Kinda weird? Chris Martin says he got the name for Coldplay’s new album, Viva La Vida, (Long Live Life) from a painting by Mexican artist Frida Kahlo, who contracted polio at age 6.

According to Coldplay’s site, the full title of the album is Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends.

Rollingstone.com: “She went through a lot of shit, of course, and then she started a big painting in her house that said ‘Viva la Vida. I just loved the boldness of it. Everyone thinks it comes from Ricky Martin, which is fine. I have absolute respect.

“I’ve been through this before, naming something or someone and everyone saying that ‘That’s a terrible name’. But then saying, ‘Well, fuck you, that’s what it’s called, and I’ll be proved to be right eventually’. So when Viva la Vida came along, I was kind of annoyed because I’m going to have to try and convince everybody of this, but it just felt right.”

Well, I think it’s weird. But I will learn to love it.
