You know innovation is mainstream when…

I was listening to the radio this morning when the Arctic Monkeys came on. In the middle of the tune “Brain Storm” came a line which made me stop dead. It went “see you later innovator.”

You can verify this here.

The jury is out as to whether this means that innovation is waaay cool – as it’s being name checked in music – or that it means that the word innovation (and all it’s variations) is so overused that it has made it’s way into popular culture. After all I never heard of a band use the words “Six Sigma” in any song (but I stand to be corrected).

Or – maybe it means that the band thought it rhymed nicely with the word ‘later’.

  1. There is actually a band named six sigma: “Six Sigma is a fuzzrock trio based out of Long Branch, New Jersey.” None of the mp3 links on the web site actually work so I am guessing they didn’t apply the management concepts themselves πŸ™‚
