    I like this game. :)

     

    Born to Die: Lucky Ones 1,043 plays

    AKA: Smarty 330 plays (although Yayo is my favorite)

    Sirens: Bad Disease 21 plays

    Unreleased: Hundred Dollar Bill 1,075 plays

    Demos: Radio 839 plays

    Collabs: Not enough collabs for me to even care.

     

    You don't like the collabs? Why the hell not?

     

     

    I think it's safe to say that Lolita is the most played demo overall and For K the most played from Sirens.

    Which means that the Ride Or Die Bitches are this weeks winners and are therefore immune from elimination! Also, as SitarHero scored the highest in the winning group, his entry 'Born To Die: The American Dream' will be used in upcoming challenges.

    Commiserations to this weeks losers, The Trailer Park Darlings. You three are up for elimination.

     

    This is bittersweet because Children of the Bad Revolution all had really good entries, and I don't feel like I really earned it. I suppose that's the name of the game. Are we just totally abandoning the other entries for mine from now on? I'd like to see a lot of them developed.

     

    I want to discuss my standouts from the other teams because otherwise this game won't be very exciting.

    • Loved Mattiern's entry "Suburban Motels", the lyric he included gave me chills. In light of his team's lack of participation, I thought he held his own and that's really one of my favorite songs concepts from all of the entries combined.
    • The now defunct MissDaytona's entry was really good. I should be less sad that we're losing a strong contender, but she was a good girl and I'm sorry she was so offended by "Boarding School". Obviously I liked her theme because mine was pretty similar. You know, I thought I was safe because I didn't choose The Great Gatsby, which is Fitzgerald's more obvious novel on the American Dream. Well, great minds think alike.
    • Neal's "Coney Island Queen" really got me--I imagined some, like, beach sounds throughout it, so it really painted a picture. Also, I see the whirlwind you were referencing :teehee:
    • Hunter had a real "songwriter" entry, and I was thoroughly impressed. With some of those descriptions...ugh, I thirst for them to come to fruition. The lyrics added something necessary to the whole entry, sort of generating excitement and impressing me like a real review might. I also really liked the review format, whereas I just kind of said "I want this because this". I'm glad I wasn't the only one with the idea for her to write a track about Alabama, and I liked the description to his better by comparison. This challenge is stressful because I know she'll never sing "Original Sin" or "Goodbye New York", and that kinda sucks. This one had my favorite song content.
    • HDB's element of fiction sold it for me--it's a new idea, out of the box, and the songs he thought up were strong. If Lana ever did a song like "Black Widow", I might actually convulse. Everyone came up with great cover songs, but "Mr. Sandman" struck me as really genius. And closing it with "Jack Daniels" is just forlorn and vague enough to leave everything up for reinterpretation. This would be a concept that offers something new with every listen. As themes go, this one was my favorite.

    Good job, everyone! Curious what we'll be doing in the future...do we even have enough weeks until Paradise comes out to do that many challenges?

    Scrolling through my library, I observed a rare phenomenon where none of my absolute favorite songs are "most played". Got me thinking that it would be interesting to make a thread to share which of Lana's songs we've individually played to death.

    The form will go like so -

    Paradise:

    Born to Die:
    AKA:
    Sirens:
    Unreleased:
    Demos:
    Collabs:

    Simple enough? I'll do mine as an example -

    Born to Die: Blue Jeans
    AKA: Queen of the Gas Station
    Sirens: For K
    Unreleased: Kinda Outta Luck
    Demos: Lolita (First Demo)
    Collabs: Ridin' (w/ A$AP Rocky)

    'If you wanna be that pin up queen'

     

    Agree wholeheartedly.

     

    But I swear I hear a "little" in the Tommy line. Neither option is striking me with a sense of ~correctness.

     

     

    What do you guys think of "I'm living in a pro-ana nation" instead of "I'm a fan"?

