"Government Hooker" is a song by American singer 女神卡卡 from her second studio album, Born This Way (2011). She co-wrote and co-produced the song with Fernando Garibay and DJ White Shadow, with additional production from DJ Snake. "Government Hooker" was previously an unused track that Shadow created with DJ Snake. Recording sessions took place in 2010 at the Studio at the Palms in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The song is a synthpop track incorporating influences from many electronic subgenres including 鐵克諾、trance, post-disco, and industrial. Its themes relate to female sexual empowerment, expressed as a metaphor for the supposed relationship between actress Marilyn Monroe and United States president John F. Kennedy. Critics appreciated the song's risqué and dark nature, as well as its music. Although never released as a single, "Government Hooker" charted in South Korea and the United States, where it peaked at number sixteen on the Hot Dance/Electronic Digital Songs.
背景
編輯《娼妓政治學》由卡卡、費爾南多·加瑞貝和DJ白影合力創作完成，其錄音於2010年在美國內華達州拉斯維加斯進行。[1]歌曲原本是DJ白影和DJ蛇爺的一個舊的錄音作品。白影在與文森特·赫伯特交談之後將歌曲的節奏加快了。相對於錄音時聽到其它歌曲的拍子，赫伯特非常喜歡這首歌曲的樣本。卡卡在首次聽到歌曲的節拍之後不久就創作了歌曲的歌詞。在創作過程中，由於白影認為保鏢彼得·范·德·維恩的發音有著顯著的荷蘭口音，因此維恩被征來演唱經電腦處理的人聲部分。[2]
詞曲
編輯
《娼妓政治學》是一首快節奏的[3]流行電音，[4]包含出神、[5]鐵克諾、[6]後迪斯可[7]和工業的元素。[8]《洛杉磯時報》的Randall Roberts認為歌曲致敬了德國電子組合發電廠樂團，並指出歌曲有著「奇異的卡西歐電子琴氛圍下的電路擾動」。[7] To Evan Sawdey of PopMatters, the song contained amalgamated elements of Britney Spears' "Gimme More" (2007) and the New Order song "Blue Monday" (1983).[9] According to the music sheet published by Sony/ATV Music Publishing on Musicnotes.com, "Government Hooker" is written in the time signature of common time, with a moderate tempo of 120 beats per minute. It is composed in the key of F♯ minor. Gaga's voice spans the tonal nodes of F♯3 to C♯5. The song has a basic sequence of D–F♯m–D–F♯m during the verses, B–D–A–E during the bridge and Bm–F♯m–Bm–F♯m during the chorus, as its chord progression.[10] The song primarily explores themes of female sexual empowerment.[5][9]
《娼妓政治學》以卡卡歌劇式的演唱開頭，並以工業合成器伴奏。begins as Gaga sings in an operatic fashion—backed by industrial synthesizers—and transcends into an electro-pop Gregorian chant.[11][12] The song then progresses into the chorus: "I can be good / I can be sex / I can be anything / I can be everything / I can be mom."[9] A male vocalist accompanies the singer's lyrics, "Unless you want to be man / Unless you want to hold hands / Unless you want to be dad".[9] After Gaga sings "I'm gonna drink my tears and cry / 'cos I know you love me baby" during the techno-inspired bridge,[9][13] she alludes to the alleged affair between Marilyn Monroe and John F. Kennedy with the lyrics "Put your hands on me / John F. Kennedy / I'll make you squeal baby", singing in an impassive and monotonous manner.[13]
反響
編輯
《娼妓政治學》發行後獲得了樂評的好評。《洛杉磯時報》的Randall Roberts認為歌曲的力度變化一反《天生完美》中歌曲的特性。[7]《華盛頓郵報》的Chris Richards表示歌曲是專輯的亮點，並評論道：「《幸福邊界》讓《娼妓政治學》這種歌曲看起來比實際更加黑暗。」[14]《Spin》的Caryn Ganz則稱卡卡古怪而異常的人格，即所謂的瘋狂地性暗示，在《娼妓政治學》這首「骯髒而黑暗的迪斯可」中表現得淋漓盡致。[15]《娛樂周刊》的Christian Blauvelt則描述稱歌曲的副歌「就像一個具感染力的銳舞者，而疊句則像一名殺手，相當讓人無法抗拒。」[12]
《偏鋒雜誌》的Sal Cinquemani認為歌曲「骯髒」，[16]而MTV的Jocelyn Vena則稱歌曲是一首「盛大的夜店歌曲」。[5]《滾石》的記者Jody Rosen感覺歌曲「淫穢」，其製作卻讓人著迷，嗡嗡、嗶嗶和咔嗒的節拍聲如變形術般組合到了一起。[6]新音樂快遞的Dan Martin寫道，《娼妓政治學》不同於專輯其它歌曲的裝模作樣，並認為歌曲超越了「幽閉恐懼症般的」鐵克諾節拍，「無拘無束的同時有著工業風格的一面，相當地瘋狂。」[8]《告示牌》的Kerri Mason指出，歌曲有著「歌劇般的演唱、最少的鐵克諾嗶嗶節拍、參考自JFK的風格以及對把自我看成誘人的產品之矛盾定義」。[17]BBC音樂的Ian Wade認為，歌曲陰森詭異的歌劇式開頭為「卡西歐電子琴式的節拍」所替代。[18]Sawdey讚揚了歌曲性主題的歌詞，並表示歌曲副歌的性轉是自殺手樂團的《Somebody Told Me》以來做得最好的。[9]
雖然《娼妓政治學》並未發行為單曲，但歌曲進入了兩個國家的榜單。在韓國，歌曲以13,976份銷量空降Gaon單曲榜第15名。[19]而在美國，歌曲空降《告示牌》舞曲/電音數位歌曲榜第16名。[20]
現場表演與媒體使用
編輯2011年3月2日，卡卡在巴黎的一個時裝秀首次公開表演了這首歌曲。[21]此外，在由柯林頓基金會舉辦的《十年大不同》慶典中，卡卡在洛杉磯好萊塢露天劇場也現場表演了該歌曲。[22][23]《娼妓政治學》是第3場領銜巡演天生完美狂歡舞會的表演曲目之一。巡演中，在一曲簡短的幕間之後，卡卡出現在城堡的一扇門前，並走下台階，準備和自己的一個伴舞行房事。在歌曲分解聯奏段，卡卡從抽屜里拿出一把手槍，射向伴舞。接著，卡卡再次唱起歌曲的副歌，對觀眾喊道「歡迎來到天生完美狂歡舞會」，並將城堡的大門射開。[24]
歌曲曾出現在2011年8月18日播出的2011年MTV音樂錄影帶大獎一個宣傳影片中。[25]
