GangstaBoy 3,930 Posted April 14, 2014 I love the fact that she sings in Spanish When I heard "His Parliaments on fire" I thought oh, no, not again (like in BE and SS I'm on fire) but then I read about the cigarette brand... that's such a great metaphor for smoking loving this song 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sjrq 150 Posted April 14, 2014 Official or not, I'm still hear "Queens of Saigon" every time, and it does rhyme with "icon" better than "cyclones". 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Summersault 823 Posted April 14, 2014 Official or not, I'm still hear "Queens of Saigon" every time, and it does rhyme with "icon" better than "cyclones". Isn't it a sadly welknown fact that the official lyric booklets always get it wrong? 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sjrq 150 Posted April 14, 2014 Is Lana Cuban? I knew she was speaking Spanish. I'm Spanish but I didn't understand her, LOL. It's beautiful to have a spanish quote Lana said she picked the name "Lana Del Rey" at least in part due to the influence of some Cuban friends down in Florida, so that could be the connection. Maybe true, maybe she made it up.... 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
