Gaga struts around without make-up, wearing bad math teacher wigs and AK-40’s on her cha-cha’s. Hot guys with bowl cuts prance around in speedos and stilettos. Simply put, I love this freak bitch SO much. Yeah, the video is weird. I can’t help but chuckle at some of the design choices. And I’m endlessly amazed at how Gaga can double the length of a 4 minute song for a music video. But I also totally get where Gaga was going with this video… And for an oppressive cold war-torn world, it certainly looks fun and arousing!
Per Gaga herself, this video has a “homoerotic military theme” and is about the “purity of my friendships with my gay friends, and how I’ve been unable to find that with a straight man in my life. It’s a celebration and an admiration of gay love—it confesses my envy of the courage and bravery they require to be together. In the video I’m pining for the love of my gay friends—but they just don’t want me to be with them.”
