Lady Gaga's "Yoü And I" and how blatantly pandering it is.
I mean I actually like Lady Gaga but it's just such a transparent attempt at appealing to the South that I'd think any Southerner listening would just actually be offended by it. Lyrics like "There's only three men that I've been serving my whole life - My daddy, Nebraska, and Jesus Christ" just sound like they're bordering on parody. Because nobody quite understands the struggles of the American heartland quite like a rich upper-middle class girl from New York.
Also, Nebraska is not a person.

None of this should come as a surprise.
The drawl is annoying, yes.
You couldn't just pick one adjective?
Isn't it be clear that Gaga's primary motivation isn't taste, but getting attention and money?
I don't want to seem difficult, but I think you can understand my skepticism here.
And my point was that you could have been more clear by saying just rich or upper-middle class. As it is, I'm not sure what you meant. I don't think a member of the middle class is generally considered rich from the community's perspective.
People
you do realize there's a quote block button just besides your "Numbered list" button in your editor
right?
I actually had NoScript turned on, so it just gives you a default text box, so no, I was not aware.
Ah, got it.
you can always use HTML mark up, I think.
Yeah no.
Can't you at least hit enter?
It doesn't save line breaks on the mobile/NoScript version.
And this is why the mobile site must be burned and then rebuilt from the ashes
And because burning things is nice, too.

And why would a reference to Nebraska appeal to the Deep South? Isn't Nebraska in the Mid-West? Maybe Gaga is revealing her deep love for Bruce Springsteen's later work.
Spinal Tap's actors are actually American, though
Actually, the entire song is a send-up/homage to country-fied rock/pop songs, especially those of the 80s, which makes sense when you look at the other blatant 80s influences on the album. She does make mention of the fact that she's from New York (followed by a Bruce Springsteen reference) and the point of the song is that rural life in Nebraska has changed her and she's become more wild and free because of it.

Well many people oftentimes conflate the rural areas of America as being one and the same, ignoring other cultural differences. I suppose they have a lot in common, but honestly there are rural areas in every state so there's not much connection.
How the hell are you supposed to pronounce "Yoü"?
Yo-UUUUUUUUUU like the call of the great black banshee of the moors
@Juan: >implying I care about Spinal Tap
One day, hellblazer won't hold the answer to something. and that's the day when we all die.
New goal: stump Hellblazer. Whatever the hell that is.
Comic about John Constantine, supernatural confidence man.
Only one of the greatest comics of all time. Which later became a shitty movie.
Think Devil May Cry if Dante wasn't a total faggot.
And if you replaced his sword and gun with razor sharp wit and insane Batman ploys.

Oh man, remember when Garth Ennis knew how to write?
