US pop star Lady Gaga has taken on a track known best to Aussies as
the opening theme to the iconic comedy series Kath & Kim.
The song, originally written by Leslie Bricusse and Anthony
Newley for the 1964 stage musical The Roar Of The Greasepaint - The Smell Of The Crowd,
is performed by Gaga for her film Joker: Folie à Deux.
To most Australians, it is the bold and brassy version sung by
Gina Riley, who also plays Kimberly Diane 'Kim' Craig (née
Day) in the legendary comedy.
Before being immortalised in to the fabric of Australian pop culture, thanks to Gina's rendition, the song had
been covered by the likes of Shirley Bassey in 1968 and Sammy Davis Jr in 1965.
And now, the Born This Way hitmaker has taken a stab at the track -
with the results markedly different to the brassy feel of the Kath & Kim version.
Gaga's take, which also features on her new
album Harlequin, is a much more stripped back that
builds to a crescendo thanks to rocking guitars.
Speaking to Today Extra about the track, Kath & Kim star Peter Rowsthorn joked that he was 'constantly' hounded
by the US pop star regarding the track.
'She's constantly calling me, so I know she's a big fan,' Pete, who play's Kim's
on-again-off-again husband Brett in the series, said.

'I said to Gaga, "If you want to do it, it's up to you. I'm the fifth banana in this thing".'
Peter went on to mention that he did have a favourite between the two
renditions.
'I believe the Gina Riley version, or the "Kim" version, is the better version.'
The Today Show posted a short clip featuring
the Gaga's version over the Kath and Kim title sequence to Instagram and
viewers were quick to issue their shock at the surprising cover version.

While some were quick to point out Shirley Bassey's famous
version, one fan said the song would always belong to Kath and Kim.
'Who cares about Shirley it's iconic because it's the Kath and Kim
theme song,' they wrote.
'I cannot take Gaga seriously with this song hahahaha.'
Another did not hold back in their criticism of the
Poke Face singer with: 'Totally sucks. Another flop of an album from Gaga.
She'll probably ruin joker sequel too.'

that the songstress is at risk of losing her acting career.
