Video Lust : Lady Gaga's 'Yoü and I'

The Lust List is suddenly a big fan of teal. Lady Gaga's "Yoü and I" is the fourth single from Born This Way and what some call a return to the video style that established the teal-haired Lady Gaga as a musical genius.

The song itself was inspired by Gaga's relationship with rumored on-again-off-again boyfriend Lüc Carl, and the video symbolizes that exact idea of relationships. In the video, Gaga walks from New York City to Nebraska [actual location of the video] to get her boyfriend back. According to Gaga: "I'm walking with no luggage and no nothing and it's just me and my ankles are bleeding a little bit and there's grass stuck in my shoes and I've got this outfit on and it's real sort of New York clothing and I'm sprinting... And the [video is about the] idea that when you're away from someone you love, it's torture," she continued. "I knew I wanted the video to be about me sprinting back and walking hundreds of thousands of miles to get him back."

Lüc Carl does not appear in the video, instead Gaga's love interest is played by herself. Or rather, her alternate male ego "Jo Calderone". Along with Calderone, her other mermaid alter ego, "Yuyi", appears alongside actor Taylor Kinney in what's reffered to as sexual intercourse scenes. But how can a man have sex with a mermaid? Gaga explained that metaphorically it emphasized the fact that sometimes relationships did not work. "No matter what you do, there's this giant boundary between you and someone else. So that's what it's about, perceiving in your imagination that there's something magical inside of you that you can make it work."

Ice cream trucks [which accroding Gaga represent the destruction of her youth], dancing in fetish attire inside a hay barn [and submerged in a tank], torture scenes with a mad scientist, a grey haired Gaga as a bride, and corn field scenes with Queen guitarist Brian May [the song samples the bands "We Will Rock You"] all make up lustable visual delight as only Gaga can do.

Rolling Stone explains, "the best moments of the video put a distinctly Gaga-ish spin on the iconography of Americana and traditional love stories."
