"Get Drunk" is an unreleased song by Lana Del Rey that is included on her unreleased EP, No Kung Fu. An acoustic demo of the song, recorded in 2007, leaked on February 11, 2012, along with six other No Kung Fu songs.
Background[]
Although not confirmed, it is possible that the song has a final studio version produced by David Kahne. Every other known No Kung Fu song is confirmed to have been eventually reworked by him for inclusion on Lana Del Ray.
The song was recorded on February 28, 2007, at Studio 365, where Del Rey also recorded various takes of "Let My Hair Down", "Oh Say Can You See", "For K, Pt. 2", "Disco", and "Raise Me Up (Mississippi South)". These are known as the Studio 365 Sessions. There were 3 takes of "Get Drunk". Another take of the song was done on August 14, 2007.
The original file of the acoustic demo leaked on July 2, 2017, and one of the ID3 tags is labeled as "2007-08-14 Bounce 2". This insinuates that this version of the song was recorded on August 14, 2007.
