Lana Del Rey - Video Games (Lyrics)
Swingin' in the backyard, pull up in your fast car
Whistlin' my name
Open up a beer and you say, "Get over here"
And play a video game
I'm in his favorite sundress, watching me get undressed
Take that body downtown
I say, "You da bestest," lean in for a big kiss
Put his favorite perfume on
"Go play your video game"
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 wanna do
I heard that you like the bad girls, honey
Is that true?
It's better than I ever even knew
They say that the world was built for two
Only worth living if somebody is loving you
And baby, now, you do
Hmmm
Singin' in the old bars, swinging with the old stars
Livin' for the fame
Kissin' in the blue dark, playing pool and wild darts
Video games
He holds me in his big arms, drunk, and I am seeing stars
This is all I think of
Watchin' all our friends fall in and out of Old Paul's
This is my idea of fun
Playing video games
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 wanna do
I heard that you like the bad girls, honey
Is that true?
It's better than I ever even knew
They say that the world was built for two
Only worth living if somebody is loving you
And baby, now, you do
(N-now, you do, now, you do, now, you do)
(N-now, you do, now, you do, now, you do)
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 wanna do
I heard that you like the bad girls, honey
Is that true?
It's better than I ever even knew
They say that the world was built for two
Only worth living if somebody is loving you
And baby, now, you do

LANA NEEDS TO COME BACK FOR A REDEMPTION PERFORMANCE
She has improved a lot, of course she’s still nervous but she’s gotten so much better live giver her her credits !
Saika Tags I was in that concert and she SLAYED that festival.
Yaaas
At least she owns it and doesn't let it get her down.
SHE NEEDS TO HOST AND PERFORM
She was just warming up to write the next best american records.
Joaquim Filho hahaha ❤️
*world*
Love that
omg i love this
Nope.
"Ladies-LADIes and gentlemen, Lona Dal Rai"
😂😂😂😂❤️
🤭🤭😆🤭 good
🤣🤣🤣
I screamed 🤣🤣🤣
british just try to raise their accent...
Im a trained singer and I can tell that she’s just nervous. She’s much more confident with her live vocals now and I would LOVE to see her come back and blow everyone away!
She can blow me - anytime
A singer without confidence can't perform well
Ava Moonstar shes got a lot more confidence now
I feel her on this because when i get nervous to sing for like audition I get hella nervous
Daveyboy _ grow up sir
Always love that dress. Makes her look like an angel
i would love it if wasn’t for the bad clout associated with the performance she did in it
@@mhonshanovung She drove me crazy!
Don't call her angel, you ain't got her right
she is an angel
That’s bc she is an angel
Honestly it’s not even that bad as everyone seemed to make it
Taylor this one isn’t the one people say is terrible, however it’s still not great. The one people say is really bad is blue jeans live (also at SNL).
@@sebdcord ... Says the tard with no music experience or career
She's just holding her mic wrong and that makes the audio not as good. She's singing over the mic and not into it.
@@bloopdaddy don't take it so personally, you're not the only one who got it
@@astronautadejakku9699 yeah
It’s 2024 and I will defend this performance to death 😭😭❤️
I got yer back. I'm going to be right there with you. 👍
she's enchanting✨
"Ladi-ladies and gentlemen, Lanar Dall Raye"
I love Daniel so much lol
i wish so badly i had 2 kids with him
for speaking? lol
The more you know Lana’s music, the more this performance makes sense & you get it.
exactly
Facts
I still don't understand why everyone hated this? I was fascinated from the first time I heard this clip. What's wrong with it?
Yeah it sucks like the rest of her career, I agree
i know lana's music i still do not get "it"
Lana is ART, the art sometimes is imperfect.
🙌✨
So accurate! Thank you!
Girl..
That's a good excuse lol
ure hallucinating if you think there's a perfect art. lol
she’s has the worst stage fright. she’s nervous and gorgeous while doing it. SHE NEEDS TO COME BACK AND SHOW THE HATERS SHES A QUEEN
Its honestly good looking back on it😭
@@dhehbdh473 Fr 🥰
I love Lana but some of you mega fans are delulu
Queen?? Queen?? Queen of what?? Social media?? 😂 I swear she could take a poop on stage & yall would all clamor to get a wiff of her “art,” 😂
2012 media: Brooklyn hipster fails during SNL performance
2019 media: this is deep art
ok boomer
Fact
des who is Ewwaroach?
