I hate whoever suggested Monster is about date rape. That's all I can hear now, and it's turned a fun song about a bad boy into something much darker.

I've been thinking about it too...but the date rape thing just doesn't seem to jive with some of the lyrics. Specifically the spoken intro (Don't call me Gaga...) and the subway train encounter (French kissed on a subway train...).

Were it not for those to parts I would be down with the date rape interpretation. The spoken intro seems to really kind of throw out the idea that the subject was drugged.

Incidentally I think it's kind of cool that Poker Face also has the low voiced "Muh-muh-muh-muh" in it as well. I was actually hoping it was thematic somehow but since Poker Face was released before Monster it just seems a bit coincidental.

Put his arms around me
Said “Boy now get your paws right off me”

Yeah, that's it. I'm not sure which version I like better at this point, though I do kind of like the fact that the demo is faster.

It definitely sounds like the different layers haven't been leveled or something. Sounds a little more "amateur," if that makes sense. It's a little different, but not really that horrible.

Also, there's only one way a person would be listening to that one instead of the CD version....

Yeah, someone that doesn't want to buy a censored CD. I would have bought it when it came out but an uncensored version of the album just became available in the US like a week ago, and only on iTunes at that (and one song is still censored).

I have the iTunes censored version, and I also get "bit" instead of "bitch"--but the song also clearly opens with, "Don't want your money (want your money) (that poo poo's ugly)."

I have a handful of friends that like Lady Gaga because she doesn't sound like an idiot in interviews and she has this whole philosophical self-aware glam-rock modonna-esque thing. She calls her music "soulless electronic pop."

Monster is yet another parable for Gaga's entry into the world of pop music. I've noticed that in her songs, perceived references to men are usually metephors. Like if you heard Bad Romance on the radio you'd think "oh yeah, she's singin to some dude" but listening to it in context with the rest of her work you realize it's a love/hate letter to the recording industry. Monster is no different. The "Monster" in the song is Fame, personified as an alluring dude. It's kind of date-rapey, but it's more about the equal parts danger and allure of absolute stardom, which is basically what the whole album is about, hence "Fame Monster".

Another interesting thing to consider is she endearingly refers to her fans as "little monsters", so maybe it's less about the allure of fame and more the intoxication of having thousands of people be in love with you.

Dear God, I went over to her forums out of curiosity after reading this and :psypop:. Are all intense music fans so scary? I felt extremely disturbed after reading just a few of the threads over there, I can't even begin to imagine what it's like being the subject of some of these insane posts. For example:

Insane Lady Gaga Fan posted:

Hey Gaga my love,

I wanted to tell you something incredible. I really do hope you can read this since I can't connect you in any other way, sadly ...

First I wanna say, I love you so much, you're my life...and everything to me.
So glad you exsist, and make such an amazing music, you're such a brilliant, most generous and the sweetest person I've had the chance to "know".
You touch me so greatly, you don't know, make my life joyful, so thank you.

I WANTED TO TELL YOU ..........
( http://www.ladygaga.com/forum/default.aspx?cid=454&tid=393444 )

Now I've developed some kind of strange Lady Gaga addiction, but drat I can't even imagine being in the frame of mind that a lot of these people seem to be in. It sounds like she's their sole reason for living and getting up every day and it's kind of frightening, frankly.

Acts like Lady Gaga tend to inspire strange amounts of devotion.

It doesn't really seem to matter what the music is actually like, it seems to be based around larger than life personas.

Doesn't seem like her at all. For some reason it makes me think of Fever Ray, or The Knife- and The Knife have a new project in the works, though I'm not sure if that'd make for better evidence for or against.

Looks really loving cool, though, whoever it is.

Another "unreleased" Lady Gaga track, Filthy Pop, has been posted on FameMonsterTV's YouTube Channel: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PrdC3qxn4vw

She sounds so much like Gwen Stefani in this track, and parts of it are strikingly similar to Summer Boy.

Fashion was written by Lady Gaga and she gave it to Heidi to use for her album. Gaga recorded it first. When I saw her in Boston, it was one of only 5 shows I think where she played that song.

edit: Also Gaga gave her song Fever to Adam Lambert even though she recorded it first and fun fact: Telephone was originally written by Gaga and she gave it to Britney Spears to use on Circus, but she didn't have room on the album.

I know too much about a pop superstar.

You are also enabling others with information like this.

I wonder if Britney recorded a version of "Telephone" or if it the decision not to include was made first? I would love to hear a Britney version just to see if the song stood on its own or if it is indeed magical Gaga power that makes it fun. I also wonder if it was written with Britney in mind because it really seems to suit her stylistically (I didn't like this song the first time I heard the intro because of it's pouty Britney vibe, the rest of the song won me over though).
