here's a quick rundown of what was supposed to make me, or you for that matter, fall off the chair but didn't.
[1] sex, sex and more sex. but who's counting?
[2] skin. wouldn't you be more flabbergasted if everyone was all covered up?
[3] s & m. leather and metal have been used and abused and, therefore, don't do anything for anyone anymore.
[4] satanic imagery. yeah, yeah. bring it on. as if it will freak anyone out these days.
[5] parody of madonna's cone bra in the form of an m-16. hilarious but, as copycats go, it somehow fails to deliver the goods.
you know, even the video's 2.6 million plus plus views on you tube in two days doesn't draw a series of oohs and aahs from me. why not, she was on time's 100 most influential, wasn't she?
*****
now, a not-so-quick rundown of what actually shocked me.
[1] all those half naked men. no, not their quantity. and, no, not their abs either. it was their hair, all cut in three stooges fashion which i found oh so disturbing they gave me a bad dream.
[2] lady gaga's hair. i don't have hair fetish but did she honestly expect to pull off a music video that's laced with sex from start to finish with her crowning glory like that? i am scandalized, seriously.
*****
lady gaga has basically two problems here. first, it is extremely difficult to top one shocking video after another. second, what's even more difficult is to be a successful newbie and be compared to the legend that is madonna. but still you gotta hand it to gaga. this girl knows how to have fun. er, cyndi lauper, is that you?!?
