gaga ooh la la unga unga cookie cookie

hello

i do indeed "get" the pressures our (so-called) pop stars are under these days. first the internet made them bereft of record sales, for so few of us still actually buy music. and then all this new, fancy plague came along, look you see, meaning that they cannot earn coins of money off of gigs and that. 

making cash where you can, then, is where it's at. i really don't have a problem with artists licensing their vibes for adverts, for being "cool" and not a "sell out" to "the man" does not pay whatever bills pop stars might have, such as mortgages and of course [text obscured on legal advice] which isn't tax deductible as normally that's a cash only business. also, of course, selling the rights to use music to them computer space invader game things. famously it is so that Aerosmith were reported to have made more money off of their songs by letting them be used in games than they ever did from actual record sales. which is nice, and sidesteps the fact that most (but certainly not all) of Aerosmith albums were complete sh!t that you would only buy if it was that or a Sammy Hagar one instead. 

not all forms of pop stars bringing home the bucks, or bacon, make immediate sense, though. by all means crack on with what works, but every now and then, an endorsement or commercial venture fails to register anything at all when considering how it might have come to be. 

such as, since you were so kind to ask (in a tacit way), the above, and the below. which are Lady Gaga endorsed, or inspire, Oreo "cookies", with cookies i believe being that word what Americans use when they actually mean biscuits, for them have some other culinary dish which they call biscuits by mistake. 

make no mistake, i quite like Lady Gaga. a frequent frustration of mine is just how one of her tunes in particular, Bad Romance, could and should be one of the greatest pop songs of all time, if only it were not for the ludicrous over-production, exemplified by the unnecessary and distracting "gaa gaaa ooooh la la" dubbed all over it for no apparent reason. nothing much of Ms (or Lady) Gaga said that she had a natural affinity for any sort of biscuits ("cookies"), though. but we do live in a world where any number of sporting teams (or franchises) feel obliged to have "official mortgage broker partners" and similar. whatever pays the gig. 

did Lady Gaga endorsing, or "inspiring", these cookies compel me to purchase them? goodness me, no, in no way or form, leaving aside shape. partially it was an impulse purchase, but mostly (and this is not entirely separate) it was due to or down to them being on "special". 

yes, i am trying to work out which aspect of the cookies (since that seems to be the word) were inspired or endorsed by Lady Gaga. or both. my eyes may well be untrained, or simply failing me, but they do all seem appear to be just standard, regular Oreo things, if somewhat smaller than usual. although this is probably down to that "shrinkonomics" thing. where they sell you less for the same price, or however that all works. many things i am, an economist is not one. 

pretty much taste like regular Oreo biscuits or cookies (whatever) do, at least i think so. in truth it had been a fair while since i last had some, and i don't rightly know what i recall of such. bland, certainly, of course. growing up in the 80s, and seeing all these exotic brands in American shows and films, really set us up for a fall when we finally got to try them. in no way was i expecting, or prepared for, American sweets ("candy") or biscuits ("cookies") to be so banal and bland as they turned out to be. 

will i be purchasing any more of these? no. so far as i am aware the "special" on them is now at an end, or otherwise has ceased, and besides there are only so many Oreo things what i need. 

oh, there you go. on the packet it says "this is a design inspired by" and then a word you cannot read, due to the hideous font selected. i suspect it might be Chromosome X  or whatever she called her most recent album. that one what has a really good song on it, Rain, with her off of the tele, Ariana Grande i think. bangin' pop tune, that. no, i did not buy it. oh, just done a google thing and it is called Chromatica, if that is what that is supposed to say in the above. price has dropped too, maybe i shall pick it up.

quite like one of the songs off of the new McCartney (Paul) album too. but not to the tune of the £13 they are asking for the disc. also, they appear to have released 24 different versions of the record, so i am unsure what one to get to get the one song. no, so far as i am aware, McCartney (Paul) has not endorsed or inspired a biscuit, but he is obviously a Rich Tea man. i would speculate that if you called in at John it would have been hobnobs, and a cup of tea at George's would have come with custard creams. undoubtedly Ringo is into something continental, like Nice or other such sh!t infused with coconut and other ingredients most people do not like. 

there we have it, then. the future of pop music appears to be biscuits. and why not. role on the day that Ed Sheridan (or whatever) endorses biscuits, so i know what type to never, ever buy again. he will probably go for the same ones what Ringo does, anyhow. 

be excellent to each other!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
