Lady Gaga & South Park Heading to Rock Band Next Week
Written Tuesday, March 09, 2010 By Dan Webb

Is it Friday? No? Someone might want to tell Harmonix that, who decided to announce next week's Rock Band DLC today. We don't mind early announcements, but we're creatures of habit.

Regardless, today Harmonix and MTV Games today announced that next week's Rock Band DLC will consist of a four pack from the love-her-or-hate-her Lady Gaga as well as a special version of Poker Face, as performed by Eric Cartman himself - made famous in the Whale Whores episode.

Lady Gaga Tracks Available Next Week:
Bad Romance
Just Dance
Monster
Poker Face

Also:
Poker Face by Eric Cartman

Price:
160 Microsoft Points for Xbox 360 per track
560 Microsoft Points for Xbox 360 for “Lady Gaga Pack 01”
 
As a refresher...

Another episode of SP where they poke fun at whatever's currently part of the popular zeitgeist? Oh fucking dear.

Anyway, GaGa is awesome. Hope the drums are good. Doubt they will be.

Cartman is awesome, but music games with guitar peripherals that dont actually have any rock music on them suck.

Pop Hero and Pop Band, and then you have Band Hero, what is this world and its awful manufactured music taste come to!

I can see a Dido track pack coming out pretty soon, and I'm sure that would be a sign that the world is ending xD

Meh.. Never a fan of South Park, and I can't stand Lady Gaga. This is a BIG pass for me.

WTF is this, How is lady gaga going to be remotely enjoyable to listen to let alone play on any instrument?

Gezz, I doesn't even downloaded the Stripes pack and hockey theme for this week (they're queued) and they already announce next week songs.

Anyway, maybe I'll give a try to cartman's song.

Is the Cartman version going to be that short little bit, or is he going to sing the whole song?

lol the southpark Poker Face for sure. too bad they don't have the Christopher Walken version.

Tuesday, March 09, 2010 @ 01:02:40 PM

Cartman's version is waaaay better than the original, imo.

Comment #17 by Atroxx70
Tuesday, March 09, 2010 @ 01:03:04 PM

This is motherfucking epic. Only Cartman could make a Lady Gaga song cool. I got a few extra points and I'll definitely be grabbing that one.

Comment #18 by Acid Mother
Tuesday, March 09, 2010 @ 01:04:23 PM

Give me Testament's Formation of Damnation as an album download, otherwise I'm not buying anything else off of the RB store.

If anyone actually downloads Lady Gaga's songs, you are a complete TOOL, and that's a life-long branding. She is a corporate whore and by purchasing those songs not only do you agree on putting dollars in her pockets you're also giving money to her by doing the laziest thing possible. Do any of you have any idea how easy it is to make a track for RB? Sure there's a lot of trial and error with the timing of the notes, but the actual audio-editing portion of making one is pathetically easy.

It's Rock Band, Harmonix. Not drum-n-bass-with-white-Beyonce Band.

Tuesday, March 09, 2010 @ 01:06:27 PM

who's to say you cant have fun playing RB ? i think the cartman angle is funny. But why would Lady Gaga be in "Rock Band" when she is pop / RnB ?

Comment #25 by mjc0961
Tuesday, March 09, 2010 @ 01:26:52 PM

The best thing about Cartman singing Poker Face is that I can actually understand the words to the song now!

... Which instantly wears off when I realize that the lyrics are absolutely fucking horrid, and I liked it better when the only part that came through as English was "p-p-p-p-p-p-poker face".

Can we send Lady Gaga back to whatever alien planet she came from now?

Sounds good, my wife and I play Lego Rock Band together, and she and I will love this.

IMO Lady GaGa is awesome.

Comment #30 by GuitarGuruXXX
Tuesday, March 09, 2010 @ 01:43:50 PM

I'm not a fan of her music but her songs are so damn infectious. I''ll look at the drum charts to make a final decision.

I'd rather this over the country packs anyday though.

Tuesday, March 09, 2010 @ 01:53:55 PM

If the tracks were live, it would be more rock oriented.

