This theme makes an appearance near the end of "The Artist" (2011). It took me a moment to recognize it but the closing credits list Bernard Herrman's "Love theme".
Always nice to hear Bernard Herrmann's composition. To hear my original song tribute, "Here's To Alfred Hitchcock," click on my name below, then hit "videos" when you get to the site. Or just enter "Here's To Alfred Hitchcock" in the YouTube search box.
No one wrote ominous music like Bernard Herrmann: this one, Psycho, Cape Fear and remember in Pulp Fiction when Daryl Hannah dressed as a nurse walks down the hospital corridor? That's Herrmann's theme music too.
i can proudly say that i found out about this song through lady gaga! does it really matter where people found out about this song? how is finding this song through her disrespectful? seriously these hipsters r ridiculous. it doesn't make you any better just because you have found this song through its original movie.
@videofreakboy91 I will respect you more when you spell out "are" and capitalize your letters. And, for the record, I happen to be a fan of Lady Gaga. This is not an attack on her, this is an attack on your typing.
Anyone else notice this in "The Artist" by Michel Hazanavicius? Thought it worked well though it was a bit jarring at first, had to resist the urge to yell "Herrmann!" in the theatre.
Always great to hear the "Vertigo" music--some of it used in the recent flick "The Artist." Check out my original song "Here's To Alfred Hitchcock" here on YouTube. Just click on my name below.
LOVE the soundtrack for this movie,...and its a classic flick. If you get a chance though, check out the music for "Marnie" (another Hitchcock thriller)....granted
Marnie wasn't as good a film,....but the soundtrack is every bit as good!
@Scrotetasticular So by your logic I can say that Hitchcock is a 'ripoff merchant' for using the score in Vertigo; actually, that's fair enough - everyone is ripping off someone else. Seriously, originality you speak of does not exist, maybe with an exception of abstract art. However, I can't see why you and many other bashers make such a big deal out of it, and go so far to hate a person who's working hard at her craft and inspires thousands of people... it's not like she's drowning puppies...
@BigFatSpoiler You know, Lady Gaga's music isn't horrendous, but it's WAY overrated. People praise her music for being catchy and they praise her on stage for looking pretty. Fact is, pretty much anyone can write catchy tunes and dress flashy. She's not a horrible artist, but to blindly praise her as a goddess is just stupid.
I don't really have a problem with it most of the time, unless I'm at a social even where everyone's gushing over what an incredible artist she is. That's just annoying.
@ShadowACS Well, you don't see artists rise to that kind of success every day; I think it takes more than that - just listen to her playing her songs at the piano, anyone can't do that :P
And I don't know what social events you're attending, all I hear is how much people hate her for no reason.
@BigFatSpoiler "For no reason?" The reason people hate her is because there's a group of people who blindly worship her and tell everyone they should like her. Her music isn't awful, but it's FAR from great.
And if you think it takes more than looking good and using catchy tunes...look at Justin Bieber.
@ShadowACS Oh that's just unfair comparing Gaga to her... Gaga's writing her own stuff and has SIGNIFICANTLY more input into her performance pieces, at least...
But I agree, it's entirely her fault that she has fans, how dare she... how dare she infect young mind with thoughts about equality and self-acceptance; one can only imagine what horrible things those ideas are doing to people :D
@DeadlyGecko101 even though those are by different composers. This is my favorite of Bernard Herrmanns work. And Taxi Driver. Theyre both so atmospheric.
If you like Hermann, you should check out the soundtrack for 'The Machinist' starring Christian Bale, the music is played in the same style as Hermann, composed by Roque Baños, he seems to invoke the spirit of Hermann..........!
It's a sad commentary about our culturally illiterate and impoverished times, that these two monuments - Bernard Hermann music and Hitchcock's film - are important to so many imbeciles because... Lady gaga used them!!!
@anematollahy Lady Gaga does not even come close to anything good in a comparison to Bernard Herrmann. All Lady Gaga does is disguise the mediocrity of her music by being strange and weird. Gaga isn't a genius, she's a fake.
You think you're cool by hating on artists? You think hate is cool?
Let people fucking like what they like and stop being a nark.
This song is cool whether or not lady gaga sampled it.
The whole point of putting this as a pre-lude to born this way was to popularize a piece of obscure music that was really good, in other words, she obviously likes the same stuff as you do.
@ZFO3 hipster or not, he has a point. If Lady Gaga's fans do not acknowledge that she "borrows" stuff from other artists, then they're serious freaking morons. Whether her music is good or not is a matter of opinion, but that she uses other people's stuff is a fact, and her fans need to acknowledge that whether they love her or not.
True, but she has personally acknowledged the wellsprings of her inspiration many, many times - Freddie Mercury, David Bowie (well, really all '80s glam rock), Madonna, and Fritz Lang. I don't believe she's ever personally acknowledged Hitchcock, but that's likely because she didn't exactly try to hide it in BTW.
I think the main reason her fan base doesn't yield to giving such credit is because the overwhelming majority of her fans might not be well enough aware of them.
@hedonism13 The fact that her fans aren't aware of them is exactly the issue. They will think that Lady Gaga was the one creating the stuff that she had no part in creating. Also, even if you acknowledge that you stole something, that doesn't mean you created it. Frankly, I think her music is really bad, but that's a matter of opinion, as I said. What matters is that if she doesn't come out and say that she takes tunes from other songs, then she's basically a con artist.
Pfft. Everything's a slight variation of a copy of a copy of a copy anyway. That's why we inveted the phrase "drew inspiration from", to avoid turning classics to plagarism. And she doesn't take tunes from other songs. I'll take you up on that.
