I’m glad Born This Way ended up being the lead cause wdym MTN was intended for the lead? Nothing against it but this was like the one case where the title track had to be a lead without a doubt, given the album’s message and relevance to its title. :awkney:

I totally agree

That said, I’m soooo curious to know what it would’ve been like if the lead single was Marry The Night, The Edge Of Glory or Bloody Mary

JAJAJAJAJAJ It's because we went from songs like "Happy in the club with a bottle of red wine, stars in our eyes 'cause we're having a good time, so happy I could die" to... "Whenever I'm dressed cool, my parents put up a fight and if I'm hot shot, mom will cut my hair at night" like GIRL WHAT ITS THISSSS 🤣

Imagine thinking SHICD is mature pls 😭 Not to mention that you chose to compare it to a song written from the POV of her as a teen lmao

If you think SHICD is immature when it talks about accepting your death peacefully, I think you're not very mature 🫥

And just because that's the point of view in Hair... doesn't make it any less cheesy. It's in the album 😅

Gaga doesn’t have a lot of mature singles… most mature ones being from Born This Way :deadbanana:

Ngl the dolls that somehow think Gaga’s whole thing isn’t camp and purposefully cheesy on the whole confuse me lmao. But have fun convincing yourself “I do my hair, I gloss my eyes, I touch myself all through the night” is a mature lyric ig 🤣

No shade, but if you think a song about getting high and drunk off your ass at the club is about coming to terms with death, you’re certainly not very mature :air:

The self-serious dolls who will convince themselves being “c*nty” = being deep and being camp/cheesy is immature would find a way to make a song about getting fisted up to the elbow about accepting that life is fundamentally suffering and would call it a Zen Buddhist anthem just to soothe their own need for self-importance :bradley:. Praying for them.

Yoü and I would've been a career highlight if they had stuck to the more energetic rock arrangement of The Monster Ball instead of making it more country-infused.

That's your opinion and it's okay, but don't call me a doll 😄 Maybe your parents wanted to cut your hair, and you identify with that 😄

That’s like the whole point of the song. Bold, rebellious, misunderstood, freak, frustration.

Hair is quintessential BTW, it aligns with the album’s concept on the same level as Born This Way (Single) same for Bad Kids, Black Jesus, MTN. 

Lyrics don’t need to be poetic, she’s telling a story, the one us fans related to in the same way she did. 
 
“I just I felt like a freak, I guess what I'm trying to say is, I want to liberate them, I want to free them of their fears and make them feel that they can create their own space in the world”
