Is This Why She Has Summertime Sadness?
The Recording Industry Association of America (we also know them as the RIAA – or those people who got mad at us in the early 2000s for downloading music) says Lana Del Rey sold an astonishing 32 million singles and five and a half million albums across her eight album career. Hence, she’s kind of a big deal.
With that kind of popularity, it’s no surprise someone heard something wrong, and this time, that someone is u/BrilliantPark_9019, who confused the line “Telephone wires are sizzlin’ like a snare” with “I’m sizzling like a snail” in her single “Summertime Sadness.” We’re glad no hypothetical snails were harmed in making her hit.
