Riff: Lady Gaga – “Venus”

Oct 30, 2013

Neptune/Go/Now serve Pluto/Saturn/Jupiter/Mercury, Venus – uh ha!/Uranus!/Don’t you know my ass is famous?/Mars/Now serve for the gods/Earth, serve for the stars!

from Venus lyrics by Lady Gaga

This EDM space-sex metaphor is somewhat pleasant for the flamboyant clubgoer, but it’s not exactly memorable, save for Gaga’s butt boasts. At least she can joke about her objectification. Otherwise, “Venus” just lists planets and somewhat sexual sounding items with a semi-catchy melody; [LISTEN].
