Lana Del Rey - "Doin Time" (Sublime Cover)

My two favourites, combined. WOW!

This is for a documentary coming soon about Sublime, not her upcoming album but it's amazing.

Lana Del Rey’s affinity for California is so firmly baked into her music that “Doin’ Time,” her cover of Sublime’s 1996 song for the upcoming documentary about the ska-punk band, seems like it could have appeared on her debut. Adapting Bradley Nowell’s expressive rapping into her own blasé drawl, the track glides on roiling trip-hop percussion similar to the bossa nova version of Gershwin’s “Summertime” sampled in Sublime’s original. But “Doin’ Time” remains decidedly within Del Rey’s wheelhouse, repping Sublime’s hometown of Long Beach with a newly dreamy slant.

Maybe the best song this year?

A goddess! We are not worthy!

Didn't know that it was a cover

Yeah Sublime are sort of ska/punk band from California. Their lead singer passed away just as they were about to become "huge" back in the 90's from a drug overdose and they've since got this huge cult following and only really had success after Bradley passed away and the band had split, crazy.

Very good band though.
