judas, btw and edge. the others will fall after the hype of the album dies down around the end of the week

 

 

 

 

As soon as I heard 'Americano', I knew that Lady GaGa had been 'influenced'

by the spoken intro. of the 1954 UK No.1/USA No.10 Hit, 'Mambo Italiano', by

Rosemary Clooney. (See YouTube). Sure enough, she's now said that she

did 'borrow' from that 1950's Song.

 

I think that the last 40 seconds of it sounds like The Dooleys, but others

would probably say ABBA, as The Dooleys were not so well known Globally.

 

I also think that it would be a big Hit for her. She needs one. So far, she's rushed

out 4 Tracks off 'Born This Way', & not only have none of them made No.1, but

only one of them has reached the UK Top 5 - 'Born This Way' - No.3.

^ I'd say Born This Way was a big hit though, despite its chart peak.

 

About ABBA, I felt Alejandro sounded quite ABBA-esque. Although I might only be making this connection because they have a song called Fernando.

 

Americano is at #10 on Mexico iTunes! :o

 

You and I is at #7 on US iTunes though, which is the more important country, so that'll be more likely as the 4th single I think.
