Bad Romance is a funny song sung by Lady gaga.

Lady Gaga - “Bad Romance” Buy at amazon

The video is directed by Francis Lawrence (born 1970)

Here's the lyrics.

Oh, caught in a bad romance
Oh, caught in a bad romance

Rah, rah, ah, ah, ah
Roma, roma, ma
Gaga, ooh, la, la
Want your bad romance

I want your ugly, I want your disease
I want your everything as long as it's free
I want your love
Love, love, love, I want your love

I want your drama, the touch of your hand
I want your leather studded kiss in the sand
I want your love
Love, love, love, I want your love

You know that I want you
And you know that I need you
I want it bad, bad romance

I want your love, and I want your revenge
You and me could write a bad romance
I want your love, and all your lovers's revenge
You and me could write a bad romance

… caught in bad romance

I want your horror, I want your design
'Cause you're a criminal as long as you're mine
I want your love
Love, love, love, I want your love

I want your psycho, your vertigo shtick
Want you in my rear window baby, when you're sick

You know that I want you
And you know that I need you
('Cause I'm a freak bit', baby)
I want it bad, bad romance

Walk, walk, fashion, baby
Work it, move that thing, crazy
Walk, walk, fashion, baby
Work it, move that thing, crazy

Walk, walk, fashion, baby
Work it, move that thing, crazy
Walk, walk, passion, baby
Work it, I'm a freak bit', baby

I want your love, and I want your revenge
I want your love, I don't wanna be friends
J'ai ton amour et je veux ton revenge
J'ai ton amour, I don't wanna be friends

No, I don't wanna be friends
(Oh, caught in a bad romance)
I don't wanna be friends

The song is not bad, but the music video is quite interesting. It uses zombie-love as motif, combined in a sleek, circus-like high-tech high-fashion setting. It applauds the sick, psycho, diseased, the insane, the bad -- all due to the power that is love.

I'm sure, this zombie dance must have had some inspiration from Michael Jackson's Thriller.

This song, of its callous style, reminds me of Eurythmics's I Need A Man.
