this district smells like rat piss, my name is katniss.

So everyone knows Lana Del Rey is blowing up.  Months ago I think every single blogger that I follow had flooded my reader with her Video Games video.  I listened to the song, I thought it was okay.  I could see why people liked it because it was retro-y, the homemade-ness of the video was fun, & it was different, but I listened to some of her other songs and didn't like them that much at all.  But I shared the VG video with John and he liked it alright too, then we made the mistake of watching her Saturday Night Live performance and haven't been able to take her seriously since.  Frequently I will sing like her when John starts to play Skyrim "go play your videoooo gaaaaaame."  You get it.  Yeahyeahyeah.  Basically what I'm saying, we are pretty indifferent towards this internet sensation and I still don't really get Miss LDR but who am I to judge... I bought Ashlee Simpson's first CD the day it came out back in '04, so you see where I'm coming from.

Anywho -- made the point of LDR & Video Games... not a fan.  (someone online said "she sounds like a person making fun of someone trying to sing seriously" and I kinda agree)  BUT!  Then this gem came along and I love it!  I love it so hard.

Because boys & girls, in our house we do LOVE The Hunger Games and are impatiently waiting for the movie next month.  Holly Laurent, you are so fun & lovely & thanks for making a parody of this song for The Hunger Games!
