lana right now rehearsing let me love you like a woman for her performance:
 

Lana after 8 years of not being on TV: 

Wonder Woman, Ricky Martin AND Lana all in one show??? Whatever gay man planned that night's episode needs a RAISE!!  
the gay trifecta! 

I’m so excited! <3 the 14th can’t come soon enough! 

would this be her first big live tv performance since snl? i think she's going to do great!  

JK I’m so exciteed!!!!!!!!

Lana Del Rey will be a musical guest on the Jimmy Fallon Show on December 14. She will close the show with a performance: https://t.co/954SrlZ03u
 
 
 

Honestly I’ll take whatever we can get sis hasn’t performed on live tv in 8 years.

Kill the bitch. 
 
Also, I don't know how many of you are familiar with Max Schrems, but he's kind of Facebook's worst nightmare and if you have 45 minutes, I would really recommend watching his talk on privacy and data collection:
 

I hate that I have to use that scamming data-stealing website & its messenger because it's where I get my college info and stay in touch with my collegues. I'm permamently deleting that shit first thing when I graduate

NFR is such good studying vibes and idk why that is? im not sure what exactly about the album makes me feel that way hahaha. but it really is a shame the instrumentals haven't leaked yet - they would be SO DAMN GOOD to study to

Poison Ivy is wayyyyy up there w my fav Lean projects, its soooo underrated by fans!! It's perfect for this time of year. Listening to Trashy in the cold while ur half drunk >>>>
 
I rly hope there'll be a way to watch the film online - lockdown means its not premiering in cinemas over here 

I know there’s zero chance of this happening, but Lana would absolutely kill a cover of The Drugs Don’t Work. I could totally see it being the Goodbye Kiss of this era
 
 
 

THIS IS GORGEOUSSSSSS  you had no business popping off like this  I’m so hoping for a 60s, retro-bombshell-esque feel with the cover art and I’m convinced you’ve sowed the seeds that we will reap. Legend behaviour 

i love this
i really hope she goes in this direction since the majority of the songs i’m assuming will be from this era 

WELL HELLO! 
 

 
And welcome to the first edition of what I hope to be many DrUnK cOvErS brought to you by yours truly. What I enjoy about these visuals - aside from the tasty beverages - is that I don’t second guess the artistic direction. I just do what feels right. So without further ado, a retro take on American Standards and Classics:
 
 
 
 
 
 

It does seem odd that she would release this at the start of the northern hemisphere winter, but for once this is a big win for the southern hemisphere 
The first time I listened to this I was walking under the trees, shaded from the hot sun and it was beautiful 

I like it a lot. I loovve the face she does when she sings "Your daddy's rich", it's adorable. The background vocalists are doing their thang. The music video, although simple, is well shot. She's serving face face face... It's a nice cover that I welcome with pleasure !

I looooooove how she sounds her vocals are incredible! a huge fan of the back up vocals too! <3
 
my only criticism is that realistically im not sure how often ill come back to this right now, simply bc this is such a summer song and here in the UK we're deep in the trenches of fall/winter haha. but once it warms up a little this'll be on my spring/summer playlist for sure! she sounds so good and it's SO refreshing to hear her push her vocals more, especially after NFR where her vocals were much more relaxed

Those are the original lyrics in the aria. While the song is a jazz 'standard', The Gershwin Estate actually still wields and exercises an extremely rigorous hold over the rights and performance of the song, which shouldn't/can't be changed without their express permission. It's much easier for artists to just adhere to Gershwin's original lyrics, so most covers include this line.
 
For example - when Sublime used the opening melody of the song they wanted the lyrics to be "Doin' time, and the living's easy" - the request was denied and the use wasn't granted until they changed it back to "Summertime and the livings easy".
 
You're correct however, the word "Mammy" has fallen out of contemporary use and is now considered offensive - it should not be used outside its original historical use. 

Does anyone think the Daddy and Mammy line was kind of weird? Is that the original lyric? Is Mammy an offensive term? I could be completely wrong. I have heard the term used offensively, but that doesn't necessarily make it offensive. Just wondering, I genuinely don't know.

The only thing Lana is pregnant with is two new albums
