Telephone is a weak song, thematically. Like, just turn off your fucking phone then.


I was talking about the clip...  at this point the music is merely accessory.

And I'm talking about the song.
Women want me. Men want to be with me.

Here's the newest Gaga video - featuring Beyoncé.  Prepare yourselves for multiple pop culture references!  ^_^

That video was off the hook! :punk:
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Glad you enjoyed it.  The more I watch it the more fantastic I find it.  Gaga and Tarentino have more than a few things in common it seems.  They say that when she discussed this project with him he told her she 'had to' use the pussy wagon from Kill Bill - so she woved it into the clip - and brilliantly.  There are so many winks and nods to so many things (check out the references to Dune, Doom and Star Wars here: http://www.buzzfeed.com/mjs538/10-hidden-surprises-in-lady-gagas-telephone-vid ).

No love for the pun?

You don't collect love for punning. Letting loose with a good pun is akin to farting: very satisfying to the person doing it, and annoying to everyone else.  :D

Whoa, that Alejandro song was pretty good.
I didn't expect to actually like it, being about Jaron and such.

I already downloaded Telephone while on leave in Miami. I heard it in a club and it was tha shite.

I don't want to hear about your adventures in gay clubs. Don't ask, don't tell...right?

I'm checking mi Itunes, the "Recently added" playlist, and I got Lady Gaga's Telephone, Keshas' Tik Tok (Biggest hit in Miami evah!), and some dude called Jason Derulo. Pretty dam good too.

I also got Aqua's "Roses Are Red".

You just want me to make you my slave, to make you do my dirty laundry, clean my weapon, make my bed, soap my back, etc.
