"Hey hey! Here's a great new song by Lady Gaga"This great new song is neither great, nor new, nor, strictly speaking, a song.
It was written many years ago by a very wealthy fat anonymous Belgian who is extremely grateful for local radio the world over.
It is "performed" - perhaps more appropriately sponsored - by a fame-crazed halfwit who has been lucky enough to bump into some uberpimps who call themselves promoters. Uberpimps realise that they can manipulate the halfwit through hoops.
Backing singers/musicians perform the dirge through an autotuner and dull technicians slap it into radio friendly shape.
Commercial radio stations are paid good money to put it on heavy rotation - uberpimps make their money out of downloads and merchandise.
Exploitative wank - the whole lot of it. And that's our fucking culture.
