then taken up by the younger woman when she had\nsome difficulty in a parking lot (iirc).\n\n=mantis="