@hedonism13 I have to say though, Gaga is in musical terms rather less original than her fans tend to concede. She is directly in the tradition of pop music that started with Madonna (speaking very broadly) and which hasn't changed much since the late 90s. Her music is rather simplistic and her lyrics facile (quite surprisingly so). The issue isn't that her music is derivative, it's that her fans claim a level of originality which isn't really there.
I disagree, but I see where you're coming from - her singles are typically the only songs people will ever hear of hers, which is a shame, because she has some more obscure titles (Brown Eyes, Summer Boy, Red & Blue) that are of a very high quality and definitely original. Edge of Glory is a definite rip off of Express Yourself though, and given that the majority of her fan base are teenage girls, I don't think that will be widely acknowldged for a while.
@ShadowACS Honestly, I wouldn't call it stealing when most people aren't original anyway. But yeah, I see where you're coming from, she is inspired by other artists that came before her and she's very open about that. But I also find it kinda low that other people feed offer fame. Like all those law suits that came out of nowhere when she released her new album, and how Madonna just barely decided to break silence about Born This Way, just in time for her new album to come out.
@ShadowACS But I also think you gotta give the girl some credit for having 3 jobs to sustain herself before getting signed to Interscope, and to live through being disowned by your father, and being dropped from Def Jam. You also gotta give her credit for working with big names such as Elton John, Sting, Tony Bennett, just to name a few. Her covers of Someone To Watch Over Me and The Lady Is A Tramp aren't that bad either. Her lyrics are average but her charisma on stage is amazing.
@TheRawr80 None of the stuff you mentioned has anything to do with whether her music is good or bad.
And whether an artist looks pretty live has nothing to do with the quality of their music. Lady Gaga, if you ask me, relies on catchy beats and looking flashy on stage to sell her music. Virtually anyone can write a catchy tune, and music and visuals are separate things, especially for pop artists. But that's just my opinion.
And her art (music, music videos, regular videos) is really very good - she takes inspiration from others and from there just takes flight. She really is a breath of fresh air in contemporary mainstream music.
Can someone explain to me what Lady gaga has to do with Vertigo?... I don't listen to her so i don't get the commotion going on with her here... Please and thank you
@16Mstef well, considering she makes references to Alfred in Bad Romance (I want your PSYCHO, your VERTIGO stick, want your in my REAR WINDOW...) and then she used this score as the beginning of Born This Way...
@MikeTheMaster01 im guessin u liwten to justin beiber, i think its sad that people know about this theme from lady gaga, and not the alfred hitchcock theme, im a fool tat thinks pop artist ar an outrage? U dont even know me u cunt
Dont even mention lady gaga on a page like this, to do so is pure disrespect to hitchcock films, how sad society has become :( im only 16 and i feel this strong about this
@TheDylanvarrow lol your a fool that thinks all pop artists are an outrage, but gaga is very culturally diverse and a brilliant woman who admitedly finds inspiration in a lot of old artists, films and bands. She is not some video hoe there is meaning and symbolism in everything she does.
Now I'm no genius, but perhaps, just perhaps, Lady GaGa put this in her video because she thinks it's an amazing piece of music. I dunno though, I'm probably wrong...
Herrmann won one oscar. Hitchcock won none. Neither were even nominated for Vertigo. I can't think of a more compelling argument for dismissing the oscars as rubbish. Oh wait, forgot about Titanic.
@EndlessLaymon Nah, I'm not trying to be cool. Tons of people (who ARE trying to be cool) think they're 'sophisticated filmgoers' if they bash movies like Titanic; the whole "I'm too intellectual to like this mainstream movie and people will judge me if I do" syndrome. A classic case of mob mentality. If not liking Titanic is your actual, legitimate opinion, great. Go for it. But I think it's good. That's not 'cause I'm trying to be cool. It means my opinion isn't influenced by other people.
@EndlessLaymon Saying a movie is 'shit' implies it has no redeeming qualities. Titanic has many great qualities, some of which are undeniable. But yeah, go ahead and dislike it if that's what you really think (not being sarcastic). But don't bash me for liking it ;). And I agree, Psycho is amazing. So is Vertigo. Pretty much everything Hitchcock does is amazing.
@EndlessLaymon Hahaha well you can't tell that kinda thing through the internet, can you? :). no worries man. I was kinda looking forward to arguing with someone on youtube though. it's always fun lolol.
i love lady gaga, i knew this movie before born this way video and i think the song it's NOT dumb, i think it's dumb to talk that about a song only because it had this theme on its video clip.
Two top comments: Look at these fucking hipsters. It doesn't matter if people found this song BEFORE Born This Way thourhg the movie or AFTER Lady Gaga through her video, only thing that matters is the music and the greatness of it. Geez.
@Chaperture Hey I didn't find this through Lady Gaga or through the movie, but from a work of experimental theater that took place in a warehouse. I am the most hipster of them all!
@TheZerozeroone Wow, thank you. I really appreciate the comment. Actually, I really like the Gaga, but I am fully aware that she was not that "created" this song. I think people have to be informed first, then criticize. :)
In this world many people who lack real talent try to take what others do to get all of the adoration. Stefani Germanotta (her real name) will never own this song, Bernard Herrmann does.
Why whine about that? Just tell your friend who the original composer is and recommend them to watch the film. One of the best ever made. The best composers will always be inspirations for any artist, no matter their talents. I know very little of Lady Bitch though
@bunnyfeet123 O_O That's not true. Nobody thinks she made this song. It's just the background music for her manifesto. Why do you think this is not included in the actual recording? Because it is not part of her song.
Even if Born This Way did or did not send people here, a new generation of people who probably would be exposed to the brilliance of Herrmann now get to. Hopefully they delve deeper into his genius. If not, too bad. If so, awesome, right?
This theme makes an appearance near the end of "The Artist" (2011). It took me a moment to recognize it but the closing credits list Bernard Herrman's "Love theme".

