Government Hooker uses melody from The Cure - Lullaby

Featured Posts

I was just listening to this last autumn (took some time to make a topic lol) and forgot to share. Probably many of you already know but it was a surprise to me.

The string pluck at 00:46 is very similar to Government Hookers synth pluck. I have a feeling that was on purpose as Gaga mentioned she was listening to quite a lot of metal and rock while writing Born This Way. This song was also featured in AHS: Hotel. Thought i would share as previously I couldnt find it on whosampled.

Are there any other melodies that you recognized were taken from other songs on Gaga records? If yes, lets share them here!

That's pretty cool, might be a coincidence or inspiration. I've always thought Government Hooker had a bit of these two songs:

The instrumental:

 

The "As long as I'm your hooker" -> "Groove is in the heart" melody: (1:45)

 

I'm not saying she/they copied these songs but Born This Way was clearly inspired by 80's and 90s music and it's one of the things that make me love it.

I always thought that Government Hooker sounded a little like this Tokyo Motel song:

Tokio Hotel is such an underrated group. Throwback to being 12 in 2008, TH playing on my iPod nano in the school hallway with a twilight novel in hand, Gaga just breaking onto the scene. Take me back :sis:

It's just a synth pluck though that is easily made, it's not 'taken from' it just sounds alike

I sense a bit of defensiveness even tho there is nothing wrong with having inspiration from other artists as a musician or to use melodies from songs that they like.

We will never know I guess if it was or not, unless someone asks DJWS

I know right?? My sister introduced me to them way back when and I've been a fan of them ever since!
