Songs Lana should cover

Recommended Posts

I really think she could do a stellar cover of Fade Away and Radiate by Blondie

 

She could use her lower register, have some light shimmering electric guitar in the background, and the song itself pulses with longing and nostalgia

 

I just really want to hear her sing "dusty frames that still arrive die in 1955" with all that guitar :defeated:

 

It's so ominous too, I reckon she and sky ferreira could each do it real justice

A very obscure and hardly listened to song from way back, but bringing it up to modern times, it would defenitly

be a next Hit for Lana Del Rey  :)   

 

The Waitresses - "I Know What Boys Like"

 

 

I know what boys like
I know what guys want
I know what boys like
I've got what boys like
I know what boys like
I know what guys want
I see them looking
I make them want me
I like to tease them
They want to touch me
I never let them
I know what boys like
I know what guys want
I know what boys like
Boys like, boys like me
But you, you're special
I might let you
You're so much different
I might let you
Mmm, would you like that
I might let you
I know what boys like
I know what guys want
I know what boys like
I know what's on their minds
I what what boya like
I know what guys want
They talk about me
I got my cat moves
That so upset them
Zippers and buttons
Fun to frustrate them
They get so angry
Like pouty children
Denied their candy
I laugh right at them
I know what buys like
I know what guys want
I know what boys like
Boys like, boys like me
I feel sad now
I will let you
Sorry I teased you
I will let you
This time I mean it
I will let you
Anything you want
You can trust me
I really want to
You can trust me
How would you like it
You can trust me
Sucker
Hmmmm
I know what boys like
I know what guys want
I know what boys like, boys
Like, boys like me

I've been thinking about this for a few months now but I would LOVE to hear her sing Ramada Inn by Neil Young. I can only imagine her singing "Every morning comes the sun // And they both rise into the day // Holding on to what they've done" like it would keep the folk feel she's  trying to do but with really strong guitars

I wanna be loved by you, just you
And nobody else but you
I wanna be loved by you, alone!
Boop-boop-a-doop!
I wanna be kissed by you, just you
Nobody else but you
I wanna be kissed by you, alone!
Boop-boop, I couldn't aspire
To anything higher
Than, filled with desire
To make you my own !
Boop-boop-a-doop, boop-boop-a-doop! 
 
I wanna be loved by you, just you
And nobody else but you
I wanna be loved by you, alone!
Aa-ah-um! Boop-boop-a-doop!
Daddle-at-dat-dat-dumb,
I couldn't aspire
To anything higher
Than, filled with desire
To make you my own
Bup-bum, butle-doodle-dumb-bum!
 
I wanna be loved by you, just you
Nobody else but you
I wanna be loved by you, a-lup-a-dup-a-dup-a-dup!
Boop-boop-a-doop

If by not 'up to par' you mean distilling the worst elements that only kind of work in songs, sure. I could put a dictionary audiobook on shuffle and put it to an instrumental of old money and some of y'all would still be saying it's 50/50 lmfao.

I would die for you 
I would die for you 
I've been dying just to feel you by my side 
To know that you're mine 

I will cry for you 
I will cry for you 
I will wash away your pain with all my tears 
And drown your fear 

I will pray for you 
I will pray for you 
I will sell my soul for something pure and true 
Someone like you 

See your face ever place that I walk in 
Hear your voice every time that I'm talking 
You will believe in me 
And I will never be ignored 

I will burn for you 
Feel pain for you 
I will twist the knife and bleed my aching heart 
And tear it apart 

I will lie for you 
Beg and steal for you 
I will crawl on hands and knees until you see 
You're just like me 

Violate all the love that I'm missing 
Throw away all the pain that I'm living 
You will believe in me 
And I could never be ignored 

I would die for you 
I would kill for you 
I would steal for you 
I'd do time for you 
I would wait for you 
I'd make room for you 
I'd sail ships for you 
To be close to you 
To be part of you 
'Cause I believe in you 
I believe in you 
I would die for you

I'd personally love to hear her take a crack at Silver Springs :flutter:

I’m currently listening to Flower Child by U2 and it’d be interesting to her her take on it. :flutter:

 

 

As a U2 fan I would say that is a cool song (great choice ClampiGirl  :)  ) , its an interersting song, but I find it to be a little too upbeat for her voice.

Perhaps she could cover a slower U2 song which her voice would fit nicely, something like a rare U2 song version adding more violins to the song,

making it more cinematic-dramatic and her voice would fit real good into this song...

I know, hehe, that’s why I’m curious how she’d make the song to her own. ^^’ But your suggestion is great too! Love that song. :) The Hands That Built America is another slow song and also filled with New York images, maybe she could pull it off too..? :flutter:

U2’s songs are so perfect already so it would be hard to top them though.
