For such a declaration of fidelity, "I Only Want to Be with You" is a song that really gets around. It has been recorded shloads of times, including hit versions by Dusty Springfield, the Bay City Rollers, the Tourists, Nicolette Larson, Luis Miguel, and Samantha Fox.
Now, we figure, it's Lady Gaga's turn. Her version, of course, would have to be dramatically different. So we're going Gaga with this parody, which is just like the original - but dramatically different.
"I want your ugly," indeed.

Oh, and the coda is a reference to the icky "Licky."

Great parody!! I laughed and laughed!! (Especially liked the term "tequilabotomy".)

If just one person hears this and thinks it's truly Lady Gaga, our work here will have been so worth it. Please, rumour mongers of the internet. Make it happen.

I wasn't thinking Lady Gaga but the song did remind me of someone. Very cleverly done.

There can never be enough Gaga parodies, she deserves each and every one of them. And dang, hot vocals on this. If Gaga sounded that good, I might actually enjoy her music.
