Forget Auto-Tune, the biggest thing in modern Pop music is Nano-technology. Rumor has it* that for the song Just Dance, Lady Gaga teamed up with the late Steve Jobs to put tiny Pop-Bots™ to work. They can travel directly from your iPhone through the headphone wires into your brain. Yes, this song LITERALLY gets stuck in your head.

If you can tolerate the brain invasion, this is really a creative dance tune. The chord progressions add an odd melancholy to this feel-good tune about bleary-eyed club-hoppers. On top of that is the homage to that 1980s Techno sound in the interlude. Some of the lyrics are clever, some a little awkward. But the words aren't really the point to this one, are they?



*or I made it up just now.
