"The most bizarre cover I've ever seen. On China's most popular satellite channel Hunan TV, playing to an audience of hundreds of millions of Chinese people worldwide, a group of retired senior citizens (over)cheerfully beat out a version of Lady Gaga's "Bad Romance" in Changsha's local dialect, accompanied by miniskirted Chinese musicians playing crystal traditional Chinese instruments.

Lady Gaga wasn't banned in China, that's right - but the Ministry of Culture did post a notice on its website that 6 of Lady Gaga's songs had not been submitted for official approval and should be removed from all music websites by Sep 15th 2011. Only approved music can be used online in China.

@Zolovision - you've got it all wrong, my friend. It's not the fact that they're old and having a good time that's bizarre. It's that the original material with its whacky, almost perverse lyrics and orgiastic music video as a self-conscious statement of modern youth culture actually bangs out rather well by the antithesis of the culture it represents - take a look at my blog about the video (link in the comments) for further insights.
