I love it, I like it better than Telephone. Telephone was clever but a little too campy for my taste. Anyway I don't know jack shit about art or anything, but I think Lady Gaga is an artist and for once, it's nice to understand the inspiration behind her work. I mean, I know it's not a coincidence there is a barbed wire wrapped heart with a nail driven through it on a pillow in the beginning of the video. That is directly influenced by The Real World London's Neil and the valentine he got from his then-girlfriend Chrys.
I even remember Portishead's "Sour Times" was the song during that segment.
I'm not the only person who remembers that, right?
I keep looking for a video clip of it online but youtube is worthless. Now I'm reobsessed with Neil from The Real World London.
Here is his amusing website.
