Poker Face

Lady Gaga

Album The Fame

Bisexuality is the main idea behind this song the song’s lyrics feature various sexual innuendos! It was a tribute by Gaga to her rock and roll boyfriends. During a birthday concert at Palm Springs Convention Center, Gaga talked about the meaning behind this song to an enthusiastic crowd mostly made up of gay men, she suggested that it is about her personal experience with bisexuality and about being with a man but fantasizing about a woman; hence, the man must read her “Poker Face” to understand what is going through her mind. In an interview with the Daily Star, Gaga said: “It’s about a lot of different things. I gamble but I’ve also dated a lot of guys who are really into sex and booze and gambling, so I wanted to write a record my boyfriends would like too.” In another interview with Rolling Stone magazine, Gaga was asked about the meaning of the line “bluffin’ with my muffin”, she explained: “Obviously, it’s my pussy’s poker face! I took that line from another song I wrote but never released, called ‘Blueberry Kisses.’ It was about a girl singing to her boyfriend about how she wants him to go down on her, and I used the lyric. {singing} ‘Blueberry kisses, the muffin man misses them kisses’.” Gaga went on explaining more about ‘Poker face’ to Fashionista101, she explained that the song is about her playing with guys as if she was a poker player. She said: “The song speaks in reference to the poker game, ‘Texas Hold Em.’ So I said, ‘I wanna hold him like they do in Texas, please.’ So its basically saying like, I wanna hold that guy – I wanna be close to him.” Producer RedOne wrote this song with Gaga, In an interview with Billboard Magazine, the Moroccan helmsman said that him and Gaga clicked as soon as they started working together, he said: “It happens so quick, we know each other, we’re good musically. We’re not over thinking. We just do what we feel right. Before you know it the song is pretty much done. I’m not saying that is the way it should be, but in this case that’s what happened, we wrote ‘Just Dance’ in one hour. Done. ‘Poker Face’? One hour. It just happened. Magic.”

    While seeing the classic music video named,: Poker Face by singer Lady Gaga I was memorized by the start where she is with two color Black and White, Great Dane Dog Breed that were identical. The Great Dane is a German breed of domestic dog known for it’s large size. The Great Dane combines, in it’s regal appearance, strength, and elegance with great size and a powerful, well formed, smoothly muscled body. Since both adult dogs are grown-up in age and maturity. They both are well adjusted and happy pets. The two dogs were placed sitting near a large architectures custom white Manchen. Lady Gaga looks so good in a costumed, stylished hair do, amazing dancers, and great schene. She as a adult has the right beat, which combines to good dance music, and very uptempo.
