The title acronym, which stands for Girl Under You, is, at best, pointless. This is a love song from Lady Gaga to a guy she wants to mount and fuck her, but the pun, which refers to her as a “guy”, makes no sense. As far as casual listeners, unaware of the conceptual specifics, are concerned, she wants to be a male. Past penis rumors suggest that might actually be the case.
She sounds like a female though. Unfortunately her voice is never laid atop any pleasurable melodies. The chorus, sang over bombastic synth sounds, is ironically weak. Despite what’s promised on the starting monologue, the song doesn’t offer anything particularly “new” or “exciting”, unless, of course, you happen to be Lady Gaga or the gentleman she’s singing to.
