The whole "cocoa puff"/"ko-ko bop" debate is so fucking funny to me because like every girl I went to kindergarten with was OBSESSED with Down, Down Baby... so when I first heard the song there was ZERO question in my mind that she was saying "Jimmy, Jimmy cocoa puff" and I loved the reference, only to find that everyone was at WAR about it  
 
That being said, I'm still a cocoa puff truther From some ~independent research~, it looks like "Down, Down Baby" has gone the route of virtually every playground chant, and separate variants have emerged with either "ko-ko bop" or "cocoa puff," the second of which is way less documented online. HOWEVER (!) as a child of the early 2000s, I wouldn't doubt that Country Grammar had some effect on spreading the "cocoa puff" variant. Like, I remember this rhyme circa 2005-6, so that's not too far out from the song being released. Besides, interpolating a playground chant into a bratty slut anthem is so very Lana, yes

lana confirmed that it's jimmy jimmy cocoa puff on her family tiktok "familyheirlooms" but its most likely a reference to nelly's country grammar, where it's shimmy shimmy cocoa what?, which is in itself an interpolation of shimmy shimmy ko-ko bop by little anthony and the imperials, which is ALSO interpolating (shimmy shimmy) ko-ko wop by the el capris
 
it's weirdly complicated lmao

Lana doesn't even remember her own lyrics half the time 

end of discussion. Lana doesn’t need to come out and say it when the evidence is this clear.

how do people not know the fucking reference….this is embarrassing, i must be a fucking geezer.

Guys, if she says it's Jimmy Jimmy Cocoa Puff, then that's what it is. I really don't see why she'd joke? She has clarified lyrics that fans have asked about before. IMO, it makes 1000% more sense for her to be referencing a Nelly song ("Country Grammar") because it would have been a popular song/was released in 2000 when she was in high school. There is a quote where Lana talks about being 15 years old during boarding school, and her teacher introduced her to hip-hop, Tupac, Biggie Smalls, etc. It's quite likely she was listening to Nelly too. To be fair, cocoa puff is also referencing ko ko bop, just in a more roundabout way. It's like a game of telephone:

Shimmy Shimmy Koko Bop (Little Anthony & the Imperials 1959) 
Shimmy Shimmy Cocoa Puff (Nelly 2000) 
Jimmy Jimmy Cocoa Puff (Lana 2023)
 
I'm sorry to be so adamant, but I'm a Cocoa Puff Truther, and I don't think it makes sense to be discounting the answer that came right from Lana's mouth (or keyboard)

I don’t support the death of my people and ancestors and family, let’s get that in check before you go and call me anything else. weirdo.

Heyyyyyyyyy
I made this cover for a mixtape idea I had made of early BTD demos and some unreleased from the time. hope u like it 
what songs would you put on it?

 
i also posted this on my insta @codeysdesigns 

this is, no doubt, one of her best songs ever

lana’s saddest song I tear up everytime it plays

This is the best song she’s EVER WRITTEN. I wish she would put this on an album that she releases. 

"i can't do this once more, no man can keep me together, been broken since i was born"      i feel this lyric on a spiritual level, this is one of the best songs she's ever written honestly. 

In the name of higher consciousness
I let the best man I knew go
'Cause it's nice to love and be loved
But it's better to know all you can know
 
Ah, she was well beyond her years with this one

This song was written on Friday - June 16, 2006.
 
The original line was 
"I pawned the earrings that you gave me. Gold & silver flowers hanging."
 
(so it's safe to say the official new line is "metal flowers" rather than "made of flowers" since that's been up for debate.)

i always connect this song to ride, because when she says
 
"i knew that it takes getting everything you ever wanted, and then loosing it to know what true freedom is"
 
its almost a reference to loosing things like this that meant alot to her

According to David Kahne...
"A story about Lizzy selling he earrings in a pawn shop in the Bronx. It's such a strong image of loss and strength in the face of it, and of taking responsibility for our own faults"

tbh i i cry almost everytime I put this song on, i truly love it, its so bittersweet and honest, and very strong of lana to let go of something so important to make her life into a work of art

I 100% agree it's definitely the best song on a.k.a, and my favourite song of all time by her!
