#32 Lana Del Rey - "Brooklyn Baby"

LDR is back again this year with her second album Ultraviolence and she gets 3 songs in the Top 500 of 2014. This is the only one to make the Top 100 coming in at #32. 

To me, the song is kind of mocking the hipster movement so to speak in Brooklyn as she talks about her extra cool record collection and her affinity for beat poetry. The bridge is especially entertaining as she proclaims "i don't have to fucking explain it" then announcing she gets "high on hydroponic weed".  She also finally admits to being cooler than her way cool boyfriend. I assume its all tongue in cheek but you never know with Lana.

Gorilla vs. Bear (gorillavsbear.net) gave her #20 of the year, Rolling Stone said this song was #22 and she slips a bit below that in my list.
