With larger-than-life hair and a craving for older men, Lana Del Rey haunts pop with her sweet, yet dark voice and themes of a modern and vintage America. She haunts it in a good way, of course.
Along with her themes that embody the 20-something generation, Rey (her actual name is Lizzy Grant) got her name from a mixture of the Hollywood actress of the past Lana Turner and the vintage Ford Del Rey car, according to IMDb.com. It’s quite fitting for the retro, glamour goddess.

Here are 10 of her best lyrics, ranging from drug use to Pepsi Cola. We warn you: some of these lyrics can get pretty dirty.
