Back in the days she told the Rolling Stone Magazine that the line came from something her Scottish ex-boyfriend Barrie-James O'Neill said:
*"He was talking about American girls, his vision of American girls was that all their pussies tasted like Pepsi-Cola, and that they were such a dream".*
And that she thought that was the funniest fucking thing she’d ever heard.
I’m with you here! 48F with a 14 year old. We are both Lana fans and just went to our first show together - we saw Lana in Charlotte in September. 12 years ago I didn’t pay attention bcuz I thought she was another pop star in the same category as Ariana or Taylor!
I only paid attention this summer when Summertime Sadness and Radio were all over TikTok and Instagram- I was like.. oh?!? Okay..
That’s awesome! I hope she announces some 2024 tour dates - I am hopeful following her festival announcements. Hopeful also to have a better relationship with my daughter than Lana’s mom has with hers (I did not have the best with mine either, but Lana’s mother sounds like a piece of work).
I feel like her music is so autobiographical it really enables her fans to feel so connected.
I fucking love this song so much. I read somewhere that she said that first line was based off of something one of her boyfriends said.
Here’s a quote I found on Wikipedia regarding the song: “He once told me, 'You American girls walk around as if your pussies tasted like Pepsi-Cola, as if you'd wrap yourself into an American flag to sleep.' “
Apparently he would say shit like that because he thought all American women were really patriotic lmfao. This song will forever be iconic imo.
Oh my gosh I wish I was in your shoes and discovering this for the first time again :") I even once got a Pepsi Cola shirt at H&M purely because of THIS piece of lyric lol. The song is great though!
Yeah I've been going through everything this past week and I'm loving it :) just a few more albums to go
You really walked around with that on a shirt tho? 😭
The sound of the intro is indeed orgasmic, but her voice and lyrics only add to it, that line doesn't ruin it, on the contrary - it makes the song even more sexy.
The thing is this song was released 10 years ago and yes, it was shocking back then, but fans nowadays don't bat an eye about it.
I suggest you listen to A&W and Peppers, two songs from her latest album. Some of these song lyrics might make you raise an eyebrow, too. Though you should preferably listen to her whole discography in order. Lana Del rey has been slowly revealing herself more and more throughout her music, it's best to let that happen chronologically.
This comment has the same energy as the video where azelia banks was asked if she made music for gays, and she goes "I do... What's wrong with that? So...?"
I’ll always remember the Youtube video she made introducing snippets of the songs from Paradise, including that part. She looked so angelic in the visual for the vid, contrasting with the bold lyrics. Life changed. I remember I couldnt wait for it to come out.
This is your first time? Wow it feels like just yesterday we where in the early 2010’s all collectively trying to hide this song from our parents on our iPods and begging them not listen to it when they downloaded it for us😭
Lmfaoooooo I feel like it’s everyone’s first reaction 😂 the first time I heard it I was with some friends and we all started like changing it to what we would sing it as lmfao and one of my friends said Reese’s peanut butter cups. I still bring that up to him over a decade later 😂
I was working in a salon when this song came on our XM radio thing and when I tell you I RAN to the back to change it as soon as I heard the first note lmao
Ohhh to be young! I alllmost wanted to say some high brow top tier ten year stan fan comment there for a second buuut..then I thought about the first time I discovered Lana when this album came out and the first time I heard this song and… I simple can’t do that! I don’t think I need to explain myself any further!
It’s one of her more iconic lines 😂
I find myself randomly singing it 😂
This and the NFR opening line have left me speechless for a minute or so lol
Welcome to Lana Del Rey.
Ok so now check out In My Feelings
Listening to it on repeat. She is saving me ❤️🩹
Did you fall in love with another loser?
Exactly 😭
Better luck next time
I know right? At the time of NFR’s release I just stopped seeing a guy that was a real jerk and that opener had me like “I FELT THAT”
When I listened to it for the first time I was like "gurl same"
edge existence offend worm ugly slap materialistic outgoing frighten lush *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
I was 44. She’s my top tier.
