Prom Song (Gone Wrong)

[LipsterDelRey 179]

I think I heard "King Tut" the first time I listened to this song. After that, it came out as "King, too".

 

King Tut actually makes no sense in context, when you think about it. Cleopatra was the beautiful 30-ish queen who probably didn't have sex with Marc Antony. Tutankhamen was a sixteen year old boy king who died of an infection in his broken leg. He also probably had a large imbalance in his estrogen levels, since his sarcophagus and mummy both have unreasonably large breasts. Beyond the fact that they're both Egyptian rulers, I don't see much that makes sense about the King Tut lyric.

 

That's very correct but I don't think Lana would think about it, tbh. When you mention Tut, people automatically think great egyptian ruler and that's what I think Lana meant. We know Lana doesn't make much sense sometimes. Idk, I think it would be a great coincidence that "the king too" would sound so much like "the king tut" when she's talking about Cleopatra. But idk, it could be the king too, i hear both

All this time I've been singing "Make up stories 'bout my life and that I'm very Cherry Bomb" :'(

[smoledman 199]

I'm surprised nobody got the Who reference.

I'm surprised nobody got the Who reference.

I did, I just thought it was obvious.

[lola 6,613]

It's you in the hall like hello, hello

 

 I hear "I'd see you..."

[QueenofAlchemy 186]

By Queen Diana, does she mean:

 

Diana Princess of Wales -or- Wonder Woman ?

 

I assume its the former, but both are princesses not queens so idk

[tropicunt 638]

Maybe because it's similar to Damn You and Paris that this remain my fave of the recent.I think it's:I'd flip my hair and make you stare and put my makeup onAnd make up stories 'bout my life and that I'm very cherry bonAnd even then I knew that we were something seriousThat you would dominate my thoughts like radio the SiriusAa~nd, my misheard-lyric-of-the-day would be:

And make up stories 'bout my life and bought 'em berry cherry bonAnd even then I knew that we were something seriousThat you would dominate my thoughts like pretty ultra-serious

 

 

I definitely hear "and make up stories bout my life and how I'm very cherry bomb

which makes sense to me and sounds like something lana would say...

have to say very cherry balm kind of makes more sense though...

[Philomene 926]

I hear "make up stories about my very cherry bomb" which would mean she lies about her sexual life

[QueenofAlchemy 186]

When i hear Cherry Bomb, I think of the Runaways (the Joan jett Band) 

 

Hello Daddy, hello Mom, I'm your Ch-ch-ch-ch-cherry bomb

[ultraviolenced 64]

I've heard speculation that this song is about a relation with a teacher. That reminds me of Boarding School, in a way.

She denied those rumors when asked about in an interview, but we all know what really happened

 

 

They fucked

 

[lmdr 9,894]

I hear

"Dancing 'til the dawn, free and forever young"

[HEARTCORE 18,829]

I've always heard 'See you in the hall like hello, hello' instead of 'It's you in the hall like hello, hello'

[CarcrashBandicoot 759]

I always heard 

"Watching television, kissing 'til we see the sun"

[lmdr 9,894]

I always heard 

"Watching television, kissing 'til we see the sun"

Uumm me too

[WhiteHydrangea 4,200]

I just realized this song is about her teacher, oh mr Campbell

[Say Yes to Heaven 27,012]

this song title is still so perplexing to me

[WhiteHydrangea 4,200]

why nobody told me Mr Campbell was 22 and she was 15 omg 

 

“When I was 15, I had this teacher called Gene Campbell, who is still my good friend,” begins Lana. “In boarding school, to become a teacher you don’t have to have a Masters. I was 15 and he was 22, out of Georgetown. He was young, and at school you were allowed to take trips out at the weekends. On our driving trips around the Connecticut counties, he introduced me to Nabokov, (Allen) Ginsberg, (Walt) Whitman, and even Tupac and Biggie. He was my gateway to inspirational culture. Those inspirations I got when I was 15 are still my only inspirations. I draw from that same well. It’s one world I dip into to create other worlds. Like this philosopher Josiah Royce once said: ‘Without the roots, you can’t have any fruits.’”
