The Heaven Seventeen
From Rocklopedia Fakebandica
Jump to navigationJump to searchNumber four artist on the top ten board in the record shop scene of the 1971 classic film A Clockwork Orange. Their song is titled "Inside." Pretty teenybopper Marty (Barbara Scott) asks her pretty teenybopper friend Sonietta (Gillian Hills), "Who you gettin' bratty? Goggly Gogol? Johnny Zhivago? The Heaven Seventeen?" just before Alex (Malcolm McDowell) sweet talks them back to his place for sex. Anthony Burgess' original novel had even more bands in it.
The board says only "Heaven Seventeen" while Marty says "THE Heaven Seventeen." She seems like a true fan, so we'll go with her.
There was a real band that took their name from this fictional one, Heaven 17, formed 1980.
