I am in awe. How that man suffers for his art.

So he is making a Lady Gaga parody video that has a line in it from an 80's Madonna song in it, and he auditions someone who auditioned for an 80s Madonna role earlier in the day. You gotta go with her. Plus she's purty

Well, this is interesting. If he's auditioning for a blonde female, then is that person going to play the part of Lady Gaga in the video? If so, I wonder what Al's onscreen role will be in the video.

That was my first thought when I read that. Another possibility is that the blondes will be the back-up dancers.

Over on the iTunes charts, the song is still #3 in both the U.S. and Canada but has climbed up to #8 in Australia.

Meanwhile, and this is a little more concerning, PTW did not chart on "Billboard's" new "Hot 100" that was posted today (for the week of May 14), nor did it appear on the "Digital Songs" chart that was posted online as well (I don't recall at the moment if the print edition has more than 40 slots). I'm still trying to find a good resource for the "Bubbling Under Hot 100" and the other digital charts.

I'm still in the boat to believe that there is no chance this song is going to be huge unless the video is huge as well...so many other songs out there never get the big attention until they have an accompanying video. I'm glad to see it is at least not falling dramatically on the chart, but I'm not concerned yet until I see how the video fares.

when the video hits, we'll find out how big of a hit the song will be.

The video will come and it will be the greatest video ever produced. No question.

I 100% believe this.
