A&W is better known for Root Beer if that helps you 

It’s better than a burger référence I guess

Reasons Why the Sample Could Be Disco: 

 

a) she posted a video with disco in it a while ago (2017) .... she also did that with cherry blossom, and cherry blossom was eventually released. disco could be another one of her favorite tracks that she's made, and she's already shared it in one form, so it's possible she'll want to release it or sample it because she loves it

 

b) there's also the "made me feel like a god" line in white dress which is similar to "i am my only god", another (smaller, perhaps coincidental) callback to disco

 

d) lana posted on honeymoon with the caption "#IJustDon'tCareeeeeee" which is a line from disco (also the only line that she sung in the 2017 video... it could be her favorite line! if she samples a lyric or the melody it could be that one)

 

c) kaiman kazazian (who styled her!! and did the illustrations) posted part of an old video of lizzy singing disco (this one) to her story the same day lana made her "U can take ‘em out of the trailer park but…." post

 

e) she was going through old photos, posted a photo of her in a scarface sweatshirt, etc etc all around the same time as her trailer park girl post in september. these are all very ~lizzy grant~ activities and if she WAS filming something around that time and it WAS related to disco/the song she samples disco in... it makes sense that she'd revisit her lizzy days!

 

f) she posted the ASCAP news clipping from the lizzy show where she met ben, which is just a nice little memory, but she didn't post anything for BTD 10th anniversary so like i don't think she's good at remembering anniversaries unless they're on her mind and why was this one in particular on her mind? because she was revisiting old shows and lizzy things!!!!!!! to prepare for releasing a song that samples disco/releasing disco!!!

 

Spoiler

it could also be a different lizzy song:

kaiman commented this the trailer park post

 

 

yes im crazy and yes to me this is a pawn shop blues reference, cuties are a kind of orange and then the orange emoji... bread and oranges!!!! and chuck posted that video they made to pawn shop blues a while ago!!!!

 

you may be saying, but honeybadger, there's no writers credited for disco! and to that i say lana could've very well written that song all by herself, just as she did with many of her laptop demos and songs around that time, and therefore doesn't need to credit anybody for the writing whether she's sampling lyrics, melody, etc. i don't think she would have to credit anybody besides herself

 

and now i am done.

I agree but also I was thinking about it in a different light and A&W is growing on me. It's such a well known American brand and Lana is so associated with an American aesthetic, especially by the general public who don't know her deeper stuff as well, so it's like she's luring people in expecting a Diet Mountain Dew kinda simple bop and then she completely decimates them with the experience of being an American Whore 

 

(American Whore is the superior title tough )

!!! American Whore is the superior title but A&W kind of feels like part of a Diet Mountain Dew-Cola-A&W trilogy

[Fingertips 72,035]

I'm so glad it's A&W to spare me from the vEniCe bItCh vs AmErIcAn WHoRe i'm SO quIrkY thinkpieces all over social media (and on here) that would never end. Time to find another personality!

Would we consider this a rework though? Bc boz said nothing is reworked so it just makes me wonder. Also, it'd be interesting to know how much of a song is sampled

[Deleted Member 23,728]

When LDR10 has a song called Sunkissed that continues the DMD-Cola-A&W saga yup

Wasn't that a rumored title for this album 

[Lasso 13,198]

Spoiler

 

 

I love the unhinged energy of this post + the tulla gifs 

also, you make a fair point  but then I remember Kintsugi saying it's an absolute fan favorite.... I don't know if Disco would be that impactful (though I LOVE IT and it was my most played song of '22). I think PSB would cause a huge impact though

wtf I don't know how to quote stuff in the website

I truly wish it were American Whore instead of A&W

i would throw the "releasing disco" part out the window then, that was really just an afterthought on my part ...

 

Spoiler

and i wouldn't consider a sample a rework, plus if BOZ considered it to be then he would be contradicting himself 

 

[rosemeadexclusivebbnewyorkcity 2,812]

A&W is a great title. Lana's soda songs are always superior.

[the ocean 67,601]

i know this contradicts my original opinion but i'm team a&w now

it's camp

[Deleted Member 23,728]

okay listen i feel like A&W would’ve been cooler if jack didn’t spoil that the hook of the song is “American Whore” in the first place… it would be a Cola situation and would’ve been a surprise if you’re listening to the song for the first time and then she says that and it shocks you
