'TELEPHONE' is TEN!!

LADY GAGA'S GLITCH-TASTIC DISCO CLASSIC IS A DECADE OLD!




//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////


Originally, Telephone was featured on 'The Fame Monster', an EP released to celebrate/capitalise on Gaga's chartbusting debut album, The Fame.

The disk also yielded two other enormous hits, Alejandro and Bad Romance. (It was both a standalone release, and also part of a 2CD re-release of the debut album, depending on the territory). 



Such was Gaga's meteoric rise that long-established megastar BeyoncĂ© guested on the song, as well as the grindhouse-style promo video, directed by Jonas Akerlund. The mini-movie is a fun romp that homages the anarchic 90s films of auteurs Quentin Tarantino & Robert Rodriguez, and doesn't mind chopping up the flow of the song that it's designed to promote. It's a typical Akerlund production: sexy, funny, and beautifully shot.
