Can’t believe I didn’t realize this before.

Lady Gaga’s “Bad Romance” (2009):

Marilyn Manson’s “The Beautiful People” (1996):

Well, she ain’t no Britney when it comes to the dancing, so…. Also, people have kept making the Madonna connection, but I just don’t think that’s accurate. Madonna was never trying for creepy. Shocking, sensational, yes, but not creepy. Marilyn Manson is really what’s going on here.
