Lana Del Rey’s cover of Sublime's "Doin' Time" is better than the original
- Thread starter bye
- Start date
JFC it's a good cover and people can't just let it be without either shitting on her or the original? I could work all day in the sun and not be as salty as some of the folks around here.

Popera doesn't even exist. Just say "gay people" and you'll be more honest.

Normally I would agree, but this particular song lends itself to the kind of sound that Lana completely missed. Like... I don't believe her.
The first quote was all you, dude. No one prompted you to call PopERA fucking weird, that was your choice.
The second quote was you agreeing with someone else who called the community the worst, so again, no one from """PopERA""" prompted you with that.
The third was, again, really in response to no one, just you reiterating PopERA is the worst because people posted "she won" and made tongue-in-cheek comments about Lana's support of Palestine. I swear, it's like the people in this thread have no fucking idea what it is to be a bit cheeky.
The fourth is you trying to claim "OH SO NOW I'M HOMOPHOBIC????" when a member said: "That's literally my opinion. I was asking why people are constantly generalizing a group of people whom align themselves with pop music and the LGBTQ community." You know what that reads to me as? You being a dick to someone who raised a point about the continual bullshit thrown about when pop terminology is used in a non-confrontational manner.
So, yeah, I repeat: all you had to do was not post, and you chose to make a big fucking deal about defending Sublime.

How dare you. Doin time was always listenable and also Sublimes's best song. Great dub music, fuckin awesome summer song.
Me neither, man. Great band.
Me neither, man. Great band.
Lmao at you gettin warned for an opinion. Pop sucks. There I said it. Ban me I dare y'all.
This song didn't do anything for me personally. I guess the original was just too powerful of an influence on me when I was younger; that this version just sounded plain dull. I guess some of the band members probably liked this version though if they are happy with it being in the Documentary. I hope that Doc is good, that band had a crazy life.
Nah, don't conflate a dislike of pop music with coming into a thread with the explicit intent to shit on the people who enjoy it and make fun of the way they write things.
You can dislike pop, you just can't be an ass about it and demean those that do.
PopEra is not a genre, it's a (dead) community in this site.
What an insult to gay people to make their existence synonymous with crappy pop music.
I mean, it's working for straight people and open world games with white protagonists

real music fans rushing to find their sublime CDs after this thread
I once had to take a 9 hour road trip with an acquaintance and the only CD he listened to the entire time was the Sublime album.
The. Entire. Time.
I am done with Sublime.

I'm not a fan of it, and neither are AM, Alex Turner said in an interview with Zane Lowe that they stopped playing this song live because of this cover.
who can forget George Girshwin's sage lyrics like "qualified to represent the LBC"
I apparently came off as the worst of them, and I didn't do anything but defend the song in the OP.
This is a great song, forgot it came from this. However, to be fair, there's about 9 or 10 notes of the same melody, and the rest couldn't be more different; the overall melody Bradly creates is largely his own.
