Her new song, the cool, disaffected “Government Hooker” provided perfect accompaniment to the event. A more ambitious track than “Born This Way,” it opens with Gaga providing operatic trills over synthesized industrial sounds before segueing into a melismatic, electro-pop Gregorian chant. It then becomes a pulsating, hallucinogenic earworm that drills its way into your cochleae and could just as easily play at a strip club as a Paris catwalk—especially with lyrics like “Put your hands on me, John F. Kennedy/ I’ll make you squeal, baby.” And that chorus, an infectious raver with a killer hook (“I’m gonna drink my tears tonight/I’m gonna drink my tears and cry/‘Cause I know you love me, baby”), is pretty irresistible.
