Lady Gaga New Video: Yoü And I (gets bloodied feet as she walks across America in high heels for love)

Beware of Lady Frankenstein 

Walking across a continent to be reunited with your love certainly sounds like a romantic concept.
But when Lady Gaga is involved there always has to be a twist in the fish-tale.
While the idea behind her latest video seems sweet she made sure she spiced up the visuals by flashing plenty of flesh for the You and I film.

She starts out the video by picking grass out of her bloodied feet, before a montage of images, including her stopping at an ice cream van.
Somehow she manages to make the epic journey in a black ankle length skirt, strapped stilettos and giant metal-rimmed sunglasses.
And at one point she is in a bathtub and takes on the form of a semi-naked mermaid.

Of course the canny singer, real name Stefani Germanotta insists it all makes perfect sense.
She said: 'The premise of the video is that I've walked all the way from New York City to Nebraska to get my boyfriend back.
‘I'm walking with no luggage, it's just me and my ankles are kind of bleeding a little bit and there's grass stuck in my shoes and I've got this outfit on - it's real New York sort of clothing as it's woolly.
‘It's the idea that when you're away from somebody you love it's torture.
That looks fishy: She also finds the time to turn into a mermaid during her trip

‘It's a very powerful and awful and strange feeling when you're away from the person you love.'
Cheeky Gaga leaked the video on her own Youtube page, and it lived up to her usual bizarrely epic standards.
She dons a series of wacky ensembles the singer would claim are works of high fashion.
She dons a scaled tail as Yuyi the semi-nude mermaid, and frolocks with her boyfriend in a galvanized tub.
As her male alter-ego charchter Jo Calderone, she bashes away on the piano in a white T-shirt and black trousers.

The video begins with Gaga walking to Nebraska, picking the grass out of her shoes and her bloodied feet. But we also see her in a wedding gown, in flashbacks
She drops to her knees in front of an ice cream truck, where the frozen treats are served by a scary, toothless man. There is a barn in the distance and we think she’s reached her destination.

She may have walked for miles, but she also dances in a barn, with her wild mane of blue hair. We also see some sort of mechanical Gaga being assembled and injected with some unidentifiable substance.

Pump it up: It is unclear whether she felt the need to have some perfume sprayed in her mouth or if it is more sinister

Scary: It does not look like Gaga's boyfriend is overwhelmed to see her at first

Yuyi is also being watered in her tub by a strapping lad, as she is thrashing and splashing about.
Following on from her latest video is the news she is taking over Santa’s Workshop in the windows of Barneys New York.
A spokesman for the iconic store said: 'For the first time ever, Barneys New York will convert an entire floor of its Madison Avenue flagship for the holiday initiative
'Starting in mid-November, Gaga’s Workshop will be brought to life throughout the fifth floor of the Men’s Store and the store’s iconic Madison Avenue windows.'
Phew: Thankfully the pair soon make up and fall in love all over again

Gaga will also design a range of “exclusive, small gift items” to be sold at the workshop. “In the spirit of the holiday season,” Barneys New York will donate 25 percent of all proceeds from sales to a charity of Gaga’s choice.
Holiday shopping bags will feature a cartoon of Gaga sporting long blue hair and a sparkly, skintight version of Santa’s red suit.
Mark Lee, Barneys New York CEO said: 'Lady Gaga is a rare cultural phenomenon, not only because of her exceptional talents as a singer, songwriter and performer, but also with regard to her support of equality and individuality and status as a fashion icon. 
'As a New York City landmark, we wanted to celebrate Lady Gaga as a fellow New Yorker and amazing talent.'
