Cody Draco 2,531 Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 So I was just listening to Hung Up (I'm bopping to Confessions as a whole right now) and what caught my attention is how similar the themes/premises of Telephone and Hung Up are. I'm not talking about the videos. I'm talking about the songs themselves lyrically. Using telephones metaphorically and what not. I think it is very possible since Gaga was a huge fan and it's not a bad thing. I'm not Telephone's biggest fan (I think it's overrated as a song just because it has a great video) but it is very much it's own thing so it's not reductive or anything of that nature. What do you guys think? :reductive: http://youtu.be/EDwb9jOVRtU http://youtu.be/pNcvmwxoK2g Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cody Draco 2,531 Posted February 9, 2015 Author Share Posted February 9, 2015 reaching I actually don't think I'm really reaching that far. They are both dance pop and lyrically similar. Like I said it's not a bad thing. They are their own entities. i always thought this I honestly just noticed it today. It's nice to know I'm not the only one who thinks this. :P Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

djBuffoon 12,129 Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 I don't hear the similarities. And anyway, "Hung Up" is itself a reworking of "Gimme Gimme Gimme" by ABBA. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBNLM 1,640 Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 there is nothing similar , only because madonna says ring ring ring that dose not make the themes similar. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brooke Hoegan 1,018 Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 I always felt like the strings synth in chorus was hugely inspired by ABBA and Hung Up was obviously inspired by ABBA but Telephone inspired directly by Hung Up ? No Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