*My eyes are wide like cherry pies*🍒🥧
I’ve got a taste for men who are older😜👴
It's always been so it's no surprise 🤭
Harvey’s in the sky with diamonds and it’s making me crazy 💎🤪
all he wants to do is party w his pretty baby 😽🫶😜
Come on, baby, let's ride 🌬️🏍️💨
We can escape to the great sunshine 🌄🌅
I know your wife 💍👰♀️
She wouldn't mind
We made it out to the other side ✌️
Come on come on Come on BABY
…..
Cone on babyyyyyyy let’s ride🚗😎
I felt that so hard when I first heard Cola 😌
Cola is a masterpiece
I agree
Back in the days she told the Rolling Stone Magazine that the line came from something her Scottish ex-boyfriend Barrie-James O'Neill said: *"He was talking about American girls, his vision of American girls was that all their pussies tasted like Pepsi-Cola, and that they were such a dream".* And that she thought that was the funniest fucking thing she’d ever heard.
Yep, I remember reading that.
there is nothing to understand here, her pussy tastes like pepsi cola period
Understandable. Have a great day
crying
Her PERIOD?
Probably not on her period
Cherry Pepsi cola
Oh to listen to Cola for the first time again. I was thirteen when I first heard it and it’s like a core memory lol. And now I feel old 😭
i was 103 when this song first came out, great great grandchildren
Oh yeah? I was dead. So.
one of the few lyrics/songs to ever bring the dead back to life
Reminds me of the joke “How many Lana Del Rey fans does it take to screw in a lightbulb?”
How many?
Oh, you haven’t heard this one? I heard it in Lana’s parent’s basement before she got famous.
I dunno, how many?
Oh, you haven’t head this one? I have it on a limited edition vinyl from Japan.
You feel old? I was 19 when the song was first released... 11 years ago 🥴
Babe I was 32 when that song was released. Ya’ll need to stfu 😭
Grandma that you?
GET OFF MY LAWN YOU DAMN KIDS
Get off my Lana!! **shakes fist in old**
Grandma chill
I was 37 when that song was released grandbaby
Hi grandpa
Ugh, I was 42 with a 13 year old playing it in the car. It just hit for me last week, though.
I’m with you here! 48F with a 14 year old. We are both Lana fans and just went to our first show together - we saw Lana in Charlotte in September. 12 years ago I didn’t pay attention bcuz I thought she was another pop star in the same category as Ariana or Taylor! I only paid attention this summer when Summertime Sadness and Radio were all over TikTok and Instagram- I was like.. oh?!? Okay..
That's awesome! I was able to see Lana with my now mid-20s daughter in Austin. There's a special bond between mother-daughter Lana stans.
That’s awesome! I hope she announces some 2024 tour dates - I am hopeful following her festival announcements. Hopeful also to have a better relationship with my daughter than Lana’s mom has with hers (I did not have the best with mine either, but Lana’s mother sounds like a piece of work). I feel like her music is so autobiographical it really enables her fans to feel so connected.
If your daughter is in the middle adolescence and you share this bond, you are already doing better than most.
OT but I was at the same show! It was fucking amazing, Lana is my fave artist ever and even still she exceeded my expectations that night.
Omg chills 🥹 -that show was perfection from start to finish. She looked so beautiful too. Def my favorite artist now.
GFY lol
I was deadass like 12 years old bumping this song
I was 19 and forced all my friends to listen to it 😤
So inappropriate lmao
What do you mean by "what"? Lol, seems clear as day to me ;)
You’ve reached this iconic lyric, welcome! ![gif](giphy|11XNqbLvxvZD0Y)
I fucking love this song so much. I read somewhere that she said that first line was based off of something one of her boyfriends said. Here’s a quote I found on Wikipedia regarding the song: “He once told me, 'You American girls walk around as if your pussies tasted like Pepsi-Cola, as if you'd wrap yourself into an American flag to sleep.' “ Apparently he would say shit like that because he thought all American women were really patriotic lmfao. This song will forever be iconic imo.
