Arcanum 5,155 Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 I think "Babylon" is the epitome of Gaga's genius song writing. Apart from the obvious references in culture/voguing and the tongue-in-cheek homophones "Babble on-Babylon" I found this very interesting info. Gaga was a Babylonian minor deity according to the "Enûma Eliš" which is a 7th century B.C. old document describing the creation of the world. https://books.google.gr/books?id=qgjITuoONc8C&pg=PT10&lpg=PT10&dq=enuma+elis+gaga&source=bl&ots=SXSvBupCi4&sig=ACfU3U1iAgr9Tbdf0E7-vaQq0PP4eqZ7dQ&hl=el&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiT-77KpO3pAhUk2-AKHb1PCDMQ6AEwCHoECAQQAQ#v=onepage&q=enuma elis gaga&f=false "Addressed a word to Gaga, his minister: "O Gaga, my vizier, who gladdens my spirit, I will dispatch you to Lahmu and Lahamu. . . . you are adept; . . . produce you before me! . . . let all the gods, Let them hold converse, sit down to a banquet, Let them eat bread, let them mix wine, For Marduk, their avenger, let them fix the decrees." ...And then she created Chromatica! We stan an old Babylonian Queen Legend and that's all the motivation you kiddos need to study ancient Herstory. I Wantth your Love...I Wantth your Love.

OCD 405 Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 I have lots of Babylonian genes, you don't want to wish her with so much hair. I've got wigs of hair growing everywhere except my tounge. She's definitely Italian. Every time I listen to her song Hair I start crying. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
