"   It&amp;#039;s no secret Lady Gaga&amp;#039;s kind of the queen of pastiche; she&amp;#039;s described herself as a student of music, and even her stage name comes from one of Queen&amp;#039;s best songs, &amp;quot;Radio Gaga.&amp;quot; So it&amp;#039;s no surprise that we find our minds reeling as we watch Gaga&amp;#039;s latest video, &amp;quot;Born this Way,&amp;quot; which went live online this very morning. Reeling with: 1. The anticipation of this video premiere was practically at old-school-Michael Jackson levels. 2. The opening is clearly a nod to Star Wars, as is the good vs. evil talk, but is the skeleton couple like a nod to Beetlejuice? 3. This sounds almost exactly like Madonna&amp;#039;s &amp;quot;Express Yourself.&amp;quot; 4. The skeleton couple&amp;#039;s tuxes also echo Paula Abdul&amp;#039;s &amp;quot;Opposites Attract,&amp;quot; if only faintly. 5. The pink triangle, which is an internationally recognized symbol of gay pride, may or may not have anything to do with the rest of Gaga&amp;#039;s video. While the chorus &amp;quot;born this way&amp;quot; certainly seems to suggest a related message, the rest of the general writhing-in-underwear design seems born of the same general approach to most music videos.