An awesome motion picture and an equally awesome musical score to accompany it. Brilliant.

Now I'm no genius, but perhaps, just perhaps, Lady GaGa put this in her video because she thinks it's an amazing piece of music. I dunno though, I'm probably wrong...

Herrmann won one oscar. Hitchcock won none. Neither were even nominated for Vertigo. I can't think of a more compelling argument for dismissing the oscars as rubbish. Oh wait, forgot about Titanic.

@EndlessLaymon Nah, I'm not trying to be cool. Tons of people (who ARE trying to be cool) think they're 'sophisticated filmgoers' if they bash movies like Titanic; the whole "I'm too intellectual to like this mainstream movie and people will judge me if I do" syndrome. A classic case of mob mentality. If not liking Titanic is your actual, legitimate opinion, great. Go for it. But I think it's good. That's not 'cause I'm trying to be cool. It means my opinion isn't influenced by other people.
neonoir77 5 months ago
@EndlessLaymon Saying a movie is 'shit' implies it has no redeeming qualities. Titanic has many great qualities, some of which are undeniable. But yeah, go ahead and dislike it if that's what you really think (not being sarcastic). But don't bash me for liking it ;). And I agree, Psycho is amazing. So is Vertigo. Pretty much everything Hitchcock does is amazing.

Herrmanns' haunting score is a LARGE part of Vertigo's success.
"The Good, the Bad, & Ugly" wouldn't be the same w/o Ennio Morricone either.
When great film is married to equally great music- you have something unforgettable.

In this world many people who lack real talent try to take what others do to get all of the adoration. Stefani Germanotta (her real name) will never own this song, Bernard Herrmann does.

Why whine about that? Just tell your friend who the original composer is and recommend them to watch the film. One of the best ever made. The best composers will always be inspirations for any artist, no matter their talents. I know very little of Lady Bitch though
ClownenJac73 7 months ago
@bunnyfeet123 O_O That's not true. Nobody thinks she made this song. It's just the background music for her manifesto. Why do you think this is not included in the actual recording? Because it is not part of her song.

Lady Gaga never claimed she composed this music, so blame your friends instead of her.
I'm glad she used this music. Now more and more people can discover the wonderful Bernard Herrmann.

Even if Born This Way did or did not send people here, a new generation of people who probably would be exposed to the brilliance of Herrmann now get to. Hopefully they delve deeper into his genius. If not, too bad. If so, awesome, right?
