I can't believe I just found out about this. :rip:

I was reading up some release dates of Lady Gagas songs on Wikipedia, and I found this message:

"On November 9, 2011, there was an emergency alert test that activated at 2 p.m. EST. However, DirecTV users didn't hear the 3-tone beep first, and the song was played instead."

I looked this up and it's actually real :air::

Apparently this was a part of a larger EAS issue during the test; some stations ran the test for way longer than 30 seconds. I think the Lady Gaga based mistake was due to it being a radio station involved with DirectTV?

Spoiler

It's a shame that Marry The Night wasn't played since it was about to need it at the time. :madge:

Now that you mention it, the post chorus would pop off as an EAS alarm.
