She claims this is where she got her name. I for one think she's great. There is a time and a place for perfect Top 40 pop, and she is just about perfect. She is exactly what that genre needed.

Funniest thing I've ever heard here! 

Oh dear god. Lady dada made it to my paradise.
The end must be nigh. 

I changed my mind.  I like this one a lot.  She's a pretty impressive artist - albeit with what many folks would consider a slightly "different" style.  But props to her as a person.  There's an cool story here.

so after spinning class while lifting what comes on from jacksonville number one hit music station WAPE the big ape?  you guessed it - and thats why i hate it ......it was fine the first time i heard it, ok the second, but the play count is seriously up there and i'm just sick of it

i'm fine with mainstream/pop/dance from time to time - just not the most overplayed song of the year

I absolutely dig this song.  Believe it or not, this gal is a classically trained pianist, and does a pretty mind-boggling acoustic rendition of this on a 9' grand.  But even the souped-up dance version Bill just played makes me shake my butt in the car.  She's really pretty talented, and I respect her for utilizing her classical training in the genre she truly loves.

Her music is just plain bad, but she knows how to market herself better than anyone since Madonna.

I'm all for shaking things up once in a while, but with Lady Gaga??

I wonder if this http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=121226486 article helped nudge Bill to do this.

Note how she has a "Hipster Rejection Scale: 10 of 10"....so true!

Now I realize what Freddie meant by singing "radio ga ga"

Wow, I just missed this song. I'm disappointed I couldn't be part of the frenzy.

...one hundred ten comments in one spin - well played!..



...okay, what's sad is that this song rates higher than joanna newsom's emily, which is a legitimately challenging listen and surely deserving of more exposure...

Rock on, Bill.. I'm here for the variety and if something mainstream works its way in, I'm cool with it.

might as well spin some freaking Faith Hill. I've never heard Lady GaGa until this one played. So, thanks for that.

I gave my son a row for changing the cannel when it was my turn to have the computer. He denied touching iTunes so I said that "they would not be playing Lady Ga Ga on Radio Paradise".

An apology later I can help feeling Bill is taking this eclectic thing a bit to far. Though it is a dam catchy little tune.

Amazing number of comments in 3 minutes!  As I originally said "way to shake things up Bill!"  Fabulous!

AGREED!!  I listen here for the W-I-D-E variety.  Can't please all of the people all of the time...

This comment storm reminds me of when William Shatner's cover of Common People first hit RP.
Good times.

Hey, that live version ain't bad!

just the fun I needed... now on to my new Adam Lambert album now that you got me needing to hear it again!  be back to rp in 30 min

Catchy, ear-bug of a song.  Can't imagine it will be in the playlist for long, but why not for a bit?

 Bill you should do that more often. It made me take a break from my work to check the website to make sure what I was hearing I was really hearing. Very Funny

Is it April Fool's Day already, Bill?
