I think we were all like "WTF is this song?" when we first heard the first verse and were like "did she just say garden panty? Dafuq?" But then suddenly the build up the chorus appears, and she is SERVING vocals in the "I can't help the way I'm feeling" bridge. Then suddenly the chorus just EXPLODES with that fantastic line "When you touch me I die just a little inside" which is SUCH a pop moment in of itself. Then the whole "galaxy, space and time" just gives it this universally sized feeling. It's such a twist on a love song, because it is at its heart simply that, but it's so wacky, zany and out-there. A real Gaga classic. The naming of the planets is a biT boring, but luckily she spits out the words in an intriguing enough way and I remember just KNOWING something would be going on with uranus, and sure enough "Don't you know my ass is famous!" comes along. Oh I forgot to praise the heavenly "this could be loooOOOOoooOOOOOOOOoooovvveee" bit, obviously pure vocal legendary at work and the slayage couldn't be more.

When I first heard that clip she released of Venus, I thought "WTF is this" and thought it was a joke.
A few more listens when the full version premiered and I LOVED it. That chorus
