Framed

Lady GaGa, Framed

As a change of pace, this week we've decided to spotlight dance music. And we can think of no better video to do so than Lady GaGa's #1 smash hit, "Just Dance."

"Just Dance" was the first single off her 2008 debut album, The Fame, and it hit #1 in the U.S. and at least five other countries when she was just 22 years old. To prove it was no fluke, the follow-up, "Poker Face," also hit #1 later in the year, and the album is still at #5 on the Billboard chart. According to fellow Y! Music blogger Paul Grein, "At least one song from this album has been listed in the top five for all but two weeks since before Thanksgiving."

Pretty impressive, huh? Equally impressive is the video for "Just Dance," showing the bacchanalia that is the modern dance scene. It looks like nuthin' but fun, so sit back and enjoy the video, our frames and the captions we have--as always--very thoughtfully provided for your reading pleasure!

 

1--Little-known fact: Lady GaGa was a seventh-round pick of the Dallas Cowboys in '08.

 

2--"Um, P, E, C, F and D. No, no, make that O!"

 

3--The Lyndsey Lohan recording session could now proceed!

 

4--Lady GaGa is a talented singer, songwriter and salt lick.

 

5--Come to Iowa. It's life-changing.

 

6--"I guess I should tell you I'm married. And gay. And, of course, a Republican."

 

7--Lady GaGa's head occasionally visits a completely different dimension, and nobody cares!

 

8--"Still think I'm not over you? He's twice the marine mammal you are, Flipper!"

 

9--"Um, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing and nothing. No, no, make that nothing!"

 

10--"I shall hunt down and slay this 'Pumpkinhead' you speak of. So vows Snarehead!"

 

11--"Perhaps ironically, to save dance music, I must actually kill Lady GaGa," mused Gummo, The Sentient Disco Ball.

 

12--How Happy, The Microphone, got his name!
