As Fitting As McQueen

Lady Gaga “Fashion of His Love”

You don’t get a lot of songs like this anymore. As much as people have mined the Eighties for dance pop inspiration, I find that musicians tend to shy away from “I Wanna Dance With Somebody” levels of jubilation, much less mix it up with programming that sounds like something Vince Clarke would come up with on an especially perky day. This may be Gaga’s most gleeful song, and the words match the tone – she’s basically singing about how much she loves a guy, and framing it all in the context of fashion and clothes because, well, she’s very passionate about that too. Boil this down to it essence, and it’s really a song about being excited and inspired.
