LOLITA vs LOLYTA

[Platinum Greenwich 13,566]

Which of these is the correct title? I've seen both floating around tumblr (plus Google and YouTube suggest the latter, despite the former being ~*official*~) and I'm just like... wasn't "Hey Lolita Hey" enough to begin with?
I suspect this has to do with the demos though, so if anyone can enlighten me -- please do!

 

EDIT: The more I think about it, the more I'm convinced a general thread with alternate titles for Lana's songs would probably make the world a better place to live.

It's Lolita That's what it says on the CD anyway.

[Trash Magic 26,846]

Hey Lolita Hey and Lolita are the only official titles for the song but I think Lolyta was registered as a alternate title?

 

either way I don't ever tag any as Lolyta

[Trinity 1,219]

I just call all the versions Lolita, but I've seen both names, too. Also, I've seen it called "Be My Baby Tonight" or something like that!

the offical title is Lolita. It was origanaly called Hey Lolita Hey - shes called it that in old interviews. The 'Lolyta' misspelling is common, not just for lanas song but for the movie and book aswell. Its most likely because Lolita is also a name for child pr0n so obviously people dont wanna look that up. ( btw i only kno the pr0n thing because i looked up lolita on urban dictionary)

Lolyta irks me.

i really do wish they kept the name Hey Lolita Hey, though.

"Lolita" is listed as the 4th best work of fiction in history by Modern Library, so its popularity and importance clearly transcend the perv crowd.

I never saw Lolyta, so I think it's Lolita

[Heaux 1,396]

@@sjrq yes i know that. But what i meant was that people who were looking for the song/book/movie online wouldnt want to search for the word lolita because of what else it means.

[Heaux 1,396]

the lolyta name is probably common aswell because if you type lolita into youtube, nothing comes up in the suggestions while your typing. But when u type Lana del rey lol.... its suggests lolyta but not lolita

[teethclick 895]

From what I remember (so I'm not 100% on this, but I'm pretty sure) Hey Lolita Hey is this demo

 

Lolyta appeared on a torrent with Lana Del Ray A.K.A. Lizzy Grant + Kinda Outta Luck + Lolyta.

[pinupgirls 1,056]

My favorite version is spelled Lolyta but who really knows. 

Great song regardless. 

[sonicalana 254]

I'll never be able to keep track of all the demos and alternate spellings and versions and everything... so the people here on lanaboards keep track for me

[Limelight 4,697]

Lolyta irks me.

Same with me

isn't that because youtube doesn't suggest 'naughty words' and lolita is apparently one of them because of the porn corner of it?

 

Also, i heard 'lolyta' was a mistake made by whoever leaked it or something? idk it's just something I've heard.

[COLACNT 5,170]

one time, i uploaded a lolita (demo) and the official recording under the content ID was 'lolyta' 

 

on our way (demo) was also titled 'heavier than heavenly' for some reason (?) 

[TrailerParkDarling 5,679]

i just have it as lolyta. but i also use the titles born 2 die and china doll so 

[Bad Kid 318]

I've never ever seen it registered or called Lolyta by any official source. She originally uploaded the video as Hey Lolita Hey, which is why people still call it that.

[lanaismamom 11,150]

this has been confusing me for a long time now (and not me since this thread was created) and i need help - is lolyta an actual alt title for hey lolita hey? for this whole time ive seen so many disputes about this, and probably the title originates from that infamous fake tracker of AKA with kinda outta luck in tracklist, but later i was reading one interview of her and they mentioned the first version as lolyta, and also many users here usually uses that as alt name, but early lanaboards says it’s a wrong spelling, so idk with what should i settle down
