For the very first time I made a video lyrics or rather lyrics video.
Here's a short description for this song.

Gaga originally wrote "Telephone" for Britney Spears to be put in her 2008 studio album Circus. However, after recording the track, Spears' label rejected the song, and Gaga rerecorded the song later as a collaboration with Knowles for The Fame Monster. Gaga said, "I wrote it for her a long time ago and she just didn't use it for her album. It's fine because I love the song and I get to perform it now." Additionally, the guest vocalist was originally going to be Spears, but when Spears wanted to put the song on her own greatest hits album, Gaga made alternative arrangements and made Knowles the featured vocalist instead. The main inspiration behind the song was Gaga's fear of suffocation as she felt that she seldom found time to just letting it go loose and have fun.

"Telephone" is written by Lady Gaga, Rodney Jerkins, LaShawn Daniels, Lazonate Franklin and Beyoncé. Although constructed as a duet, the song features Knowles first appearing in the middle verse and rapping her lyrics through a brief interlude, and backs the chorus during the rest of the song. Essentially, Gaga's in a club and her boyfriend keeps ringing, but she can't talk right now because she's drinking and dancing to her favourite song. The chorus runs thusly: "Stop calling, stop calling, I don't want to talk anymore.
" The song consists of an expanded bridge, verse-rap and an epilogue where the caller gets through to her voicemail.
The lyrics of "Telephone" talks about the singer preferring the dance floor rather than answer her lover's call.
The verses are sung in a rapid-fire way, accompanied by double beats. According to Gaga, the phone addressed in the lyrics of the song is not a physical phone but a person in her head telling her to keep working harder and harder. Gaga explained, "That's my fear — that the phone's ringing and my head's ringing,
Whether it's a telephone or it's just the thoughts in your head, that's another fear."

The fame monster album rocks. :) -TheBevenice
