"It's very inspired by, especially in the beginning,Salvador Dali and Francis Bacon. The surrealist painters. It'sthis story about the birth of this new race, a race that bearsno prejudice and a race that's primary ambition in life is toinspire unity and togetherness.
"It's very symbolic this video. And the visuals arereally stunning and the video is beautiful. It's verymeaningful to me. And the song is very meaningful to me," Gagasaid on UK station Radio 1.
The track has come under criticism in some quartersfor sounding similar to Madonna's early 90s song 'ExpressYourself', but Gaga is happy to admit the 52-year-old pop iconis an influence on her music.
When questioned asked whether the Queen of Pop is aninspiration, Gaga said, "Of course she is, and so were so manyof the artists from the 90s. That era of music was thetransfusion of gospel and pop, R&B and dance music. I wantedto do something that was very risky and that in a lot of wayswas extremely modern."
