今日聞いていたラジオで、Queenの1984年の歌の曲名「Radio Ga Ga」が「Lady Gaga」 の名前の由来だと知りました。一瞬、日本人の苦手なLとRの違いが原因？かと思ってしまいましたが、下記の記事によると近からずとも遠からずの様です。

【Queen「Radio Ga ga」歌詞】
I'd sit alone and watch your light
My only friend through teenage nights
And everything I had to know
I heard it on my radio
You gave them all those old time stars
Through wars of worlds invaded by Mars
You made 'em laugh you made 'em cry
You made us feel like we could fly.
(Radio)
So don't become some background noise
A backdrop for the girls and boys
Who just don't know or just don't care
And just complain when you're not there
You had your time, you had the power
You've yet to have your finest hour
Radio.(Radio)
All we hear is Radio ga ga
Radio goo goo
Radio ga ga
All we hear is Radio ga ga
Radio blah blah
Radio what's new?
Radio, someone still loves you!
We watch the shows we watch the stars
On videos for hours and hours
We hardly need to use our ears
How music changes through the years.
Let's hope you never leave old friend
Like all good things on you we depend
So stick around cos we might miss you
When we grow tired of all this visual
You had your time, you had the power
You've yet to have your finest hour
Radio.(Radio)
All we hear is Radio ga ga
Radio goo goo
Radio ga ga
All we hear is Radio ga ga
Radio goo goo
Radio ga ga
All we hear is Radio ga ga
Radio blah blah
Radio what's new?
Someone still loves you!
You had your time, you had the power
You've yet to have your finest hour
Radio.(Radio)
