Musical Performance

Gaga's first musical performance was "Paparazzi", which featured two female back-up dancers. The version that was performed, is a remix that was reworked by Fernando Garibay. During the second musical segment, Gaga is seen sporting The Orbit outfit as she performed a band rendition of "LoveGame", while standing on a revolving platform. She then moved to a piano and debuted a short acoustic version of "Bad Romance". To end the performance, she sang a New York inspired rendition of "Poker Face".

"Poker Face" (New York Ode)

Born in New York, in Lenox Hill of '86
Cheered for the Yankees with my dad in Section 6
And after traveling, just dancing round the world
I still prefer a beer and whiskey with my friends on Rivington street

Oh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I'll get him hot, show him what I've got
Oh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I'll get him hot, show him what I've got

Can't read my
Can't read my
No he can't read my poker face
(He's got me like nobody)
Can't read my
Can't read my
No he can't read my poker face
(He's got me like nobody)

P-p-p-poker face, p-p-poker face
Ah, ah
P-p-p-poker face, p-p-poker face

P-p-p-poker face, p-p-poker face
P-p-p-poker face, p-p-poker face

I miss every little thing about the city
Subway trains
The girls are pretty
Love the hot dogs on 72nd street
They're tasty and they're cheap
Was just a waitress on Cornelia
Now I'm living my dreams baby, oh
Singing about my Poker Face
New York
It's Saturday night

Bubble Dress Love

Ready to go to the afterparty, Andy Samberg is embarrassed to discover that he's dressed in the same set of clear balloons as Lady Gaga.

Lady Gaga, wearing an extravagant outfit of clear balloons, reads a copy of “Rolling Stone” with her on the cover, leaning against a desk. A STUDIO PAGE is seated right behind her.
Lady Gaga: Cute.
ANDY SAMBERG, strolls in, wearing a similar outfit made of balloons. He approaches the page.
Andy Samberg: Hey Fred, did that fruit come in?
Page: Yeah, I’ll go get it.
The page departs. Andy exhales as he saunters over to Gaga. He scans her outfit.
Andy Samberg: Oh no.
Both view their outfits.
Lady Gaga: No way.
Andy Samberg: This is weird.
Lady Gaga: I can’t believe it! I spent $20,000 on this dress.
Andy Samberg: Yeah! And I made this out of garbage.
Both nervously laugh
Both: FASHION!
Andy Samberg: Well, I guess I’ll go change.
Lady Gaga: No, wait. Andy, I think it looks really great good on you.
Andy Samberg: Really?
Lady Gaga: Really.
Andy Samberg: I guess great minds do think alike.
Both turn and face the ground. ROMANTIC MUSIC cues in. A lighted backdrop of red stars forms behind both of them.
Lady Gaga: Kiss me, Andy.
Both plunge towards one another to lock lips. The outer mass of the balloons prevents them from kissing. Both struggle to meet at the lips. Both pull back.
Andy Samberg: We can’t do this.
Lady Gaga: Why? Are you married?
Andy Samberg: No. I mean I can’t do this. I physically can’t reach you.
Lady Gaga: Prove it.
Both launch onto each other, still unable able to kiss. They struggle for a moment or two, and then pull back.
Andy Samberg: Damn it, Gaga! Just marry me.
Lady Gaga: Fine. Under one condition…
Andy Samberg: Anything.
Lady Gaga: I want a divorce.
Andy Samberg: You cagey son-of-a-bitch!
Gaga gasps and slaps Andy. Both try to make out, but fail.
The CAMERA PANS over to KRISTEN WIIG and LORNE MICHAELS watching the events unfold.
Kristen Wiig: I guess I got to find something else to wear to the party.
Lorne Michaels: Yeah… me too.
Kristen and Lorne glance onto Lorne’s necktie. It’s covered in miniature clear balloons.

Cheap Applause Monologue

Gaga looks lovely in a sparkly dress and Marilyn Monroe esque hair. Her monlogue slowly morphs into a “Chicago” style performance of "Applause". The humor comes from her "gratuitous" attempts at audience applause ("Give it up for teachers!"), which subsequently morphs into "New York, New York".

Kimye Talk Show

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West interview an employee of the Apple store, a nerdy Gaga. Kanye quickly takes exception to the Apple employee’s “genius” title, proclaiming that he and Kim are the true geniuses. While most of the humor in the skit came from the Kim/Kanye lines, the nerdy employee noted at one point that “people who try too hard with their outfits are maybe hiding something.”

Worst Cover Songs Of All Time

Adam Duritz from Counting Crows pitching an album called “WHAAAT.” Gaga sings "Born This Way", which was confused for Madonna's "Express Yourself".

Blockbuster

Old Lady Gaga

Fast forward to 2063, to the point when 77 year old Gaga is kind of a washed up mess trying to impress the maintenance guy who has never heard of Lady Gaga. She tries to perform some of her old hits to spark his recognition of her. He remembers "Born This Way" but only as a jingle. He apologizes for not recognizes her but explains that he’s more into classic rock (like One Direction).
