Rock Band Weekly: Lady Gaga, Cartman's 'Poker Face'

by Alexander Sliwinski on Mar 9th 2010 12:58PM

Don't even lie! You're just as excited as any club kid that boundary-pushing pop sensation Lady Gaga is coming to Rock Band next week. So, in the privacy of your living room, break out the tight-fitting pleather and get your jam on (to the tracks you, publicly, tell everyone you hate).

Of course, you could pretend you "accidentally" bought the Gaga Track Pack, when you actually meant to purchase South Park chubby charmer Eric Cartman's rendition of "Poker Face." Yup, that lil' ditty will also be available. See, now you can cover up that undeniable desire to go goo-goo for Gaga with a veil of irony!

Check out the full release list after the break.

Wow! is this really happening? i havent bought any tracks in a long time but i might finally get some more points to get cartmans rendition. sweet.

When I saw them playing this song on the episode, I thought he was just making up lyrics to some other song. I've never heard the Lady Gaga version, but the Cartman version will most definitely be stored on my 360 hard drive soon.

and you wonder why you get downvoted

Some people just don't know what irony is...

The irony is that Lady Gaga makes millions by people buying the Cartman song for "lulz".

Newsflash: You can have fun party songs without buying cookie cutter manufactured crap like Gaga.

I'll buy it because I thought it was damn funny. I really don't give a crap if GaGa gets royalties off of it. Her money really isn't my concern.

mywhitenoise,
Newsflash: You can let people have their fun without trying to ruin it by criticizing what they like.

@mywhitenoise - If Lady Gaga wasn't so popular would you still have said that?

@greenpangolin
Nope, no way. But now that she is so popular, and I have to hear her music every time Im in the grocery store, or every 20 minutes because of a co-workers radio station...you can see why I'm a little bitter.

I'd say the same if it were Bruce Springstein. His HUGE fanbase is the worlds greatest mystery.

I got a random roommate at my university dorm who just happened to be extremely gay. That would be fine, but in the middle of the night, when I'm sleeping, he busts out a random Lady Gaga lyric or two in this strange, breathy voice.

You don't know what hell is until you've woken up to the dude laying across from you looking you straight in the eyes in the dead of night, hissing "I wanna take a ride on your disco stick."

True Story

@Ryan T.
Seems pretty obvious he wants you to put your penis in his pooper.

mywhitenoise, you realize that just about every dollar of those millions she makes gets invested right back into her career. Aside from the outfits, she lives a pretty low-key lifestyle and really does everything she does for the sake of art and for her fans.

That's why so many people like her for so much more than just the music.

I really, really, REALLY hate her music and think her style is completely pretention with no real rhyme or underlying reason besides being just plan "weird" and "different".

BUT, given the fact that she allowed the South park guys to use her song on the show the way they did, and release it as DLC on Rock Band makes me slightly less angry every time a carful of Jersey Guidettes drive past my house blasting Disco Stick. But only slightly....

@Ryan T.
It could be worst. He could bust out his "disco stick on" you in the middle on the night only for you to wake up and see the dude laying next to you. D:

I'm really glad to see Harmonix pushing the boundaries of what kinds of music they'll include. And using big name artists to do so even.

I will end up buying one of the "Poker Face" versions...though I'm not sure which would be more fun. And it sounds like there's more coming next week than just this!

And I was so sure that was an obvious joke..

wat

i'm totally gonna buy this because i don't give two sh*ts about whaaales

What about for those of us who listen to good music?

Is there anything for us?

No.

Now back to the cellar with you.

*sighs*

I believe that is who the proposed release of the entire Sub Pop catalogue DLC is for. Though I haven't heard any thing about it since it was first spoken about.

And now the jokes on you, cleric!

@Cleric

He's joking, man. Lighten up.

@Cleric

Were you talking to yourself in the third person?

OK, I have to admit, this is win. Not rust in peace win, but a win nonetheless.

Thank god they got 4 songs by this pop tranny instead of one of the hundreds of actual "Rock Band(s)" that still need to be added into the game. Shouldn't this be in Lips or Singstar or somesuch?

I'm not a fan either, but some people are. Teen girls and trannies play Rock Band now too, whether you like it or not. If you don't like this pack, no one is forcing you to buy it. Be thankful that Harmonix actually puts out weekly DLC almost two and a half years after the first game came out, STFU, and hope for something better next week.

I was with you until the STFU, so FYMASMD.

woot lady gaga is the best thing that happened to pop

thank god they did this

To celebrate, lyrics of the GAGA:

"I wanna hold'em like they do in Texas PLEASE!"

Chavtastic... Do they know Fools' Day is next month?

How about some Old Man's Child, Emperor, Fear Factory, Satyricon..?

Because not everyone likes music based on tiny fan bases, ridiculous names, and the speed of the "metal".

They're in the business of making money. Putting popular people into a gimmick game does that.

Yet they put Cannibal Corpse, Machine Head, Devil Driver, White Chapel, Job for a Cowboy, God Forbid, Slayer, Job For A Cowboy & Behemoth..

Here's the guitar tab for Poker Face.. http://tabslist.com/tabs/lady+gaga/poker+face/
guess if no one has 100% for guitar yet, this is there chance

Man this week sucks

this post is for next week

Sorry. Then: "Man next week will suck"

It's hard to tell it's a joke when more people are defending Lady Gaga being on RB than those who are making fun of it.

Dr. Blight, you mean second person?

@mywhitenoise

It's okay. I still respect ya.
/fist bump

I find myself liking Lady Gaga because my girlfriend listens to her so much. I'll probably download these.

...quit staring at me.

Same here, only put "ex-" in front of "girlfriend."

There, now they're staring at me...

girlfriend ex- ?

In front, not behind.

Behind is better.

Hey, I kind of like Lady Gaga, at least she isn't as bad as all the other pop crap :)

This is why I have all but given up on Rockband... I haven't bought any DLC in almost 9 months. Don't we have enough country music? Now they have to add Lady GaGa?? WTF?!?!? What utter bullshit.

So if they don't put out only music YOU like every week then Rock Band is terrible. They put out Rust In Peace a couple weeks ago go get that or just stfu.

They have to be bluffing..