Because music gradually evolved shittier and shittier year after year. A person from 2012 sounds better than someone from 2020.
lmao i miss 2012
Still better than Fergie singing the national anthem...
true
Yea but thats setting the bar all the way down! Lol
Lol😂
Both are still a million times better than your guys's musical careers. 😁
or any Selena Gomez performance
Oh shit that was Harry Potter
ʇɹɐǝɥ ɐɹʇɔǝןǝ oh shit its jane
Cookie Monster
oh shit it's kInKy toast
ʇɹɐǝɥ ɐɹʇɔǝןǝ is this a cross over episode?!? 🤭
i love your profile
Cookie Monster
wtf it's Cookie Monster now
It's so strange: when I first heard this performance, before I was familiar with her music, I too thought it was awful and embarrassing. But now, years later, when I listen to it again, being much more familiar with her ethereal, almost otherworldly deep voice that is certainly not traditional but definitely beautiful- I actually don't think this is bad at all. She was just nervous. Now that I am more familiar with how beautiful and strange and smooth her vocals can be, I hear it more, now. She is truly a gifted songwriter and singer.
Nah she’s just a billionaires daughter
She’s truly a phenomenal singer and songwriter!!
@@cryo3215 nailed it.
But there’s also a thing like auto tune
@@cryo3215 delete it
the fact that this is still up is low key gansta
she like her performance
@@lrafael888as she should
GOT ME SPINNIN LIKE A BALLERINAAAA
FEELIN GANGSTA EVERY TIME I SEEE YAAAA
No matter how bad anyone thinks this performance was, THIS VERY PERFORMANCE was what introduced me to Lana and I am grateful that she performed that night
This comment is so beautiful
I'm so proud of Lana because she is bringing these "terrible" performances back to the public. During the Born To Die era, which was her "breakthrough" album, it is nerve racking to put your self up there in front of an audience. I speak from experience. I am a dancer. I understand her emotions and choices during "Blue Jeans" and this performance of "Video Games".
Barry Barry ok boomer
I'm just getting into Lana and was shocked to see that this is actually hosted by her own page-I mean it in a good way. Most performers try to bury this kind of stuff. The meta of your body of work is important and interesting when artists, like Prince for example, take control of it.
Agreed. Except it’s spelled “nerve-wracking.”
trust me i'm a whore, it's blessing to listen lana
I know in previous interviews Lana's done she says she naturally sings in a higher pitch and has been told to 'tone it down' by producers to make her songs more accessible. She may have been nervous here, but I feel the notes sounded off in some places as she was trying to sing in a lower pitch. The higher notes she hits in this performance are beautiful, and show her talent!!
She's a great American poet. I've only recently worked my through all her albums on Spotify, the sheer number of hauntingly vivid songs is phenomenal. She's in a league of her own.
I love this comment ❤ I agree completely
I am in this now-and obsessed with everything I’ve heard!!
I just started getting interested in her, would you mind listing some of your favorites?
I like songs that give you that 'punch to the gut' type of feeling or like the knot in the back of your throat... lol.
I guess a better way to describe my taste is VERY sad, depressing and like you said haunting songs. Songs about depression, addiction, abuse, toxicity, etc. and from what I've read about her work, that's like her niche.
So far, my favorite song from her has been the one where she sings something like,
"He hit me but it felt like a kiss. He hurt me but it felt like true love, he taught me that loving him was never enough???" I also enjoyed one where she's "a sweet serial killer drinking cherry coke," but mainly because it was so unexpected and honestly a total bop!
She is a great songwriter. She makes great videos. So feminine. Wears great clothes. I love this woman.
I think calling her a poet is a bit insulting to actual American poets. She's a songwriter who writes about the same topics over and over, and does it well, but it's not groundbreaking. Margaret Atwood, Maya Angelou, Edith Wharton, Langston Hughes, T.S. Elliot, those are poets ...
Better than the Blue Jeans performance
I was about to say that.
It is because there are less people singing in this one. Although still quite a few.
Yes. I can’t watch that one
She used too many voices in the Blue Jeans performance
Theo L.J. Made me lol
Is this the performance that was supposedly terrible? I think it sounds perfectly fine? I also miss all her amazing looks from born to die
No, the "terrible" one is Blue Jeans (also on SNL). I do think the mic sounds a bit weird here tho.
Yeah this one wasn't bad at all , the blue jeans performance sucked tbh
smooth like a like a snakeu she did two songs that day on SNL. This one was good. The second one was Blue Jeans and that is the one that got hated on. She explained she was nervous... but she got sooooo much hate that she didn’t do another performance on American TV.
