Lady Gaga whips her hair

Lady Gaga has released another promotional single in anticipation for Born This Way's release next week.

"Hair" is a straight-ahead dance track that again sounds like an updated 80's track, complete with yet another saxaphone riff and a little drum fill that reminds me of Pat Benetar's "We Belong"

The song continues in the vein of celebrating your self and independence, with lyrics that uses hair as a metaphor for being free. Before you roll your eyes all the way, Gaga has explained that she feels that way because growing up and going to Catholic school, where a uniform was mandatory, she would express her style with crazy hairdos, much to her parents' dismay. And to this day, she continues to express her uniqueness through her wigs.

So, I guess the metaphor makes sense.

It is a bit cheesy, but not as cheesy as "Born This Way". And, cheesy or not, I know girls and gays a like will start flipping their hair all around when this song comes on in a club.
