Who takes this uniquely touching lament not caught? Lana Del Rey sings in "Video Games" of a heroine who gives everything, but so little gets back. How clever and incredibly nuanced, born in 1986 Elizabeth Grant argues this is a first really clear, if you look on Youtube cover versions and live performances by herself. There are worlds between this recording and the official video and the live video from the German and British television (autumn 2011). Your abortive appearance on American television (Saturday Night Live) from 14.1.2012 must completely hide, of course.

Lana Del Rey has been asked for its distinct pout if her lips were real. She replied that she just "quite pouty" would (pouting). Anyway, Del Rey's appearance fits perfectly with the song told the story: The heroine of which she sings, would have "it" for the sake of doing everything, so no doubt it is also possible with hyaluronic acid increase the lips. Only with metaphysics, which have Lana Del Rey studied stated that she had perhaps not busy ;-).

Also lyrically that's an increase of Where Have All The Cowboys Gone? (Remastered Album Version) by Paula Cole (born 1968) nostalgic dream of her cowboy King. While Paula Coles heroine namely still being negotiated and concrete conditions provides ("I want to do the laundry if you pay all the bills") has Del Rey's heroine subordinated unconditionally:

Swinging in the backyard
Pull up in your fast car
Whistling my name

Open up a beer
And you say get over here
And play a video game

I'm in his favorite sun dress
Watching me get undressed
Take that body downtown

I say you the bestest
Lean in for a big kiss
Put his favorite perfume on

Go play a video game

REFRAIN:
It's you, it's you, it's all for you
Everything I do
I tell you all the time
Heaven is a place on earth with you
Tell me all the things you want to do
I heard did you like the bad girls
Honey, Is that true?
It's better than I ever even knew
They say That the world which built for two
Only worth living if somebody is loving you
Baby now you do
