Thanks for the thread!!!

Btw, what's up with the random Portuguese phrase ''COMO EXPRESSÃO"?

oh sorry thats not random if you check the source...

i think is 'as expression' in english, what means in the example: "God, u're so handsome" = "OH FUCK, u're so handsome" = "I'M CRAZY, u're so handsome" ... not "God you're so handsome please bless me and my man to be togheter forever" 

 

LOL  :et:

 

++ i'll refresh with you collab guys soon

Soft Drinks

Cola: "My pussy tastes like Pepsi cola"

Serial Killer: "You can see me drinking cherry Coke"

Diet Mountain Dew: "Diet Mountain Dew, baby, New York City"

[i know there's more, but I can't think of them right now]

Hmmm, yeah. It's interesting how many products/brands she sings about. There's a lot of them:

 

All the cars she mentions. I'm sure someone has listed them before including Bugatti and Chevrolet.

Asics

Grand Ole Opry (okay not a brand or product, I suppose it's trademarked though)

Cherry Schnapps, Pabst Blue Ribbon, Bacardi

Ruby Tuesday

 

Other than Jaguar, I wonder if any other brand is paying her to mention their brands in her songs. Good way to make even more money. :dmd:


Sweeping scents and blue hydrangea. Summer hail and summer stranger.

  • HDB - '’Im in my party dress.''
  • National Anthem - ''Money is the anthem of success, so put on mascara and your party dress.''
  • Smarty - '' Put me in a party dress one time.''

I'm sure there's more, but..

Lana and proper nouns. 

There we go! I was racking my brain, trying to find a new title for this thread, and now I have one.

Thank you, M0N1k3Я. :cuteface:

But...the previous title was more descriptive and accurate, as this thread is about more than just proper nouns.  :uh:
