Over on the daily iTunes comedy chart, PTW has still been holding at #3 for both yesterday and today...don't know if that just means the chart's broken or what.

I assume it means the song hasn't done awesomely on the charts yet. Al NEEDS to release that video to get this song some juice.

Have not heard it on either of the two "top 40" stations around here, nor do their online playlists from the last couple of days seem to indicate that they have yet. When the Gaga Saga first started I half-jokingly asked one of them if they could play the song (since they played "You're Pitiful" back when that happened), and the response I got back was that they couldn't because it wasn't officially "released," which I guess makes sense, but whether that station still believes that I don't know.

Back in the day, usually stations were shipped promo CD singles of songs labels wanted them to air, but is that even done anymore? Hasn't that practice gone digital by now, where the program directors just get the songs to play from labels via e-mail?
Cant be 100% about this but I have a friend who is a DJ in Chicago. He is not allowed to play stuff unless it has been officially released to him for that purpose and all the performance rights papers are signed and both/all parties are in agreement

What is the female vocal saying after "Excusez-moi, Qui a pété?"

"Express Yourself".

It's a dig at how much the song sounds like Madonna's song.

Didn't much about it at first, but the song is actually growing on me. Not sure why, but the human jelly bean is the funniest line to me.

That's why underground DJing is so popular.
How old was that last signature? I mean, really?
