Mileena 2,693 Posted November 8, 2012 For me, Cola is more like my Put Me in a Movie 2.0: eyeroll at first listen --> deletes it from iTunes --> puts it back --> "but no, seriously?" --> unchecks it in iTunes --> admits it's kinda pretty --> rechecks it in iTunes --> "but why did she have to go with THAT choice of words, exactly?" --> destined to break into my top 5 of that album (but wait, with TPE that's not saying as much...) 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PrettyBaby 2,220 Posted November 8, 2012 You...deleted PMIAM? "No, I do not like little girls. No, I do not like men who like little girls. No, I just... No. NO!" "Okay, maybe I like that you like to act like a.... NO!" (The trick is not to try and resolve the cognitive dissonance too quickly btw.) 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JhnMabius 175 Posted November 9, 2012 Stop comparing Cola to her other work - it's really original >_> And her other work isn't? I compare it because OTTR is considered to be one of the best songs from BTD, I'm actually praising the song. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sitar 22,218 Posted November 10, 2012 I actually think Cola is OTTR + Match Made in Heaven + Get Drunk + Serial Killer, not even joking. Deal 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
National Anthem 9,905 Posted November 10, 2012 I personally don't see the similarity between Cola and Off To The Races at all. In fact Cola is basically my favorite on Paradise and Off To The Races is one of my least favorites on BTD. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DUKE 2,530 Posted November 12, 2012 "Cola" definitely is one of her best songs so far, I think. I love how polarizing the opening lyrics are. The media has attempted to draw this very superficial character of her and there seems to be a constant misconception about her personality. She is easily put off as a shallow, asexual and innocent Hollywood rehash which is totally uninteresting in real life. What I have found so fascinating about her from the beginning on was that she was far from being a one-sided character. In fact, she doesn't fit any particular stereotype of women, even if she portrays herself as such sometimes. Sexually explicit lyrics like "My pussy tastes like Pepsi Cola" and even her numerous ambiguous double-entendres on Born to Die smash any attempt made to reduce her to some homogenous cliché. Seeing, at least in the German media, how this is now categorized as a small controversy, I can only applaud her courage to stand by the sexually-charged lyrical imagery she creates, even though she was advised to drop it. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wasn't talking about the Pepsi Cola line, I have always lived under the impression (by listening) that Lana sings something with a blow job in "Boarding School" but she doesn't. Thank God I noticed now. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
