Lady Gaga the new single

This one was by special request. I wrote it in a slightly different way than usual but I hope that I did it justice. I hope it lives up to what the person was asking for.



Lady Gaga the new single






As everyone knows, Lady Gaga is known for her outrageous outfits and crazy videos. Her behaviour on stage and in public at times could be seen as wild. She certainly lives a wild lifestyle both on and off stage. She is also a fearless performer. She has always prided herself on her honesty and is someone who is never ashamed of who she is. She has worn dresses made from raw meat and all sorts of other outrageous items in the past. Sexuality, of course, is also a huge overriding concept that is threaded throughout all of her work. Her involvement in a variety of fetishes is something that she has not attempted to try to hide for anyone. She feels no shame or embarrassment whatsoever. Freedom of choice and freedom of expression are concepts that Lady Gaga has always championed.



WAM was one area that was a natural extension of the art that Lady Gaga has created. When she wrote a new album, one of the tracks on it contained WAM subject matter. The song was entitled “Suck in the muck”. Much to the shock of the record label, she decided to release this song as one of the singles. She loved the idea of the world hearing it, plus she new that it would be slightly controversial and would challenge people’s perceptions on certain things. It was part of her artistic vision to inspire people to place a mirror on themselves and to look inwards into themselves. She was not ashamed to open up herself in this way and hoped it would inspire others to do likewise. She now was going to make the video for the song. Needless to say, it was going to be an over the top spectacle, to be sure. Lady Gaga was going to be living out all of her messiest fantasies with upwards of thirty scantily clad dancers in toe. It is good to be famous. Most artists would not be given this sort of freedom by the record company, but Lady Gaga is an artist who has a unique vision. She also has been very successful, so the record company allows her a greater freedom of expression than they would normally afford and artist. Lady Gaga designed all of the costumes and all of the sets for the video. It was going to be outrageous, but it was going to be fantastic.



When the final product was ready and cut together it produced quite a stir at the record company, but it would certainly get people talking, and that was never a bad thing. The video was pretty typical in its format, Lady Gaga and her dancers in various costumes on various sets cut together in time with the music. The video went something like this:



It started off with a close up of Lady Gaga’s face. She spoke into the camera the words, “I want to suck in the muck baby, yeah.” With that, she was hit full on in the face with a huge creamy pie. It was quickly pulled away and she winked at the camera. The music then started in. Lady Gaga was now shown wearing a dress that looked like and ice cream sundae. She stood half engulfed in an enormous mountain of ice cream. The dancers danced around. The mountain was a mixture of plastic construct and real ice cream, whipped cream and topping. He head was covered in ice cream and strawberry and chocolate sauce poured down her face. It looked like makeup but it was real. Ice cream melted down her body. It was hard to distinguish which bits were the fabric of her clothes and which were sweet desserts. She moved her hands about and danced hypnotically. She began to sing some of the lyrics. “ I make no secret, I’m a dirty girl. I get as filthy as anyone you know. I like to feel the slime all over me. I like it to cover me from my head to my toes.” The dancers danced provocatively. As they danced and Lady Gaga sang, she dropped bits of ice cream from her fingers onto their heads. They spun around as they were covered in the melting ice cream. “There’s nothing wrong with getting dirty. It’s enjoyment that everyone should give a try. It can get fun when sex gets messy. Come on and get me dirty baby. Step right up and don‘t be shy”



Lady Gaga was now shown on another set. This time she was lying down in a gigantic rotating bowl of spaghetti and meatballs. Her outfit looked like it had plastic spaghetti attached. She rolled around in the giant amount of spaghetti, writing around in it. She looked at the camera and looked up. As she looked up, a deluge of spaghetti sauce fell from the ceiling onto Lady Gaga and the contents of the enormous bowl. She arched her back as the sauce poured from the ceiling straight down onto her awaiting body. “There’s nothing baby to be shy about. Everyone loves a bit of muck. Look into your heart and you will love it too. So come baby and we can really start to suck,” she sang.



The chorus then started in as yet another set was revealed. This time Lady Gaga and some of her dancers were all sitting in a gigantic replica martini glass. She was dressed like an umbrella that would be placed in a martini glass, complete with a special little hat that was strapped to her head. They danced about in the glass as she sang the chorus. “Come on baby, let’s suck, suck suck in the muck, muck, muck tonight” She repeated it three times, repeating the dance steps three times. On the third time she looked up. As she did, a s giant wave of brightly coloured green slime fell from the ceiling onto her and the dancers. They slipped and slid around the now slippery interior of the martini glass. The slime rained from the ceiling for what seemed like ages. It poured and poured until the glass was totally filled to the top with green slime. Lady Gaga and her dancers rolled around in the slime, that now covered them up to their necks. Lady Gaga then stuck her head out of the martini glass. Winking she sang, “I wanna suck in the muck.” She winked suggestively into the camera.