Creo que fue el de blue Jeans
No that was Blue Jeans😂
That’s how you know someone’s worthy of a loyal fan base: when they lack polished technique and media training but still make it. You could tell she wasn’t industry trained like most stars. The people made her famous, not the label. There’s too many industry plants who lack conviction to their stage persona and never make it past their first era or single. She was a singer-songwriter who brought something beautiful that people could appreciate regardless of how it came out live.
i’m really confused why people call this the worse SNL performance??
not this one, blue jeans lol
Me too
yeah, kesha exists
@@iamtheforeverboy8580 don’t @ Kesha pls
Wasnt that notorious ashlee Simpson performance at snl???
Plot twist: she put this back up because she’s performing on SNL again
JesserDuran Salazar just like what i thought😂
Plot twist: SNL put this back up because she's performing on SNL again
Really?!!!!! When??!!
Ya....when?
When????
Ironically, Lana was ahead of her time. Many peopls criticized this perfomance, but now they would see by a new perspective. Lana is a conceptual artist.
Yes, she both conceptually and literally has no talent. 😂
i love her but this performance was a lot of 📈📉📈📉📈📉📈📉
it was her first live performance, she was very nervous and isn't a trained singer
@@angelia8132 then why is she making millions as a singer? There are so many more qualified people who deserves this platform
@@sydneyduncheon7992 this wasn't when she was making millions yet. she's obviously gotten better over the years. its not just her voice that has to do with why she has fans either, it ranges from lyrics, genre, and even aesthetics.
She’s a person. I understand completely. No matter how much you make all of us get nervous sometimes. You can clearly tell she was running out of air. Not breathing in a relaxed manner.
@@sydneyduncheon7992 because people like her music and how to integrates her perspective of Americana culture into her music in quite interesting ways. That mixing with her dramatic vocals makes a very unique artist
I’m so confused. I was waiting for the bad part but there never was one. I love her so much 😢
HAHAHAHA, I HAD TO LAUGH SO HARD HAHAHAH, THIS IS SO BAD HAHAHA
@@DJDanceClassicyou just don’t get it, u probably listen to autotune shit and commercial music like “flowers” by miley, so u can’t really understand the poetry of this performance
@@yourfavlanagirlie I have the same thought
@@DJDanceClassic you're just stupid
When marylin Monroe was alive they were incredibly cruel to her, they wouldn’t give it to her in any shape or form and destroy her for mistakes we all make. I see the same situation here with Lana ppl are being unnecessary cruel to her. She’s human she can’t be perfect.
to be honest, this wasn't even so bad. she was simply nervous, if you watch any of her live performances from now she sounds amazing.
Bro don't even speak about Monroe in the same lifetime as this chick. Fuck wrong with you?
reminds me of amy winehouse too. people holding her flaws up to a microscope, cant see the beauty and humanity in her imperfections
You are gorgeous you should start doing TH-cam or sum
🌸❤️💐💐💐💐
I JUST SAW THEY PUT THIS BACK UP YES YES LANA HAS SNAPPED SHE IS NOT SCARED
Possiblyisaac I love her 😭
My fav song of hers i dont care how she does it shes 👑
Me @ McDonalds at 3am:
Employee: You want fries?
Me: 3:33
this is the truest statement on youtube
💀🥀🤣
Hearing this for the first time in 2024... it's really not that bad.
this isn't bad, sue me
It's not, indeed
Yeah it is. Stream die lit
It’s actually not bad at all. They can sue me too lol
@@realitycheck2051 Are you guys serious... ?? From a musical standpoint, it's hot garbage. Inconsistent tone, pitchy, weird and sporadic enunciation, pronunciation changes phrase-to-phrase as if she's unsure of what works... the list goes on. There are a few moments where she genuinely sings well, but those are a few phrases among a sea of aforementioned hot garbage.
Nowadays she has GREAT live performances. Everyone has off days, and this was so off it almost comes back around to on, in the form of some sort of intentionally garbage, esoteric, artistic statement on the state of the music industry, man.
Taylor M
Her tones are always inconsistent and weird, that’s why her fans...me and others...love her. She’s no normal singer, I like it and didn’t think it was that bad. Also that song is hard to sing, it’s obviously not going to sound like the studio version.
When I’m singing and someone tickles me 4:07
Omg the most underrated comment on here 😂
I remember everyone saying this was the worst performance ever, and now that I’m rewatching I see this is just her style and it was unusual so people were quick to judge. Love her so much!
Weren’t they referring to her second song, Blue Jeans?
This is her style , people just dont get her music yet , she is ahead of her time
Not really, this is objectively a bad performance and it’s fine it was her first live performance, she was nervous and wasn’t good at controlling her incredible vocals and but she improved eventually, and you can notice that in other live performances that came after this! And ahead of her time by doing a bad performance? Mmmm I don’t think so
In an age where trash EDM and cheap club music were topping the charts, Lana created her own genre and people weren’t ready for it - a genre and art form adopted by many mainstream artists today, like Billie Eilish and Olivia Rodrigo.
