ON REPLAY: Bad Romance by Lady Gaga

Tonight on our Top 40 Radio Station, KDWB, Lady Gaga's newest single, Bad Romance, aired on their nightly segment called The New-ish at Nine-ish, or something to that effect. The premise of the feature is to pit two new songs against each other, one is the previous night's champion, and the other the contender. Listeners call in to vote...yada yada yada...

Let's see, the first time I heard this song was at the finale for Alexander McQueen's Spring 2010 show...I remember waking up and going directly to his website to watch the streaming recording...10.07.2009. Both the song and show were fabulous. Fabulous to the max -- walking down the runway in these shoes with this song? Fabulous. FEROCIOUS.

So, 20 days, that's the lag-time for a hot single to finally percolate into middle America? And Lady Gaga lost tonight too! To some single by Uncle Kracker! Which took 68% of the votes! Minnesota, YOU LOSE.
