Backdrop and promotion

During the US promotion of Lady Gaga's debut album, The Fame, a short video was made by the Haus of Gaga in order to have a third video in the promotion. A full version of the video was used as a backdrop for New Kids on the Block: Live. It was used as the theme in the performance. The video features Gaga with her straight, blonde wig, and a star over her right eye. She is wearing regular black sunglasses with glitter falling around. Stars move as a tunnel and three cherries fall onto the screen at the beginning like a slot machine.

A short clip of the video was used in the US promotion commercial for The Fame.

Lyrics

[Lady Gaga]:
Groove. Slam. Work it back. Filter that. Baby bump that track.
Groove. Slam. Work it back. Filter that. Baby bump that track.
Groove. Slam. Work it back. Space Cowboy just play that track.

Rollin’ up to the club on the weekend.
Stylin’ out to the beat that you’re freakin'.
Fantasize I’m the track that you’re tweakin'.
Blow my heart up.
Put your hands on my waist, pull the fader,
Run it back with original flavor,
Cue me up I’m the 12 on your table, I’m so starstruck.

[Lady Gaga]:

Would you make me number one on your playlist?
Got your Dre headphones with the leftside on,
Wanna scratch me back and fourth back and fourth? Uh huh

Put your hands on my waist pull the fader.
Run it back with original flavor.
Get the breakdown first,
Up until the chorus,
To the verse.
Re-ke-re-ke-Reverse.

[Flo Rida]:
Hey lil' mamma like really, really is that him.
I done seen you before what you got on them big rims.
Enter that cash flow, I’m like baby you don’t trip.
So shawty say hand over your signature right here,
Like adjust the dotted line and I suppose to sign.
How she at it, a fanatic and I think it’s goin’ down.
She so starstruck, the gal all stuck,
I should have had an overdose too many Starbucks.

Ain’t never seen a balla, paper that stack taller.
Notice who let the top back on the Chevy Impala,
Hummers and all that fully loaded with two spoilers.
What did you call that when you showed up with two dollars?
But that’s another chapter, son of a bachelor.
All on me, just spotted a baby actor.
Complete swagga, they go the dagger,
Got what she wants, shawty happily ever after.

[Lady Gaga]:

Baby cause you blow my heart up.
