Merry Christmas little monsters!
A previously unheard Gaga song entitled, “Take Me Out” has surfaced and I have to say, it’s incredibly cute!
Sounding like a mash up between The Talking Head’s “Bringing Down The House” and “Pop Muzik” by M (the 1979 pop culture statement by British musician Robin Scott which is also briefly sampled in the cut), Gaga’s vocals flutter over this 80′s tinged track, packed with an overwhelmingly catchy melody and slightly odd ball lyrics that would make even David Byrne proud.
However, it’s painfully obvious why this demo wasn’t developed further, considering it would have been awkwardly placed within the grittier sounds of Born This Way. If anything, it heralds the days of a “young” Lady Gaga, and maybe would have been a better fit around “The Fame” era.
I must say it is refreshing to hear her a little less serious and more relaxed. Take a listen below!
**EDIT: Upon further investigating, it turns out this track was actually written during The Fame era, explaining it sonically and lyrically. It’s unknown if this song is the song Gaga was planning to release on Christmas. I’m assuming it’s not, considering I was under the impression she was releasing a track recorded on her tour bus during the Born This Way sessions. Apparently more demos are also making their way online as of publication of this post.
