Is his face digitally imposed on a woman’s body in that video? Jarring! ---

I love the video! It’s not a bad song, either. ---

You’re right, Al, I’ve never seen a skirt steak worn that way. It’s just not a Weird Al song if it doesn’t have at least one line that makes you go, “Eeeewwwww!” I don’t know which recent visual image has creeped me out more, the black quills popping out of Natalie Portman’s shoulders or Weird Al’s face superimposed on the dancer in this video. :eek: ---

The fan based videos which came out before the official one show Gaga wearing a meat skirt (and shoes), which he just copied in his video. You might be surprised to find not much in his video is made up. She actually has done almost everything he shows in the video. ---

I wonder who the body double for Gaga was? Great video; decent enough lyrics. Loved the swipe at her for being so much like Madonna in general, and for ripping off “Express Myself” specifically. ---

> [@Red\_Barchetta](#): > > Who is the random blond girl he pushes out of the way? To add to **Czarcasm** ’s post, it’s Madonna as dressed for the 1990 [Blond Ambition](http://www.film.com/photos/madonna/attachment/madonna-during-blond-ambition-tour) tour. ---

I wonder how Gaga’s fandom breaks down. I would bet good money that she doesn’t care how much she sounds like Madonna because most of her fans are too young to be more than vaguely aware of more than Like A Virgin and Material Girl. ---

According to Weird Al’s [blog](http://alyankovic.wordpress.com/2011/06/21/alpocalypse-now/), Vlada Gorbaneva supplied the body, Marissa Heart was the contortionist, and Holly Beavon was the Madonna impersonator. ---
