Anveeroy 59,089 Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 1. There are three Alfred Hitchcock film titles hidden in the lyrics Gaga name checks three of the iconic British director’s most famous films (Psycho, Vertigo, and Rear Window) in the second verse, with the lyrics “I want your psycho, your vertigo shtick/Want you in my rear window, baby you’re sick”, referencing his films’ fascination with the relationship between sexuality and violence. 2. That’s not the only apparent film reference Bad Romance makes It’s been suggested the white latex suits in the video were a nod to the children’s book Where The Wild Things Are, being based on the design of the wolf costume worn by the character Max. 3. The video was originally going to be very different She had planned to shoot the video outside in New York City, with more elaborate sets, but she was forced to rethink due to budget constraints. It then ended up being shot in Los Angeles over a two-day period squeezed into Gaga’s ridiculously busy schedule. 4. Gaga had an Alexander McQueen exclusive in the video After Gaga sent late fashion designer Alexander McQueen an early version of Bad Romance to debut during his final runway show, he returned the favour by sending her all of his clothes from the Plato’s Atlantis collection to wear in the video before anyone else. 5. Gaga’s body was digitally edited in various scenes That’s not the only bit of editing to Gaga’s body that took place in the video either, as it was digitally altered to show her spine and decrease the size of her waist in a scene where she is showering. 6. Gaga set a UK chart record when she eventually reached number one After Bad Romance eventually hit the UK top spot, Gaga became the first solo female artist to have three chart-toppers in a calendar year, with Just Dance and Poker Face also reaching #1 in 2009. 7. Gaga wrote the song while in Norway on her tour bus She penned it with long-time collaborator and producer RedOne. “I remember me and Gaga in a bus doing Bad Romance,” he said in a BBC interview in 2010. “We did it on a bus, with two pairs of headphones. And as soon as I heard that ‘woah-oh-oh-oh-oaahhh’ from the intro, I could just see a whole stadium singing it.” 8. For a big seller, it’s notably absent on end-of-year and end-of-decade charts While it has sold over 1 million copies in the UK overall, due to its end-of-year and end-of-decade release date, it features low down on the best-selling singles of 2009 and 2010 (#17 and #30 respectively). 9. Bad Romance has been covered by a heap of stars Perhaps the most famous cover of Bad Romance came courtesy of 30 Seconds To Mars, who performed it in the Radio 1 Live Lounge in 2010. Hollywood star Joesph Gordon Levitt also did a tongue-in-cheek rock version during a set at Manhattan’s Pianos in 2010. 10. It never hit the top spot in the US Despite topping the charts in more than 20 countries, one place it didn’t manage it was in Gaga’s home country.
