Cartman, Lady GaGa Sing Pokerface in Rock Band

1:50 PM - March 9, 2010 - By Jane McEntegart - Source : Tom's Guide US

Harmonix and MTV today announced that Lady GaGa will be making her Rock Band debut next week. Nice and all but Lady GaGa+RockBand doesn't exactly equal breaking news. So what would make her debut breaking news? Oh, just Cartman.

Seriously, this is happening. Harmonix said, "… a four pack of songs from pop sensation Lady Gaga, as well as a special Lady Gaga cover by Comedy Central’s South Park's own Eric Cartman."

For those of you who have no idea what we're getting so worked up about, check out the clip below. Feel free to tune out at about 1:15 as the video transitions into the dance remix of Poker Face around then.

I've also included a clip of Christopher Walken reading the lyrics to Poker Face out loud, just because I can. You can thank me later!

The Lady GaGa and Cartman tracks will be available next week.

These clips are awesome. They should have Cartman singing the whole song, so I can play it on my car stereo.

Ha i seen the episode with that in the other day, i loved it so much i was tempted to download the video, rip the music, and put it on my mp3 to confuse my friends when they're playing the real version.

Newsflash, although lady gaga is very popular she actually isn't a bad musician.

Before she was "lady gaga"

I always thought she was very talented but I definitely think all the costumes and huge stage productions take away from her performances. Your link proves that she can kill it with just a mic and a piano so why does she bother?

At first I also thought that Lady Gaga was a one hit wonder with that Poker Face. I've changed my mind now though, the girl is unique, and definitely didn't get where she's at now by accident. One of the rare pop "icons" who's actually an artist and makes herself stand out from the crowd.

The reading by Christopher Walken was awesome btw, I'd not seen that before.

Great, great clip, Jane. Congrats!
I have to say, you've got me hooked now ... I need more .... I want (no, not want, crave!) a clip featuring Jeremy Irons reciting "I kissed a girl" :D

Writing about lady gaga, rockband, and posting two youtube videos is your best post?? You're proud to say that?



I was kidding, lighten up!

Wait a second, Cartman's mother was a hermaphrodite... coincidence?

Just wishing you'd stop treating tom's hardware like your own personal blog or facebook page sometimes. I'm not saying the videos aren't great to watch, but pasting videos that you think are cool or are vaguely related to the article you wrote about comes off as annoying to the people who came to this site looking for something more serious and informative. By the way, lady gaga on rockband is a super weak article to write about in the first place. I get it, you want to inject your own personality into your posts but sometimes it goes too far.



Considering your posting here, you had some interest in the story. The title was pretty striaght forward to what was going to be posted. Also seeing how others have responded in joy, the post was far from meaningless. Please stop the hate :)

i'm puzzled, perhaps you can straighten me out here. why would someone who is in here to look for "something more serious and informative" click on the link to "Cartman, Lady GaGa Sing Pokerface in Rock Band" in the first place?

They need to release a full version of every song Cartman sings, and on karaoke. Seriously, you guys! That would be so cool!

Because she makes more money this way?
She is an excellent musician. I just love her face, but screw the costumes. Though I do like the white wig. -_-
She's probably the only pop artist I listen to. Back to Ozzy, Disturbed, and Johnny Cash for me.

Thanks for the vids, they helped make my night.

Ok, so I don't really keep up on pop music. In fact, this is the first lady gaga song I've ever heard and the first video obviously. Do people seriously listen to this? I can't express in socially acceptable words how much it sucks. The song is just plain terrible, and the video made it even worse.

I could never get enough of Christopher Walken though.

The idea behind her elaborate costumes gets her more notice. Not to mention its her personality, so she runs with it. Im 90% sure if she did plain-jane performances, she would be ignored so the likes of talentless musicians like Ke$ha would get all radio play. Gaga has stage presence to get people involved, instead of just corporate backing plastering her face all over the place hoping she makes money off of one hit.
