rx B-Sides: Lady Gaga's 'Dirty Ice Cream" Is The Original "Telephone"

[Jordan Miller]

THE MILKSHAKE MIGHT BRING ALL THE BOYS TO THE YARD, BUT DIRTY ICE CREAM KEEPS THEM AWAY.

Lady Gaga has an unreleased track in every flavor, but “Dirty Ice Cream” is one of her tastiest.

The campy pop tune made its debut on the singer’s old MySpace (RIP) page in 2007, and later made appearances in some of Gaga’s live performances. Framing its origin in the era of the MySpace days might make it feel like a relic, but more than a decade later “Dirty Ice Cream” stands the test of time.

Though Mother Monster never officially released it (a crime I tell you!), she knew it contained the essential ingredients that a masterful pop tune demands. Gaga ultimately penned and released “Telephone” (though it almost went to Britney Spears), a song about how annoying guys can be / not having the time of day to deal with their neediness, but before releasing that mega-tune, Gaga was already pissed. She was primed and aggravated by men, and it was churned out in the form of “Dirty Ice Cream.” She acted on impulse, they satisfied a craving, then she discarded them in the bin with the bowl and spoon.
