Kate Bush 256 Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Bad Romance and Poker Face both of them are of one the most successful songs ever released..and of course the catchiest part in these songs which everyone knows were the "Mum mum mum mah" "Ra ra ra rah" and both of them are a "Boney M" references Mum mum mum mah part is from Boney M's "Ma Baker" and Ra ra rah is from "Rasputin"so should Gaga add some Boney M reference to her next single to make it a hit?

thewave 2 Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 TBH it's a reach. Just because a syllable is repeated dosen't mean it was taken from or sampled from another song. I love Boney M and Rasputin, but the ra rahs aren't similar at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schwerk 6,483 Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 yeah true but i always thought the Rah Rah's were there for two reasons besides being catchy;1) I thought it was to imitate the slightly chop & skrew/stutter effect industrial pop music has sometimes 2) In reference to a monsters "roar" aka "rarwr" = Rah I think it also refers to her own style of singing when she's behind a piano. When she improvs accapella she tends to scat a bit with her voice. Might be her jazz background creeping in.I dont think Monsters were 'born' yet when Gaga wrote Bad Romance. The song itself and the choreography triggered her to call us by that name. According to Gaga I'm a ****ing rad bitch Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love Boney M and Rasputin, but the ra rahs aren't similar at all. On Rasputin I agree but Pokerface could've sampled Ma Baker, that's how similar it is. That Mah mah mah mah was iconic way before Gaga came around and she was a clever cookie using it in her song in her way. Seeing how heavily influenced her early work is by disco, it wouldn't suprice me if she's listened to Boney M quite a bit.

Boney M are a good group and their music is difficult to escape. It surprises me that you have made this connection in relationship to Lady Gaga and her greatest hits. Well done!

It surprises me that you have made this connection in relationship to Lady Gaga and her greatest hits. Well done! I am a HUGE fan of them. I grew up listening to 70's/80's music like ABBA, Boney M, Kate Bush, Bowie, Fleetwood Mac, Queen, Blondie, MJ...etc. Thanks to my parents Thank you for your comment Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
