Yay... country pop. So here is a half humorous, half serious explanation to Lady Gaga's latest video, "You and I." For whatever reason, there is an umlaut over the "u." That makes it silly, but whatever.

Okay so she's walking, she's been walking a long way from how her feet look. She arrives at an ice cream truck but she doesn't like vanilla. She wanted chocolate. Vanilla is all they sell because that's what everyone else likes (the ice cream truck is labeled "Follow the Crowd.") They like white and pure ice cream. Purity.

Gaga was once white and pure, like a pretty girl who played with dolls...but then she got married. She managed to escape her insane marriage, and her on the run is where where the MV starts. So after her escape, not only did the ice cream man tell her "no vanilla," he taunted her with her lost innocence by waving a doll at her. This made her experience flashbacks.

I didn't pay much attention to the MV until after I bought their album. Now that the song is familiar to me, I can focus on the video. A lot of what I think here was prolly influenced by Simon and Martina, since I watched their "Kpop music mondays" episode about it.
