Last night a snippet of Gaga's song "Venus" was eh, leaked.
The song is heavily referencing a song by jazz artist Sun Ra by using the lyrics:
Take me to your planet
Take me to your leader
Take me to your Venus
Rocket #9
Take off to the planet
(To the planet)
Venus
Aphrodite lady seashell bikini
(Garden panty)
Venus
Lady Gaga used the lyrics, added some EDM and voila! You have her song Venus. She didn't sample Sun Ra's voice. It's her voice singing his lyrics. Except there's one little problem. French EDM duo Zombie Zombie already did this and Gaga's song sounds a lot like theirs. Check it out.
Zombie Zombie knows about this and they aren't very happy with Lady Sticky Fingers at all. Check out their Facebook page. To be fair, the Venus snippet is very short so let's see how this plays out when we hear the full track. Either way, Gaga once again managed to take someone else's work to pass off as her own. She can't even sample a song without stepping on the toes of another. Has there ever been any other in the history of music that has been accused of stealing and copying more than Lady Gaga? She can't release one song without it being linked to another. Whether the similarities are striking or subtle, they are always there, following her like a little, black rain cloud. At this pace, she'll be breaking records in no time. Oh wait, she already has; for the fastest dropping single on iTunes. DWUW is No.12 and it only took several hours to get there from No.3. I think this is what they call Karma.