She is deserving of so much more success; her not winning any Grammys has been the crime of the century.
Con artists are gifted at being able to create things they think people will buy. Lana Del Rey is either a charlatan who has convinced fans to buy into her schtick, or a delusional woman who has convinced others to believe she's as awesome as she thinks she is.
I have spent years listening to unique singers and musicians-- it's pretty easy to spot the ones that come onto the scene with red flags and crap. I'm sorry to say, but she's one in the group that is absolutely overrated and rings scam alert bells.
She did not “make” anything she’s doing what Fiona apple and Bjork did in the 90s don’t be a loser
I love the part 4:07 she was not bad in that performances idk why the ppl in that time was so mad and rude with her with her performance. Lana should back in SNL and show everybody that she can!!!! ❤️
I love that little vocal trill too :)
anotherlemontree i called it art deco
I mean, if even Daniel Radcliffe messed up the intro, maybe there was something in that water they gave them during their break? 😂
she got her coachella revenge🔥
The iconic turn 1:47
0:03 radcliff prints his own nervousness in the atmosphere plus mispronouncing her name at only 1 second to go.
I saw her live during her 2014 tour and she was AMAZING, I figured here she was just nervous. She found her voice and confidence. She did say in her monologue “I was a singer, not a very popular one” she’s a poet at heart ❤️
Daniel flopped with that opening more than Lana did with her performance.
she started this one muuuuch better than blue jeans. her notes and vocal control was so much better. blue jeans was very weird at the beginning but then she kinda got it. anyone know which one she performed first?
Minimalist Vlogger based on the intros of each video, Video Games was first and Blue Jeans second
thats great to hear i mean its kinda funny but also sad everyone made fun of these performances and disliked it
Minimalist Vlogger I mean born to die went on to sale 8 million copies worldwide so who got the last laugh haha
Ladies and Gentlmen….Coachella headliner, SKIMS model, and Grammy winner (soon to be) LANA DEL REY
Nvm :(
Ashley Simpson is still the worst performance on SNL.
This is amazing and authentic.
i’m mesmerized by the fact that she’s always feeling her songs: both melodies and lyrics
The moment 04:07 makes me cry. The way Lana sings "loving you" in the high register. Man, this performance was not bad to me at all. There are spots of beauty. I simply forget her turn-aroundings and listen to her music and singing. She is freaking and heavenly beautiful in this white dress.
she ate em up in coachella
Revisiting this performance since it was uploaded and it really isn’t bad at all. I don’t think anyone doubted her talent hence why Born To Die went on to become one of the longest charting female albums of all time and she’s still an acclaimed artist.
I love how she put a twist on this performance from the studio version and the way she can change her voices pitch and sound is so beautiful she really is such a great alternative artist
1:47 iconic
Got me spinning like a ballerina
Just realised I replied to a comment u left one year ago k bye welcome back
I can't believe being talented like Lana Del Rey and being ignored by everyone, how can people ignore her like this, and not appreciate her talent.
HAS ANYONE ELSE DIED FOR YOU?
revenge of LDR - Coachella 2024
Still loving you, Lana.
When I saw this performance about 7 years ago, I instantly became a Lana fan. She’s different, unique.
This wasn’t the best performance because she was a bit nervous, but it made me fall in love with her so it couldn’t be that bad then❤️
I was 14 years old when I saw this live on SNL, sitting in my kitchen watching the show with my mom late at night. It was my first time ever seeing or hearing Lana, and I just remember immediately thinking, "woah, who is this?" The chimes at the beginning of the song instantly grabbed me - it was like I was transported into Alice and Wonderland's world. Love you Lana - this performance was beautiful, and just the beginning of my forever-fandom to you!
I DON'T CARE WHAT PEOPLE SAY, THIS IS MY OPINION AND SHE IS THE BEST.
Normally, when the musical act comes on, I start reading a book or magazine. But Lana just yanked my attention to the screen -- I couldn't take my eyes and ears off her. I knew she was special -- I hadn't felt that way since Tori Amos.
i thought i was the only lana fan who was also a tori fan. i love that for us.
My God, if you don't mind me saying this, you are incredible.
@@goblinhairedguy you need to @ her name so she sees your comment. I mean, I see a connection between you two. Maybe she just didn’t see your response
her vocals are clear and strong. I don't understand the problem people had.
“HAS ANYONE ELSE DIED FOR YOU?”
