Guns N’ Roses’ Paradise City has been getting a whole lotta puntastic rewrites on Bluesky. 17 nailed-on smash hits
Over on Bluesky, they’ve been going pun mad after this joke format sprang up.
Take me down to the paradox city
where the grass is green and there is no city— ️⚧️ Alexandra Merideth Erin [she/her] (@alexandraerin.com) October 21, 2024 at 11:57 PM
In case you’re not familiar with their back catalogue, that’s a parody of the opening lines of Guns N’Roses’ Paradise City.
“Take me down to the Paradise City
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty.”
Guns N’Roses probably aren’t the Bluesky pun types, but their lyrics certainly made a great jumping-off point for a lot of funny or punny (or both) posts. These 17 deserved a wider audience.

Take me down to the paradise city where grass is green and public transportation is convenient, reliable, accessible, ubiquitous, and well-funded–also has protected bike lanes.
