I wanna hold 'em like they do in Texas, please
Fold 'em, let 'em, hit me, raise it, baby, stay with me (I love it)
Love game intuition play the cards with spades to start
And after he's been hooked I'll play the one that's on his heart Oh, oh, oh, oh, ohhhh, oh-oh-e-oh-oh-oh
I'll get him hot, show him what I've got
Oh, oh, oh, oh, ohhhh, oh-oh-e-oh-oh-oh,
I'll get him hot, show him what I've got

Can't read my,
Can't read my
No he can't read my poker face
(she's got me like nobody)
Can't read my
Can't read my
No he can't read my poker face
(she's got me like nobody) P-p-p-poker face,
p-p-poker face
(Mum mum mum mah)
P-p-p-poker face,
p-p-poker face
(Mum mum mum mah) I wanna roll with him a hard pair we will be
A little gambling is fun when you're with me (I love it)
Russian Roulette is not the same without a gun
And baby when it's love if its not rough it isn't fun, fun Oh, oh, oh, oh, ohhhh, oh-oh-e-oh-oh-oh
I'll get him hot, show him what I've got
Oh, oh, oh, oh, ohhhh, oh-oh-e-oh-oh-oh,
I'll get him hot, show him what I've got

P-p-p-poker face, p-p-poker face (Mum mum mum mah)
P-p-p-poker face, p-p-poker face (Mum mum mum mah)
(Mum mum mum mah) (Mum mum mum mah) I won't tell you that I love you
Kiss or hug you
Cause I'm bluffin' with my muffin
I'm not lying, I'm just stunnin'
with my love-glue-gunning
Just like a chick in the casino
Take your bank before I pay you out
I promise this, promise this
Check this hand cause I'm marvelous

P-p-p-poker face, p-p-poker face (Mum mum mum mah)
P-p-p-poker face, p-p-poker face (Mum mum mum mah)

Ah sometimes it's interesting to wallow in the "5s" and lower.
Do the leftover cuties get a death cab as well, or do they have to take the bus?

I actually really dig the original but just did not like the remix as much :D

Funny
I know i said this on here a few years ago, but i can't resist doing it again --

"You can't rent, you can't rent, my pokey flat"
i thank you ... 
Had me turning the volume up, fun remix for a quirky mood moment

I deem this applicable...

to me it is rather easy to improve on the original. She's a decent writer, at times, but I'm not very impressed with her other talents.
Best cover of something she's done.
Pizza and cuties are always better the next day....

Be nice if she did then.
Lady Gaga - PLEASE!
Yes I know everyone hates pop. Well almost everyone. I love this song done by The Lady, and I see how people like this version. I'm thinking they butchered it.
A most interesting and tasty cover!
Yes Bill, please more lady Gaga on Radio Paradise !

It's as if Dr Demento made a house call. But if you're going to cover Lady Gaga, this is how ti do it.  And she is probably laughing her butt off hearing this.
 
More likely dancing her butt off, but yes!
I was in Las Vegas at the Cosmo Chandelier Bar one night, and these guys were playing, they are from LA, they are amazing live!!! I had never heard of of them, and like a year later they are on RP...cool Bill & Rebecca😁🎶
A soft head-banger.
Not sure if I like this or not.  Never heard it (or them) before.  But it fits with what's played here, and that's why I tune in.  Thanks BillG.
And then there was this, and I think hmmm... and the magical mystery  tour continues.

Better than Lady Gaga but still just so so....
I'm sticking with a 6 on this simply b/c of BillG's outro which made me laugh...Classic Lada Gaga tune...LOL...Long Live RP!!

Can't sort thru them right now, but one of these was really good, actually made me respect her talent.  https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q=gaga+acoustic+poker+face
This band is wonderful live. They play regularly out here on the West side of LA.
have to agree with this

C'mon Bill, play the original.  You're the one that turned me onto Lady Gaga and I loved watching the comment page fill up.

Nice cover. Classy voice.
Cheap drivel  {#Eek}
Interesting cover.  Starting to like these guys.  Good sound.

As to the lady who wrote it, I actually find her pretty good.  If you can see past the costumes and what not she actually is a fairly talented musician.  World class, probably not but not very many good musicians are.

This, this is the right attitude...
Very interesting !

Don't like. It's complete schlok and novelty and not even in a good ironic way. Covering a huge pop hit in an obscure genre isn't clever, it's a desperate attempt at getting attention and it's been done so, so, so many times. Try harder.
Ugh. Please make it stop.
I've gotta say I admire the eclectic nature of presenting a Lady Gaga cover tune here.  It's why I come to RP, to hear not only stuff I like but stuff I would never in my right mind set out to listen to....which I suppose betrays a fundamental self-imposed limitation?  So RP....it keeps me open and expansive to musical possibilities without presumption.  I like that, even if I'm a bit meh about this tune.  Keep it up!

Blech!!!!

Thanks for keeping it eclectic.
Been watching this band over the years around LA. They are such a blast live. 

Nice work Radio Paradise!

Your Deathcab's here, lady.

I thought "cutesy" described it very well before your edit.
But Cartman would be interesting.  ;-) 
Cool  cover, but a little too tame.  Really  prefer Gaga's acoustic version of the original.

It's amusing to see how many Lady Gaga fans also listen to RP. I had to google it just to find out who/what they all were talking about.
At least we don't have to listen to the original.
nah. 
Bizarre.  Not unlikeable.
This is the kind of stuff you do that makes me love RP, Bill. {#Jump}
No amount of re-arranging can make me enjoy this song. 
Lots of songs with zero or few comments these days.  I suppose Bill is opening up the playlist .... and kudos if that's the case!