The video then started with a new scene as the next verse began as well. As absurd as it was, Lady Gaga was now shown on an enormous set that was made to look like a 50’s diner. In the middle of it was an enormous, human sized hot dog bun. She sat in it, her body in the bun. Her head and neck sticking out. She wore a hat that resembled a beaded lamp shade made entirely out of real hot dogs. She looked up and started to sing again. Meanwhile, the dancers, now dressed in 50’s waitress outfits complete with paper hats poured industrial sized containers of ketchup, mustard and pickled relish over her body. “Don’t be ashamed to embrace the mess. It is something that you will grow to embrace. I will be happy to just lie right back. I don’t mind if you put a pie in my face,” she sang. She wiggled her hands dancing and moved her knees back and forth as the dancers slowly poured the hot dog condiments over her body and the oversized bun that she was sat in. “You can have me anyway you want me. A bit of messiness can be oh so nice. Just pour it on me any way you like. It feels so nice I say please slime me twice,” she sang.



The video then switched to another set. This set and everything in it looked like it was made out of candy floss. The floors the bits of extended set and Lady Gaga’s clothes were all bright pink and fluffy as if it was all cotton candy. Even the walls were covered. Her head was surrounded by what looked like a cotton candy bonnet. She began to sing again. “You can see how much fun we could have. You and me all covered in the mess. Don’t have to rush it, it can take all night. Can do it whether we are clothed or undressed.” She was on all fours dancing around. Some areas of the pink floor seems to sink when stepped in. Some of the areas were pink slime. Lady Gaga slid on the floor and wound up in a pool of the pink slime. The whole set was bit of a rounded incline. “I love it mess. Getting dirty is the best. I love to get so messy with you. I hope you like what my desires are. I hope you wanna get dirty with me too.” As she finished her line, a wave of pink gunge poured down the incline, hitting Lady Gaga and her candy floss clothed dancers. The writhed and danced as the gunge continued pouring in. The pink gunge covered them all.



After that another set was shown. Lady Gaga began to sing the chorus again. This set was made to look like an alley. Lady Gaga was wearing dress made entirely out of bin liners. They were puffed out with air and looked pretty amazing considering. She danced in the alley way in front of a skip. This was inter cut with close ups of her in the skip and surrounded by garbage bags which may or may not have been filled with rubbish. As she sang, she put her hand to her mouth and looked up. When she looked up, brown gunge poured from above down on her and the garbage bags. She closed her eyes as she was hit with the gunge. Then she was shown dancing, covered in the brown gunge.



As the song neared its conclusion, Lady Gaga was shown in closeup one more time. Her face already dripping in gunge. The music ended and she looked into the camera seductively, saying in her sexiest voice,” yeah, come on and get me messy baby.” One second later, another massive pie came out of nowhere and smashed straight into her face. The pie exploded everywhere. The camera was now filled with Lady Gaga’s pied face. She looked into the camera and licked her lips. She gave a cheeky smile and then winked.

The camera cut away for a minute and then back again. Lady Gaga said,” Extreme remix.” At the end of the video Lady Gaga was on yet another set It looked like and S and M chamber. She was dressed in black leather and chains. She danced around and then began to pull out items herself, pouring them on herself as she danced. She first took out a bucket that was filled with manure. She took out huge clumps with her hands. She showed it to the camera and then pushed her hands to her head, putting manure on her hair. She then took two more handfuls and plopped them onto her chest. She rubbed the manure all over herself massaging it into her clothes and body, massaging herself sensually with her filthy hands.




She then took a bucket of molasses and tipped it down her front. She took her hands and rubbed it in all over her clothes and body. They were black and sticky as if they were tar. She placed her hands together and then pulled them apart, demonstrating how sticky they were. Following that, she took a bucket of feathers and dumped them over herself. They rained on her and stuck in place where the molasses were. She rubbed her sticky hands on hr face and backside. Feathers were stuck everywhere. She flapped her arms in the air. She was almost doing some kind of bizarre chicken impersonation because of the feathers.



Strangely, she took a box of itching powder and displayed it for the whole word too see. She looked deeply into the camera and then rambunctiously poured the itching powder all over herself. She then began to roll around and write in the mess in a bizarre irregular dance. The sensuality and eroticism of what she was going could not be denied.



She then took a large trash can filled with rotten vegetables and tipped that over herself as well. She lay on her back and rolled around on the floor. She took some of the larger vegetables in her hands and displayed them, posing with them as if they were props. She then took her hands and tore apart heads of lettuce and cabbages. She shredded them with her long pointy nails. She dispatched them sending their shredded remains all over herself and all over the stage. She ripped apart eggplants and pumpkins, sending skins and seeds everywhere. When it was over she was clad in the remains of the destroyed vegetables.



The video stopped taping, but she stayed there for awhile, rolling around and playing in the collected mess. The others thought she was crazy, but the feeling that she got was amazing and she did not care what anyone else thought. The video and the single were smashes, of course, like everything she has ever released. Once again, when you are true to yourself, you can never go wrong.

  1. Thanks for doing this request; I really appreciate it. I was interested to see what you'd come up with, and I think you've perfectly captured the feel of a Lady Gaga video here. If Lady Gaga ever did a song about WAM, this is what it would be like.

  2. I think that this is something that could actually happen. I hope I got Lady Gaga's spirit of freedom of expression across. If she liked mess, this might be what she would come up with.