Tuesday, March 09, 2010 @ 01:55:57 PM

Lady Gag AH! is a parasite and now infecting music video games that are solely about 4 instruments. The end is nigh.

Comment #34 by Elit3 m0nkey
Tuesday, March 09, 2010 @ 01:57:15 PM

Must be hard getting rock music (and by that I mean REAL music) if they are putting Lady Gaga in RB. There are two problems with this, 1; she (and her music) suck and 2; it isn't rock.

Comment #35 by Piculiar
Tuesday, March 09, 2010 @ 01:58:44 PM

I just died. Harmonix can now consider themselves boycotted,
and the only way they could ever lift that is by releasing A LOT of Tool and Porcupine Tree DLC.

Don't you love how Lady Gaga treads the truly imaginary line between innovative fashion and shitty fashion?

Comment #38 by Stewie
Tuesday, March 09, 2010 @ 02:02:41 PM

If I still had RB2, I would have bought Cartman's version of Poker Face. It's the second best version of the song behind Christopher Walken's spoken word version.

Wow, everyone bitching and complaining about this is pathetic.

Specially #18, YOUR the tool for writing that long and pathetic rant.

I'll pick this up, my girlfriend likes Lady Gaga so it means I can play RB with her.

Quit bitching and whining, this is nice DLC for people who like to play the game with their other half. Idiots.

...Harmonix...what are you thinking?...Lady GaGa?...I...AHHHHHH!!!!!...seriously Lady GaGa sucks. It's one thing to have Hayley Williams appear as herself in Guitar Hero World Tour (one of the worst things I have ever seen in gaming), but this?...Harmonix you have really dropped the ball now

The Cartman version was fun though

Just Dance was one of the coolest songs I ever heard in the past few years. All her other songs hurt my ears though. She needs to focus less on goofy outfits and more on recreating what put her on the map, otherwise she's going to drop off the radar when people get tired of the shock value and gimmicky lyrics.

poke her face

these sort of game are gash anyway, for the price you pay for a shitty little plastic guitar and a very gay game you could find yourself a real guitar and instead of wasting time whoring afew gamerscore off of what is basically repeatedly listening to corporate manufacted pop acts actually learn to play a musical instrument (dont even get me started on "dj hero")

Comment #74 by RavenZeta
Tuesday, March 09, 2010 @ 06:28:31 PM

Wow. No one is happy with music games. Either it's "Join a real band," or "Your taste in music sucks," or "I'm not going to be taken seriously as an air-guitar equal if music I'm not interested in is available for others to download and I will boycott blahblahblah".

Calm your chops. Eric Cartman's version is pretty hilarious. South Park Studios has been swamped with people asking for the ring tone/mp3 for months, and I'm super surprised they were cool enough to go this distance for their fans again. Kudos!

Comment #90 by HyperChondriacMusic
Wednesday, March 10, 2010 @ 02:00:03 AM

@25 lady gaga is from Cygnus 5, if we get enough m80s and shove them in that hole where the noise comes out of, we can blast it back to where it came from.

@2 thats what south park do to EVERYTHING. everything is fair game. and its called topical humour.

on the SP Cartman version, i thought it was brilliant, still wouldn't make me buy RB, the real things better than 5 plastic buttons, acoustic RB anybody?

#18 you're a tool! i do think it is very gendy that she is gonna be on rock band as i like my metal to stay metal, and guilty pleasures to stay away from that but none the less i think i'll buy it :0D! Cartman neither here nor there really, would also like to see "uncle f*cker" on rock band but becoz of the explicit lyrics & the fact that this game is aimed at the pre-pubescent market it will only be muted! I can't count how many of my fave tracks have been ruined by them getting rid of explicit lyrics!

Some people in this world are just hilariously bigoted:

@whomever in these comments this relates to:
"Damn company that I like releases something that I don't like, in a world where I can make my own choices, so now I'm not going to like that company at all."

(this also applies to all those dumbf**ks that don't like their favorite bands once they "sellout" or, in other words, try to make a living.)

Am I the only one with the problem with the gameplay? Who's playing the other guitar...kitty?

They so need more South Park on Rock Band.
