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.

The Edge Of.... The Curb?

So...
As i'm sure you've all heard by now, Lady Gaga has released her latest music video for her latest single 'The Edge of Glory'


and of course all the 'Monsters' can't get enough of it. Me? Call me dumb, but I REALLY don't get the hype.

In the video, literally ALL she does is move about on a New York city fire escape; sits on a stoep; and walks a bit on the sidewalk/ pavement/ curb depending on what you call it.

Come on you guys. Let's be serious. Calling the video 'simple' does not justify it. It's lame. It's boring.
The only interesting thing about it is the vintage Versace outfit she wears,

 and the makeshift top from the Hermes scarf:

At some point there's a sax solo by Clarence Clemons which, as a former Sax player myslef, is cool i suppose, but that's about it.


And can we just get one thing straight? The song itself is not "amazing". There is nothing about it that makes one go: 'omg it just took my breathe away, i think i just pee'd my pants' about it. 


Most of the time all she actually SAYS is 'the edge', 'the edge', 'the edge'. 35 times to be exact. That means NOTHING. 
Can everybody just calm their shit about it? It's sort of a catchy song but that's all. Nothing awe-inspiring or life-changing. 


Can we just ignore it and go back to singing Judas? Which is AMAZING.
