LANA DEL REY IS JACKIE KENNEDY & MARILYN IN NEW VIDEO...

Lana Del Rey is sure to stir up some attention with her new video for the fourth single from her excellent Born to Die album, National Anthem. The sultry singer takes the roles of both Jacqueline Kennedy and Marily Monroe, singing Happy Birthday, Mr. President pretty damn well, while JFK is portrayed by A$AP Rocky (I have no idea). Shot in a very retro-60's way, the video features some rose smelling, a lot of knee fondling, some very cute kids and a reenactment of a very famous assassination. I love the song, and it's fireworks and summer theme make it the perfect 4th of July-time single. The video is pretty brilliant as well. It's controversial, but also artistic and beautiful. What do you think?