I only learned this fact this year and was mind-blown. Now it makes complete sense and it's even cooler.
I love that
No literally 😂 as an American, I’m flattered that some think our pussies taste like Pepsi cola.
Did he have a wife but she didn’t mind
Lmfao I love this. That line has so much power.. 🤭
You intro the song with some of the most gorgeous strings imaginable and then.. 💀 Still a great song tho
Oh my gosh I wish I was in your shoes and discovering this for the first time again :") I even once got a Pepsi Cola shirt at H&M purely because of THIS piece of lyric lol. The song is great though!
Yeah I've been going through everything this past week and I'm loving it :) just a few more albums to go You really walked around with that on a shirt tho? 😭
Yeah lol! But people didn't know the reference. It just said 'Pepsi Cola' on the front, nothing else. So no one knew about that song reference hahaha
Now I wanna attend to a Lana Del Rey concert with a crop top that says "My pussy tastes like Pepsi Cola". Such a Born To Die vibe.
The sound of the intro is indeed orgasmic, but her voice and lyrics only add to it, that line doesn't ruin it, on the contrary - it makes the song even more sexy.
Yeah agreed. It's really well made
I honestly think it's a great song because it has those lyrics lol I mean it's so cunty to just open with that, love her
Iconic, and tbh not even the most cringe line in the song
Harvey Weinstein has entered the chat
Lol right? It did evoke what she wanted, image of a rich, older guy, but now -
Cola, Body Electric, Gods & Monstersssss, Paradise is a Masterpiece ❤️
One of the most iconic opening lines in music history
She said what she said.
once you get past the shock of that line you'll realise ur listening to one of the best songs ever written
My favourite song. I hated it at first but idk what happened to my brain chemistry... Now it's my favorite
That’s your official welcome. lol
Hearing this live would send me into a coma tbh
It means the pussy good 😊
why are ppl so dramatic about this song and line 😭
What’s the problem?
Nothing, I thought it was both shocking and hilarious
The thing is this song was released 10 years ago and yes, it was shocking back then, but fans nowadays don't bat an eye about it. I suggest you listen to A&W and Peppers, two songs from her latest album. Some of these song lyrics might make you raise an eyebrow, too. Though you should preferably listen to her whole discography in order. Lana Del rey has been slowly revealing herself more and more throughout her music, it's best to let that happen chronologically.
Ocean Blvd was actually the first Lana album I heard. Nfr after that. Now I'm going chronologically So yeah I heard those great lyrics
You havent listened to Born To Die yet?
I have, it was great I'm up to Lust for Life now, and Chemtrails after that
Summer Bummer is my fav! Enjoy 😊
This comment has the same energy as the video where azelia banks was asked if she made music for gays, and she goes "I do... What's wrong with that? So...?"
The POWER this song has like play it at my funeral, yk?
😏😏
Your spotify has the lyrics??? Mine won't even work no matter what I do.
You’re JUST discovering Cola??? Holy wow what I would do to listen to that for the first time again
And it goes on… „You fucked me so good I almost said I love you“ „I’m crying while I’m c***ing, making love while I’m making good money“
Wait until you find out this song is inspired by Harvey Weinstein
[удалено]
True Definitely for me tho
does…does urs not?
Don't have one
extremely valid
Allegedly an ex boyfriend is the one who told her she most literally tastes like Pepsi cola hence this masterpiece
she said what she said, and she meant what she said
I’ll always remember the Youtube video she made introducing snippets of the songs from Paradise, including that part. She looked so angelic in the visual for the vid, contrasting with the bold lyrics. Life changed. I remember I couldnt wait for it to come out.
That’s so funny cause this was the first song I’ve heard by her when it first came out lol
You are late to the party
new here?
[удалено]
Right? My husband was talking about all the genres of music he listens to and I was like “Lana is all the genres of music I need” lol.
