LADY GAGA - TELEPHONE
Featuring Beyoncé
Hello, Hello, Baby
You Called, I Can't Hear A Thing
I Have Got No Service

Wha-Wha-What Did You Say?
Oh, You're Breaking Up On Me
Sorry, I Cannot Hear You
I'm Kinda Busy
K-Kinda Busy
K-Kinda Busy
Sorry, I Cannot Hear You, I'm Kinda Busy
Just A Second
It's My Favorite Song They're Gonna Play
And I Cannot Text You With A Drink In My Hand, Eh
You Should've Made Some Plans With Me
You Knew That I Was Free
And Now You Wont Stop Calling Me
I'm Kinda Busy
Stop Callin', Stop Callin'
I Don't Wanna Think Anymore
I Left My Head And My Heart On The Dance Floor
Stop Callin', Stop Callin'
I Don't Wanna Talk Anymore

And You're Not Gonna Reach My Telephone
Can Call All You Want But There's No One Home

Out In The Club And I'm Sippin' That Bub

I Should've Left My Phone At Home
'Cuz This Is A Disaster
Callin' Like A Collector
Sorry, I Cannot Answer
Not That I Don't Like You
I'm Just At A Party
And I Am Sick And Tired Of My Phone R-Ringing
Sometimes I Feel Like
I Live In Grand Central Station
But Tonight I'm Not Takin' No Calls
'Cuz I'll Be Dancin' (Dance)

SONG FACTS
Writer(s): Stefani Germanotta, Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins, LaShawn Daniels, Lazonate Franklin, Beyoncé Knowles
Producer(s): Darkchild, Lady Gaga
In This Song The Protagonist Is Being Harassed By Her Lover On The Phone When She's Trying To Dance In A Club. "Stop Callin' - I Don't Wanna Think Any More," She Tells Him. "I Left My Head And Heart On The Dance Floor."
The Song Features BeyoncÉ, Who Returned The Favor To Gaga After The Dance Queen Guested On The Former Destiny's Child Singer's "Video Phone." The Two Superstars First Met At The 2009 Billboard Women In Music Event, At Which BeyoncÉ Won The Award For Woman Of The Year And Lady Gaga, Rising Star.
Lady Gaga Wrote "Telephone" For Britney Spears, Who Demoed It For Her Sixth Album, Circus, But Ended Up Not Using It. Gaga Then Tried To Record It As A Duet With Spears, But That Didn't Pan Out So She Dialed Up BeyoncÉ To Be Her Duet Partner.
Gaga Told Mtv News That This Song Is About Her "Fear Of Suffocation." She Explained: "Something That I Have Or Fear Is Never Being Able To Enjoy Myself. 'Cause I Love My Work So Much, I Find It Really Hard To Go Out And Have A Good Time."
"Telephone" Was One Of The Most Popular Songs Of 2010 And The Most-Played Track On Spotify That Year. It Was Released In November 2009 On Lady Gaga's Album "The Fame Monster" (The Most-Played Album On Spotify In 2010), But Wasn't Released As A Single Until January 2010, Which Is When The Video Appeared. The Song Reached Its Chart Peak Of #3 In America That April.
This Was The Third Time BeyoncÉ Charted As A Guest Artist On Someone Else's Record. Her First Billing Was On Jay-Z's "'03 Bonnie And Clyde" In 2002 And She Subsequently Recorded A Duet With Alicia Keys, "Put It In A Love Song" Around The Same Time As "Telephone."
The Infamous Pussy Wagon From Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill Vol. 1 Reappears As Gaga And BeyoncÉ'S Getaway Mobile In The Video. Gaga Explained To E! News: "We Were Having Lunch One Day In Los Angeles And I Was Telling Him About My Concept For The Video And He Said, 'You Gotta Use The Pussy Wagon!.'"
In The Video The Date On The Prison Security Cameras (February 11, 2010) Is The Same Date That The Late British Fashioner Designer Alexander Mcqueen's Body Was Discovered In His London Home. When Gaga Performed This Song At The Brit Awards, Shortly After Mcqueen's Death Was Announced She Told The Crowd, "This Is For Alexander Mcqueen." The Stage Was Decked Out In White, And Perched On A Pedestal Was A Statue Of Gaga Wearing The Mcqueen Lobster-Claw Heels She Wore In Her "Bad Romance" Video.
The Actor Tyrese Gibson Plays BeyoncÉ'S Boyfriend In The Video.
Gaga Told Ryan Seacrest About The Coca-Cola Cans She Wears In Her Hair In The Video. "My Mom Used To Do That When I Was A Kid," She Explained. "'Cause If We Didn't Have Any Rollers In The House, She'd Slice Up Some Coke Cans And Then She'd Heat Them Up And Pin Them In Her Hair."
The Song's Climb To #1 On The Uk Singles Chart Coincided With "The Fame" Returning To The Top Of The Album Tally For The Third Time. Gaga Had Preciously Managed The Same Achievement In April 2009 And This Meant She Became The Second Solo Female To Simultaneously Top The Uk Singles And Albums Chart On More Than Once Occasion. Madonna Is The Other Solo Female Artist To Do So.
The Song Was Lady Gaga's Fourth Uk #1 Single In A Little Over 14 Months, The Only Other Solo Female Artist To Have Topped The Charts Four Times In A Shorter Period Was Madonna Who Managed A Quartet Of Chart-Toppers In 12 And A Half Months Between July 1986 And July 1987.
Gaga Sang Part Of This Song When She Played Halftime Of The 2017 Super Bowl Between The New England Patriots And Atlanta Falcons. The Game Was Held In BeyoncÉ'S Hometown Of Houston, But Bey, Who Had Recently Announced She Was Pregnant With Twins, Didn't Join Her. There Is No Doubt She Would Have Been Welcome, As She Appeared The Previous Year And Headlined In 2013.
