OK, I admit that I barely knew who Lady Gaga was. So after watching the parody, I watched a Youtube video of her "Bad Romance". I came to three conclusions: the parody had far far lower production values than the original, Lady Gaga's music wasn't as bad as I expected, and Lady Gaga is a genius at self-promotion, on a par with Madonna.
"Freshman Josephine Coburn from UC Berkeley, also known as Lady Gallium, recently won a university competition for her music video Chromosome, which transforms Lady Gaga's lyrics to explain simple genetics (see video above)..."
Eli Rabett, a not quite failed professorial techno-bunny who finally handed in the keys and retired from his wanna be research university. The students continue to be naive but great people and the administrators continue to vary day-to-day between homicidal and delusional without Eli's help. Eli notices from recent political developments that this behavior is not limited to administrators. His colleagues retain their curious inability to see the holes that they dig for themselves. Prof. Rabett is thankful that they, or at least some of them occasionally heeded his pointing out the implications of the various enthusiasms that rattle around the department and school. Ms. Rabett is thankful that Prof. Rabett occasionally heeds her pointing out that he is nuts.

Looking like a trend is developing:
Lady Gaga parody takes on genetics