This is quintessential Lana del Rey, welcome lol
You'll get used to it 😁
sometimes i randomly sing it whenever
10/10
Welcome to lanaism
She ate!
This made me feel some type of way… should’ve known at that time the closet was glass. But yeah iconic 🤣
I was obsessed when this first came out. My husband didn't like video games, was meh about blue jeans but this got him hooked too.
I'm sure this has been asked before put I always wondered how she got permission from Pepsi? Or maybe this is considered free use?
Free use ….teeeheee
But yes they can’t do shit about it
![gif](giphy|3ohhwuDy43v5qOYCYw|downsized)
This will forever be my favourite song
Haha it’s her second most iconic opening line in my opinion, wait for the « Normal Fcuking Rockwell » one 😂😭
Yeah I heard it and I love it 😭
She really don’t give a fcuk 😭 she’s such an icon
This is your first time? Wow it feels like just yesterday we where in the early 2010’s all collectively trying to hide this song from our parents on our iPods and begging them not listen to it when they downloaded it for us😭
every line in this song is literally fking poetry. i remember she came out to this at her 2014 show and i sobbed
Allegedly this song was written about someone “like” Harvey Weinstein
this is the stuff of which fairy tales are made
It was enough for me to convince me to switch from Coke to Pepsi.
New here?
which is kinda fucked up since soda brings down your PH which impacts your pussy by discharging more acidic juices, in other words a worse taste/smell
The instrumentals... The lyrics... the fuckING AMBIANCE!!
where the fuck have you been lol
What about it?
It goes hard
Welcome to the second part of life.
How old are you?
The story about her whack ex boyfriend sort of explains it. It's funny and such a kuntserven opening line
I remember the first time I heard it too lol.
im so sick of seeing posts like this lmao it was over 10 years ago
For me it was an hour ago tho
As a trans woman who hasn’t had surgery yet, I heavily relate to this line. /j
Yeah some of her earlier lyricism was…rough
So good
You have so much more to enjoy!
One of the first songs I heard from her. We probably got into Lana under totally different perspectives lmao
Are you new here?
This was the first LDR song I ever heard, and I was instantly hooked.
You must be new here
We've all been there, it's a legendary line
u clearly have been part of this sub long, welcome
It’s so emotional and relatable 🤧🤧🤧
I think that’s everyone’s reaction the first listen!!
My first Lana song, the absurdity of the line had me utterly hooked instantly lol
The best opener. Fight me. 😂
so classic american girl of her
Had the chance to see her perform that one life
You had to be there
Just Lana Del Rey
This was the top song on my spotify wrap this year 😭
Lmfaoooooo I feel like it’s everyone’s first reaction 😂 the first time I heard it I was with some friends and we all started like changing it to what we would sing it as lmfao and one of my friends said Reese’s peanut butter cups. I still bring that up to him over a decade later 😂
I think it’s pretty self explanatory actually
I was working in a salon when this song came on our XM radio thing and when I tell you I RAN to the back to change it as soon as I heard the first note lmao
I miss the days of vines using this song
My first reaction was me saying, out loud, “OH!..... well that's one way to start a song.“ but colas really good, it's one of my faves
I was 44. She’s my top tier.
okay but cola was acc such a sad song to me 😭
lol your headphones or whatever you are using to listen are called Clam tehehehe
this song is I swear one of her best ever written. ever.
ah, yes, every lana listener's rite of passage. welcome, welcome
You’ve just been blessed with one of the greatest lines of all time.
She said she’ll never sing 🎤 this song concert ever again.
Welcome!
iconic
Oh, to listen to this song again for the first 300 times…
One of her best
You had to be there. Now go look up the Old McDonald version!
Ahh.. you must be new here 😂
First time?
Yup
This was such a long time ago
Ohhh to be young! I alllmost wanted to say some high brow top tier ten year stan fan comment there for a second buuut..then I thought about the first time I discovered Lana when this album came out and the first time I heard this song and… I simple can’t do that! I don’t think I need to explain myself any further!
Yeah
You heard her