SHE MADE IT GUYSSS , EVERYONE LOVES HER NOW
0:48 HOnEy
If you get a chance, watch the entire episode. Daniel Radcliffe was one of the best hosts I had ever seen. His great hosting job and of course Lana's now famous performance made for a very memorable episode.
Jared Johnson where can i find it please?
@@Liza33650 Hulu has it. Season 37, episode 12.
Coachella 2024 is yours
1:45 a historic moment
sue me but I love the "every little thing that I do" at 1:06
it was actually good but she kept changing her voice or she was probably sick
Nervous
@hoes mad From a Rolling Stone article:
She later remembered how her SNL show marked “the one night in all my time performing that I wasn’t nervous.”
“I remember the intention I had,” she added. “Looking back, there was a more eccentric performative approach to it. I was thinking about Maria Callas, or someone darker coming through.”
How is this bad?, this is pure gold
I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW PEOPLE STILL HATE THIS PERFORMANCE. THIS IS A WORK OF ART
I've heard a lot of stuff about it but it was no where as bad as I thought
@@user-saraswatidevilisten to the Blue Jeans song from the same night
Blue Jeans was bad but this is actually really nice. I like the way she sings in 1:39
Its not even bad . Keep it up Lana ur great. Just a fan from India.
It was in 2012
🌼
Everything is Relevant let’s not kid ourselves this was a terrible performance. I’m a fan of Lana and her voice has improved since then, and yes she was nervous, but this was terrible. She screwed up. Don’t cut slack cause you like her music, just appreciate how much her voice has improved.
I will say that blue jeans is far worse though, as far as her SNL performances are concerned.
@@dingleberry5356 I didn't think anything was wrong with either one. Apparently I don't have your sophisticated critic skills.
She does voices all the time. Is that what you guys don't like? I think they're really fun. Het voices on "off to the races" are great.
This performance is what introduced me to her and have been listening to her music since then so....
2024 and appreciating this beauty!
Who's here because of the GRAMMYS 2024 ?
THE TURN! ICONIC!
i’m confused this isn’t a bad performance at all?
this is absolute horseshit, you deaf moron
Some parts are good, some not
Barry Barry wow you’re a clown lmao
She changes key like 6 times.
Aurélien Georges Are you a performer?
This was my introduction to Lana, and I could tell in the first two notes that she had a beautiful, rich tone to her voice. Also I thought her nervousness was endearing, in a time when everyone wanted to be perceived as cool and in-control, and highly curated. Been a fan of this woman ever since 💜
She fucking killed it. She was on some Kaufman level shit and everyone fell for it. The songs are sophisticated and I can’t think of a single contemporary pop artist as influential as Lana. She is lightning in a bottle.
totally agree.
3:06
I dunnk why but that part was soooooooooo in my mind like wtf, the whole performance was great tbh but that part is stuck in my mind woah...
It’s really not even as bad as everyone makes it out - you can tell she’s nervous because her live performances are so good
Listen to her Blue Jeans performance of the same night. Way more iconic
Watching this in 2023 and you'll appreciate it. This was just too ahead of its time when she did it in SNL.
I actually found out about her through her snl performances, so I love this video & the blue jeans one. Lana was nervous, but still managed to be cvnty 🤭
😂😂😂
Omg is it really on lana's chanel?
Still in Love with this performance
I actually didn't have any problems with this performance.
I always come back to this my absolute favorite preformance of hers
I've finally found my people
And I love this performance.
Ppl really exaggerated when they said that her snl performances were bad, they’re perfectly fine imo, she sounds amazing 🙆🏻♂️👏🏻
I think the embarrassment people felt was their own discomfort at hearing someone unafraid to be exactly themselves. Sharing with the world our weird, wild selves makes people uncomfortable and judgmental.
they didnt understand it then lana, now they do... you're the next best american record
I think this is really good actually
this is a beauutiful performance. why didnt they like it?
violadash her vocals. She has gotten so much better. She was young and probably very nervous. The beginning was rocky but then she did well at the end. I’m glad her voice has grown to become what it is right now.
have you seen the Blue Jeans performance?
the amount of hate she got for this performance was ridiculous she was extremely nervous. she has an amazing voice.
happy 10 years
Her voice is great-- the song is tough as it gets.
let her try again please😭😭
Just bought my first Lana del Rey album. She is fascinating
Did you see her on that SNL throwback episode also? I've never heard her before, now she's all I want to listen to...
She sounds great. A real singer. Not a fake one. Like most these days. No shade, but... emotion DOES exist, if you feel it.
Love you so much Lanita 🖤
