So, I've covered "Paparazzi", by Lady Gaga, in what's starting to become a tradition of posting covers on the weekend.
Why "Paparazzi" you ask? Well, it's a great song. Shock, horror, I like it. I consider it this years "Umbrella". There's too much to like about it - It's well written, it has a solid backbone, slightly darker lyrical themes (in this case Gaga is positively stalker-esque), and the chorus it just sooooo catchy. Catchiness alone does not a good song make, but when accompanied by an actually admirably well-written song-structure, a great performance and a charismatic personality behind the same thing (Gaga is like Madonna and Bowie has a love-child and raised it on baby food crack), it's unstoppable.
And like "Umbrella", "Paparazzi" has simple, strong writing at it's core; Marié Digby covered "Umbrella" on her acoustic guitar and rocketed to fame - it helped that she's quite easy to look at... I'm not sure what's happened since though. "Paparazzi" practically sings "COVER ME".
So, with accompanying ludicrous images for a film clip (thank you $2 shop wig!), here is my cover (on behalf of the full Little Bones team).
Just a reminder - add us on Facebook for updates, and details of upcoming concerts, releases etc.
