By Diana B. Goode
Sometimes when I’m driving home in the wee hours of the morning, I play something suitably obnoxious to keep myself alert. Scanning local radio stations the other night, I came across something akin to the sound of a CD skipping (my most hated noise): another song by Lady Gaga.
She has two songs?
I assumed that apart from “Let’s Dance”–Gaga’s song about losing one’s pants and feeling the urge to…uhh…dance–the rest of her album was filled with the sounds of meowing cats.
This new-to-me song is called “Poker Face” which has something to do with the game perhaps. Frankly, I’m surprised that she has a song with “poker” in the lyrics since it’s harder to rhyme than say “dance” and “pants.”
When I think of Lady Gaga, Darth Vader comes to mind.
First is the obvious comparison: she must be evil. Second, I picture her as a shell; I imagine a blonde, fringed exterior, but within is a cat–a scarred cat–meowing to the beat of a CD scratching.

“poker” rhymes with “poke her” and “choke her”. Is that what the songs about?
