The songwriting credits for Lana Del Rey's cover of Doin' Time amuse me for some reason.

Posted by Tim (aka othertim) Aug 18 '19, 18:27

Adam Horovitz, Adam Yauch, Bradley Nowell, Dorothy Heyward, DuBose Heyward, Maggie Plum, George Gershwin, Ira Gershwin, Marshall Goodman, Rick Rubin

The two Beastie Boys are not credited on the original Sublime version, but are here (same with Rubin, who was the Beastie Boys' producer early on) Goodman is namechecked in the song as Ras MG. I don't know who Plum is, but they're also credited on the original. And then a few playwrights.

Responses:

I put this one up on The Twenty early on this summer. It's a fantastic cover and I love how she didn't change the gender. -- nm - Qale Aug 19, 04:45
The main sample is from a Gershwin tune (Summertime) is why they are credited. -- (edited) - spamlet Aug 18, 18:44 1
- I knew about the lyric sample, but not that they made them change it after Nowell had died. - Tim Aug 18, 18:50
