Lady Gaga
Lady Gaga‘s present for her little monsters has arrived a little early, and no one is complaining. She planned to gift fans with a previously unheard song from ‘Born This Way’ on Christmas — and it’s already online. It’s called ‘Take You Out’ and it’s an upbeat, uptempo, super cute song that reminds us of ’70s-era New York City pop rock, thanks to the sax. It’s a stark contrast to much of ‘Born This Way,’ simply because it’s so much lighter and airier.
Clocking in at under three minutes, it’s a fun and fluffy little romp. That’s not to suggest that there is no depth to ‘Take You Out.’ It’s just less intense and lightens the mood, and that’s why we’re crushing on it, just like Gaga is crushing on the person she’s singing about!
When Gaga sings, “I still believe it / And you know we won’t be defeated / In my heart I believe it / Yeah, you and me are gonna win it, baby / I’m going take you out / Take you out / Take you out / We’re going to show this town / What I know we’re about,” you can just imagine her strutting down a deserted street, with her hands on her hips, in the East Village with a crew of dancers behind her, grooving in sync with her.
With further goofy lyrics –- what’s “Shoot it / Run it / What’s it called / Everybody loves it / Football” all about other than being a silly part that’s a hoot to sing along to? — and the infectious backbeat, it’s a positive little ode to love and the hope that a romance will “go the distance.”
‘Take You Out’ is another gem from the Mother Monster that shows a ’70s influences we’ve not yet heard from her. If they make a third ‘Sex and the City’ film, ‘Take You Out’ should be used in the opening montage if there’s any justice in this world!
