But once "Just Dance" hit the top of the charts, it seemed that nothing could stop an endless torrent of Gaga: "Poker Face" and "LoveGame" following close on its heels. Quite an auspicious start to 2009 for a girl who had been, until quite recently, a nearly unknown singer/songwriter performing nightly burlesque-inspired shows in New York City dives after leaving the prestigious Tisch School of the Arts at NYU (where she gained early acceptance at age 17) to pursue her music career. Gaga madness had officially reached pandemic status. The following week, after 22 weeks of climbing, it reached #1 on the Billboard Hot 100. By the end of 2008, "Just Dance" had become the unavoidable song of the moment, the ubiquitous soundtrack for just about everybody's New Years festivities. Released in April 2008, "Just Dance" steadily climbed the charts through the summer and fall, gaining Gaga a huge fan base through radio airplay and word of mouth (and, just a guess, from people blasting the song out of their cars).
It might not be too much of an exaggeration to say that 2009 was the "Year of the Gaga." After first appearing on the pop charts, seemingly out of nowhere, in 2008 with her hit single "Just Dance," Lady Gaga suddenly found herself on the tip of everybody's tongue.
Kanye West made an even bigger joke out of himself than we thought possible and somehow skyrocketed Taylor Swift to fame in the process. Gay rights activists took to the streets to try to win the right to marry conservative Tea Party activists took to the streets to try to stop the Democrats from enacting what they saw as a "socialist" political agenda. Polar bears got stuck on thinning sheets of polar ice humans got hit with a nasty plague of H1N1 swine flu. Iraq cooled off a bit while Afghanistan heated up. Twilight conquered the world, sending teenage girls everywhere into a feeding frenzy over human/vampire/werewolf love triangles. The economy teetered on the brink of Great Depression 2.0. I am not sure, just my interpretation :D Great song anyway you look at it!No mistake about it: 2009 was a big year.īarack Obama became the first Black President of the United States. Part is showing she doesn't care about him in fact at all just getting back at him, she is willing to live her life while trying to get at him. And then the "Real good, we dance in the studio (the music video again) For instance: "but I won't stop" sounds a bit darker the rest. Or, for a crazy interpretation, the whole song is sarcastic and she just wants to get back at him. And she needs more fame then ever to settle herself, and it's driving her insane, (the whole stalker sound part of it) and then people die over it (in the music video for instance) So I am guessing the message is about how ame kills people. Like in the music video, it shows all these women killed by their spouses/boy friends. Well, watching the music video I think it may be talking about abuse, and how "she" will always love the "abuser" no matter what, even though he trys to kill her for fame. Purple teardrops I cry, it don't have a price Yeah 'cause you're my rock star in between the sets
