LANABOARDS ULTIMATE SONG RANKING 2013

It’s almost the end of the year and Lana’s song library has surpassed 200 tracks. Every year, Lanaboards holds an event when we, the members, vote for our favourite songs and then the results (The Top 100) are slowly published on New Year’s Eve/Day.

Last year, Ride, Yayo and Blue Jeans took the top spots but with the influx of new many leaks and unreleased songs this year, anything can happen in the Top 10. This is a great way to get involved in the community and to discuss Lana’s many songs. If you’re not a member of the forum yet, join this growing community and vote for your favourite songs today!
 
         
 
The Rules:
Only Lanaboards members can vote (signing up is easy!) You may vote +up 20 tracks and vote -down 5 tracks (for a total of 25.) Only votes via PM will be counted, please do not post your votes in this thread. But feel free to discuss. Please do not vote for remixes; they will not be counted (not even Summertime Sadness CG Remix). Live performances of one off songs are okay to vote for*. You can vote for demos but please do not vote for multiple versions of the same song** (exceptions apply***.) Voting period:
Voting starts December 11th 2013 Voting ends December 30th 2013. Reveal:
Results will be posted in a 100th to 1st countdown format some time between December 31st 2013 and January 1st 2014. While the counting is happening, members are encouraged to participate in a group discussion about the songs and their ranking. While the Top 100 songs are being revealed, I will reveal one of the Flop 10 songs after every ten is revealed; revealing the best and worst at the end of the countdown. Songs in 100th to 11th place will have a banner made by @@Ultraviolence. Songs in 10th to 1st place will have a typographical poster made by @@Rebel. This thread will be locked after the deadline, and the countdown will happen in a different thread.  
Participation:
Simply send me a private message with your song ranking by December 30th. There will be enough time to think about your list. Maybe you could consider listening to a few unreleased songs that you are unfamiliar with or re-listen to AKA and Sirens until your ears bleed! Tell all of your friends about this and please encourage members to vote! The more people who participate, the more accurate and interesting the final results will be. Click here to see last year's results!

 

 
What Not To Do:


 

 
Notes:


 
Prizes:
Since it's the holiday season, every person who votes will be entered to the Lana Del Rey x Jack Daniel's shirt giveaway! A true original, since I designed the print myself. I have an abundance of them since I have been selling them for a long time and I think it would be a great way to persuade everyone to get involved.
 
If you want a chance to get one, be sure to vote soon! I will also make a mixtape CD of the Top 10 or 15 songs in the ranking and send it with the shirt. Keep it or give it to a friend, it's up to you!
 
   
 
HAPPY VOTING!
HAVE A MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!

YASSS SLAY REBEL SLAY GET DAT PROMO YASSS

In the land of gods and monsters I was an angel, playing in the back yard

B-A-D-D-E-S-T
Baddest girl at the Spelling Bee

Pushing up my beliefs in your face.

Remember how we used to politely knock and respect the business hours of the hotel, only swimming if there is a lifeguard present?

I went into a great amount of detail about Lana's underwater pose being the same as Aaliyah's in her rock the boat video & found videos that someone could claim Lana copied by her various poses & shit.   

PARTITION
In "Partition", the camera takes us inside a palatial estate that almost looks like it could have been the setting for the "Born to Die" video. See the exterior and interior below:

 
In the first of several scenes curiously similar to ones out of "National Anthem", we find Mrs. Carter seated at an immaculately set table, barely noticed by her rapper husband peering over his newspaper:

 
In her mind, she embarks on a sexual fantasy. Again she channels Rosalita:

 
Her rapper husband feels up her leg in a vehicle:

 
She puts on a show for him, donning a sequined flapper headdress like Lizzy wears in this photo:

 
Silhouette techniques like something out of "Summertime Sadness" are employed:

 
Beyoncé pole dances like Lana in Tropico over a sexy French spoken interlude like in "Carmen":

 
Like A$AP Rocky in "National Anthem", her rapper husband watches her performance voyeuristically, smoking a cigar:

 
 
JEALOUS
Beyoncé is a jealous, jealous, jealous gurrrrrl. This video begins in the same estate reminiscent of "Born to Die" as in "Partition". In one scene, the former Miss Knowles is draped over a pinball machine like Lana in "Ride":

 
In another we see a "tunnel lined with yellow lights":

 
 
ROCKET
Like "Blue Jeans", "Rocket" opens on a black & white close-up of a reflection of the artist's face in a ripple of water:

 
Later in each video we watch the artist submerge her face in water in slow motion:

 
 
MINE
Like Lana in the poster for Tropico, we find Beyoncé re-enacting Mary in the Pieta:

 
Also, is that another Shaun Ross cameo?
 
 
XO
In "XO", Beyoncé orchestrates perhaps the largest NYC land grab since Dutch settlers bought Manhattan Island from Native Americans for 24 bucks, stealing the famed amusement destination from the Queen of Coney Island herself:

 

 

 

 
 
***FLAWLESS & SUPERPOWER
Since I can't find any Lana plagiarism in either of these videos, I'm just gonna go ahead and assume they must be borrowed from the "Dark Paradise" and "Cola" videos that never materialized. @@Ultraviolence Watch these. One of them may be the closest thing you'll ever get to your precious "Cola" video.
 
 
HEAVEN
Here we have the biggest plot heist since Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds ripped off Gremlins. In "Heaven", Beyoncé portrays a woman mourning her deceased female bff in a series of flashbacks. Sound familiar? Of course it does. It's the plot of Lana's "Summertime Sadness" video. Not content to copycat one Lana video, "Heaven" filches from a few. A shot in a church mirrors the chapel in "Born to Die":

 
In a flashback, Beyoncé's girlfriend sprays alcohol at a campfire party echoing scenes in "Ride":

 
And we see her and her gal pal riding in a car like Lana & Jaime King:

 
She only barely tries to disguise her copying Lana's recitation of the Lord's Prayer in Tropico by saying it in Spanish. Oh, and speaking of Spanish, here's Rosalita yet again:

 
 
BLUE
Sure, there's another "tunnel lined with yellow lights":

 
The sequined bra is back:

 
And she evokes Lizzy's showgirl style:

 
But most saliently, this song is about Beyoncé's, uh, baby Blue love, the black baby daughter she had with a rapper. What a blatant "National Anthem" ripoff!

 
 
GROWN WOMAN
Last but not least, the video for "Grown Woman" consists of home footage of Beyoncé's childhood performances, a clear homage to Lana's DIY videos.
 
 
 

My soft dress erection

My soft dress erection

Oh say can you see. I listen to it every night before I sleep
 
oh say can you see

Oh say can you see. I listen to it every night before I sleep
 
oh say can you see

My soft dress erection

TROPICO is coming

Summertime sadness gets played all the time here in South Africa. Like all the time. I think its her most well known song here. I was so excited to know people knew about it.

In Ghetto Baby
 
 
"Dark glam" instead of Brooklyn"
 
 
"Come on do The Ghetto baby"

Listen to Brite Lites when you are hungry and you get this:
 
I gave you everything
I gave you everything
 
Give me the fried rice
Give me the fried rice
Give me the fried rice

i used to think: "take me to the hamptons, bacardi flavored rum" 

Also in TIWMUG, it says "high heels in her hand". I always thought it said "flyers in her hand" and had this image of a drunk girl passing out flyers for something on the side of the road while Lana just leans against a chain link fence and smokes a cigarette..
It's a beautiful image, I tell you. It really is.   

Oh say can you see. I listen to it every night before I sleep
 
oh say can you see
