Band Name Origins:
- The name does come from a band in "A Clockwork Orange". But where does THAT band's name come from? The Heeren 17, the Board of Directors of the old Dutch East Indies Company, which ran Indonesia while it was a Dutch colony. Submitted by: Jay Flynn
- The band "Heaven Seventeen" does appear in the novel "A Clockwork Orange". But it's also mentioned in the file (which was released in 1971, not 1973). Submitted by: davorg
