Jack E. Leonard vs Lady Gaga

Still popular, still annoying, Lady Gaga's "Bad Romance" actually has people singing along, even when the lyrics are:

"Rah, rah, ah, ah, ah Roma, roma, ma Gaga, ooh, la, la"

And why not? I can easily go into "Witch Doctor" mode, without the song playing, and sing "Ooo eee, ooo ah ah, ting tang walla walla bing bang, ooo eee, ooo ah ah, ting tang walla walla bing bang!" (And that's from memory. Which I still have.)

Not long ago, some contestant on "America's Got Talent" wowed the crowed with a slow, passionate (he thought) version of "Bad Romance," wriggling his tongue around
"Rah, rah, ah, ah, ah Roma, roma, ma Gaga, ooh, la, la."

As long as there are pop hits, there will be stupid nonsense lyrics. No way to shield yourself from it, even if you turn off your radio and hide under an umbrella-ella-ella. Somebody else's blaring ear-buds, some supermarket's speakers, or some idiot singing out loud, will force you to hear the nonsense.

And that's the subject Jack E. Leonard addressed so long ago. "THAT'S THE WAY THEY SING" was the title of HIS novelty song. So go gaga, and download it, sans any password or having to type in a code. Ah ah, no capcha! Ya ha!
