Lady Gaga has three heads
Lady Gaga announces that ‘Marry the Night’ will be the fifth single off ‘Born This Way’ — Do you think it’s the best ...
Paws up! Are you ready to dance? Last night it was announced the fifth single off Lady Gaga’s Born This Way would be fan favorite “Marry The Night.”
A release date hasn’t been set, but power piano ballad “Yoü And I“ is still in the Top 10, so it would make sense for her to wait a bit before officially putting “Marry The Night” out to radio. Then again, when has Gaga ever taken the conventional approach?
With the typical pop tracks from Born This Way already released — “Judas” and “Edge of Glory” — as well as her title anthem, it’ll be interesting to see how the rest of the album holds up on radio. Born This Way as a whole is lot less get-this-party-started than The Fame or The Fame Monster, and many tracks are more piano and electronic-driven, which doesn’t necessarily translate to Top 40.
Interestingly, “Marry The Night” was supposed to be the third single, coming out right when the album dropped in May. But Monster obsession with sneak previews of “Edge of Glory” changed Gaga’s mind.
I’m personally not crazy about the song (I was hoping the conventional-but-fun “Hair” or melodic and eerie “Bloody Mary” would make the cut), but this ode to NYC is probably her best option if she wants to release a club track.
And it may be half in German, but I still have my monster paws crossed for “Scheiße,” her high-heeled-and-blonde ode to feminism.
Take a listen to “Marry The Night” below:
Music Mixers: What about you? Excited for “Marry the Night” or were you hoping for another Gaga song to be Lucky Number 5? Any guesses on what the video will look like?

Lady Gaga lives for playing dress up. She's obviously known for her outfits and fashion antics -- It's meat! It's a dress! It's totally BOTH! -- and for the last couple of months, she's been working on installments of short fashion films featuring a handful of her carefully crafted personalities. In her latest foray into the fashion world, Lady Gaga created a video montage for Nicola Formichetti's collection for Thierry Mugler's Women's Wear Paris fashion show. Gaga is the main character of the video, and she is, of course, sporting buck teeth and pigtails. Sure. Why not?
The Inez and Vinoodh-shot video opens with fashion's elite anxiously surrounding the catwalk in a dark room. From the center of the stage, a flickering film begins to play portraying a close-up of Lady Gaga's lips with an uncomfortably intimate view of her faux buck teeth. She whispers, "Sometimes.. My heart sometimes feels so black... And other days my heart feels like rainbows." While a dramatic piano dubs the soundtrack, different angles capture the "Yoü And I" singer whipping her multi-colored locks back and forth like a regular Willow Smith. An ominous strobe light effect highlights the shot, giving it a haunted house vibe. But, duh, we all know that every day is Halloween in Gagaland!
Also, we should mention that Gaga has three heads.
As the clip fades out, models work the Spring/Summer 2012 Mugler collection to dim lighting and the same dramatic tune. We're not really sure what's going on here, and it's pretty effing creepy. But it's also strangely lovely. In other words, GAGA WAS HERE!
