Guess we can technically consider "My Song 57/Coca Cola" a Hundred Dollar Bill concept demo too? At least down to the first verse being reworked/interpolated in both and featuring close theme.

[Virgin Mary]

white pontiac heaven —> axl rose husband —> axl rose husband (david kahne) —> paradise 2015

[Auburn Cuprum]

(not a laptop demo but still rough) bad boy -> take me to paris

[LanasPreacher]

Party Girl —> Us Against The World

[Beautiful Loser]

… Is “discuss” just using arrowheads to show connection between songs?

[SEROTONIN]

wolf t shirt -> boarding school ?

 

wolftshirt: "baby what i like about you, you, you is your nails that you wear up to timbuktu, with american flags on each little finger, didn't make my eyes stray and linger"

boarding school: "with american flags on each little finger, youre crasing on wall street while im blowing up as a singer

 

wolftshirt: "don't d-d-don't, d-d-don't don't leave me (you're so cool)"

boarding school: "everyone from town says that you're so cool"

 

also the bridge of boarding school sounds like a wolftshirt verse

idk if this is just lana reusing her lyrics but i very suspect it evolved...

She really held that "Spin me round / Kiss me in your chevrolet" hook for dear life because honey......... I'm still finding/remembering songs that she used that. And somehow it didn't make its way into Born To Die. I guess "On Our Way" was probably the closest chance it had.
