What's The Story?
Lady... Gaga? Goodness, I had no idea! For you see, I have been on Mars for the last decade, in a cave, with my eyes shut and my fingers in my ears.
This tune comes as a bonus track on The Fame.
Who's To Blame?
They're known for their bagels and their cramped space.
Why ♥ It?
From start to finish, this song captures some of the most admirable parts of the 70s, except that it's on one of the best-sellers of the 00s.
The bass guitar shines aggressively throughout this track: it moves fast, and it hits hard. The vocals are Lady Gaga's standard smooth mindvirus pop-style. In the verses especially, they're brainwashing, with lots of vibrato in the voice and choral/overlaid backup vocals making it sail by almost too fast to appreciate.
The bad news: the chorus to this song won't be staying in your head for weeks on end like, say, Bad Romance.
The good news: The song stands on its own outside of just a catchy main line. It's perfect for playing for friends only to tell them afterwards that they just really enjoyed a Lady Gaga song, or (if you prefer) got Gagarolled.
The really good news: Gagarolling isn't actually a thing.
