Perform This Way baby



Ladies and gentlemen, the weird guy has done it again. Weird Al Yankovic has created a new HILARIOUS song and video, and this time he's taking the piss out of Lady Gaga.

Thank God someone finally did. It's about time!
Let's be honest, she had it coming. We all had it coming for buying into her BS, especially you 'Monsters'!

I'm happy. I'm totes happy.

Hazzah!


Also, here's the lyrics below. You know, just for laughs. Shits and giggles :P

My mama told me when I was hatched
Act like a superstar
Save your allowance, buy a bubble dress
And someday you will go far
Now on red carpets, well, I'm hard to miss
The press follows everywhere I go
I'll poke your eye out with a dress like this
Back off and enjoy the show!

I'm sure my critics will say it's a grotesque display
Well, they can bite me, baby -- I perform this way
I might be wearin' Swiss cheese or maybe covered with bees
It doesn't mean I'm crazy -- I perform this way

Ooo, my little monsters pay... lots 'cause I perform this way
Baby, I perform this way
Ooo, don't worry, I'm okay... hey, I just perform this way
I'm not crazy, I perform this way

I'll be a troll or evil queen
I'll be a human jelly bean
'Cause every day is Halloween
For me...

I'm so completely original
My new look is all the rage
I'll wrap my small intestines 'round my neck
And set fire to myself on stage
I'll wear a porcupine on my head
On a W-H-I-M
And for no reason now I'll sing in French
Excusez-moi, Qui a pété? (Who cut the cheese?)

Got my straight jacket today, it's made of gold lamé
No, not because I'm crazy - I perform this way
I strap prime rib to my feet, cover myself with raw meat
I'll bet you've never seen a skirt steak worn this way

Don't be offended when you see
My latest pop monstrosity
I'm strange, weird, shocking, odd, bizarre
I'm Frankenstein, I'm Avatar
There's nothing too embarrassing
I'll honestly do anything
But wear white after Labor Day
'Cause baby, I perform this way

Hope you won't think it's cliché if I go nude today
Don't call the cops now, baby, I perform this way
No reason I should regret all the attention I get
I'm not completely crazy, I perform this way, yeah

I perform this way-hey, I perform this way-hey
I'm always deviating from the norm this way-hey
I perform this way-hey, I perform this way-hey
I'm really not insane -- I just perform this way-hey 





AMAZING. GENIUS.

Born To Express Youself

So Lady Gaga released her latest single 'Born This Way' which you can hear below:



and of course all the Gaga 'Monsters' as her fans like to call themselves have gone bananas over the song, tweeting and posting like crazy.
Me?
meh. Not so much.

I, along with many other peoples on the interweb, happen to think the song has almost the exact same tune as Madonna's 'Express Yourself':



I mean, look at the titles of both songs:
Express Yourself.
Born This Way.
Aren't they both really just saying the same thing, that we are who we are (even Ke$ha is apparently in on it) and that we cannot change this, but instead we should just be free to be ourselves? Lady Gaga wasn't the first person to come up with this idea as many would like to believe.

Yes Lady Gaga uses the words 'gay', 'straight', 'bi', 'lesbian', and 'transgendered' within the song, something that no other artists of her level of fame has ever done, but in reality, the song has more of a dance feel to it than an actual soul-stirring, life affecting impact that we were expecting. (And Madonna's song was made during the 80's so she's forgiven). imjustsaying.
