Lady Gaga is Gaga for Who?!

Do you remember that song kids would sing in elementary school when two liked each other in

that way and all of the other students were bent on making them feel awkward? It went

something like “Billy and Sally sitting in a tree, K  – I – S – S – I – N – G. First comes love,

then…” I bet you remember now. Well apparently, Billy and Sally have since gone their separateways and have hardly spoken since the fourth grade. Oh, bummer. But the couple “sitting in a

tree” who should be getting attention now is pop star Lady Gaga with international villain and

symbol of Christian scorn Judas Iscariot. Yes, it’s true. Haven’t you heard? They’ve had a crush

on each other for a long time now… or at least the one has on the other. So this is shown in one

of Lady Gaga’s newest hits. From even a quick survey of some of the lyrics, one can easily see

how this could offend upward of two billion people (the global Christian population) and

considering that Jesus is considered a holy prophet in Islam (seriously), I’m surprised that a

 billion Muslims aren’t threatening jihad. Here’s just a peek at what we Christians find so

disgusting:

“I’m just a Holy Fool, oh baby he’s so cruel 

But I’m still in love with Judas, baby 

I’m just a Holy Fool, oh baby he’s so cruel 

But I’m still in love with Judas, baby 

“Oh oh oh ohI’m in love with Judas 

“Oh oh oh oh

I’m in love with Judas 

“Judas! Judaas Judas! Judaas

Judas! Judaas Judas! GAGA

“I couldn’t love a man so purely 

Even prophets forgave his crooked way

I’ve learned love is like a brick you can 

Build a house or sink a dead body” 

The music video includes even more goodies: Judas is a leather-jacketed biker who isaccompanied by the other apostles disguised as bikers. Nothing wrong with a little freedom of 

expression, right? Oh heck there is something wrong! Do you think that the Lady (it pains me to

even call her that) could have gotten away with a song about loving MLK-assassin James Earl

Ray and graphically singing about how the bullet ripped through King’s brain? She would

suffocate under all the letters threatening to sue for “hate crimes.” What if she sang in depth

about loving revolutionary mass murders like Mao or Stalin? Do you think she would be getting

as much attention for a chorus that went “I’m just the Fuhrer’s tool, oh baby he’s so cruel, But

I’m still in love with Adolph, baby”? I’d bet a million deutschmarks that the FCC would be all

over her for hate crimes. Why? Because all of the individuals mentioned here murdered people.

But Judas? Oh, don’t worry about him. He’s practically a good guy… except for that whole“condemned to death the Son of God” thing. Am I the only one who finds this song utterly

insane? Christians should not be afraid to stand up and demand action against blasphemies as

severe as this. Lady Gaga is allowed to sing about loving the Christ-killer on government-

controlled airwaves but the world will end if kids pray to that same Christ in government-

controlled schools? Wasn’t America all about “equal protection under the law”? I guess not… or 

at least not anymore. I’m not saying that the government should ban or censor the song. I’m all

for freedom of expression but this doesn’t mean that I approve of what is being freely expressed.

I’d like to hear your comments on this? If anything, what should be done in response to this

song?
