I don't know as though I have intentionally played this song on its own ever before today. I didn't need to. It is pervasive (much like the insulation now in my lungs).

I blame G mostly, who loves the song enough to learn the dance (shown in the diner dancing scene). She hurt her knee in the process, so she had "Telephone Knee" as we called it. Then after spending copious time on the actual phone, her elbow hurt, so she had "Telephone Elbow". Every minor cut or scrape was "Telephone Something". I think she had "Telephone Foot" for a day.

It is all very funny to me because for months G resisted liking Lady Gaga but now loves her. As I said before, "Approve or disapprove, original or not, good or bad there is something entertaining and bizarre, appealing and repulsive about Lady Gaga." Love her or hate her, Lady Gaga is here to stay.

If you want the song, without the story line or the Pussy Wagon (Kill Bill!), here you go:

For those who love her or hate her, and have seen the "Telephone" video, this parody by barelydigital.com is a hoot!

I totally cracked at "Rub-a-dub-dub three nuns in a tub, and they're doing it with a garden gnome". And if you're wondering about the "lotion in the basket" reference, you need to listen to this.

And for those who also want to develop a case of "telephone knee"…

I think I'll pass though.