    The only one I don't really hear is "later". But of COURSE it's Wall Street, duh. Thanks, evil. You always help our lyrical blunders. I THOUGHT I heard a "K" in the Pepsi line, but at the most came up with "Coke and Pepsi", which is morally WRONG.

     

    Now we need the master Dale/Neal to figure out what the group vacationing line is.

    WAIT. Just read SitarHero's.

     

    :oprah:

    I FUCKING CAN'T. Our ideas are so similar.

     

    WE ARE ON THAT FUCKING WAVE LENGTH BABY. :legend:

    And, SitarHero, I LOVED your work. Reminded me so much of something Lana would really do. Especially loved the title "Bombs Bursting" and the David Bowie cover. I FUCKING CANT. WHY ARE ARE YOU SO BRILLIANT?!?

     

    Oh no, please don't slay me :defeated:

     

    Thanks, though. I was worried I was relying too much on pretty word pairings, so I'm glad you like that title! ;)

    THIS IS NOW AVAILABLE? :excited:

     

    Isn't it "you're so cruel" ?

     

    At what point?

     

    EDIT: Oh right, duh.

     

     

    It sounds like "I'll go on a group vacationing/vacation, and" instead of "I don’t wanna group vacationing".

     

    That's actually a coherent sentence, so I'll replace it ;)

    You boys are my loves, and you know that. I can't wait for you guys to see- I worked super hard. Can't wait to show you and hear what you guys think! I hope it lives up to your expectations!

     

    You have reached your quota of positive votes for the day

     

    Umm, I think everyone has posted?

     

    Riley's not done evaluating, though. We haven't even seen yours yet.

     

    I will say that "10/10" has me freaking out, thank you, Riley :love:

     

    I do want to talk about everyone else's as well, once it's all here.

    I

    LOVE

    YOU

     

    And where you wrote "tuckered as"I think I hear "tattoo (something)".

     

    Tattooed...ass?

     

    You thought that I was just a calendar kitten

    But now you heard me purring, tiger, you’re smitten

    It's "I'm a fan of pro ana nation, I do them (the?) drugs to stop food cravings"

     

    which is why I hate the song.. though I love the 80's - horror film intro-ness of it, that line sickens me

     

    Thanks, that makes a lot of sense! Although I hear "villain" pretty distinctly, probably because I trained myself to, though.

    Everyone from home says that you’re so cool
    Come on everybody to the boarding school
    Everyone from town says that you’re so cool
    Come on get down to the boarding school

    L-l-let’s do drugs
    Make love with our teachers

    Come on, date a townie, let his tattooed-ass beat ya
    I’m a fan of pro-ana nation
    I do them drugs to stop the f-food cravings
    If you wanna get high with me

    I’m in the back doing crack, drinking P-P-Pepsi

    Everyone from home says that you’re so cool
    Come on everybody to the boarding school
    Everyone from town says that you’re so cool
    Come on get down to the boarding school

    She trailer trash and everyone knows it
    But she got a great ass and she knows how to show it
    With American flags on each little finger
    You’re crashing on Wall Street while I’m blowing up as a singer

    If you wanna get that scholarship
    Yale's not a problem, let’s solve it
    Educated in the language of doin’ it
    Get down like your tutor taught you to and do it

    Everyone from home says that you’re so cool
    Come on everybody to the boarding school
    Everyone from town says that you’re so cool
    Come on get down to the boarding school

    If you wanna get that sugar cake
    If you wanna be that pin-up queen
    You can, you can
    If you wanna do that South Beach swing
    Or go on group vacationing
    You can, you can, you can

    When they said prolific, they weren’t kiddin’
    You thought that I was just a calendar kitten
    But now you heard me purrin’, tiger, you’re smitten
    So let’s begin to major in the art of sinning

    Everyone from home says that you’re so cool
    Come on everybody to the boarding school
    Everyone from town says that you’re so cool
    Come on get down to the boarding school

    Get down, get down…
