Lady Gaga Readies New Single for "SNL," "The Fame" Re-Release

After witnessing Lady Gaga's violently dramatic performance at MTV's Video Music Awards earlier this month (blood! hangings!), when word broke the former Rolling Stone cover star would rock Saturday Night Live this coming weekend, fans started to prep for something suitably epic. Gaga says she'll deliver — with a brand-new track. The singer told Las Vegas and San Diego radio stations KLUC and 94.1 she'll perform the as-yet-unspecified new song along with "Paparazzi," according to MTV News.

The new track could be destined for an expanded re-release of her smash debut, which Gaga said is called The Fame: Monster and is due November 24th (the star's rep confirmed a re-release will be released that day). "I wrote almost a full album's worth of material and right now I'm kind of spending my time sifting through it all and doctoring it and making it perfect and deciding what I want everyone to hear," she reportedly said.

Look back at Lady Gaga's wildest outfits.

“Weird”

Hanson | 1997

Accomplished tunesmith Desmond Child co-wrote "Weird" with the three brothers that make up Hanson. Credited for dozens of cuts, including songs by Kiss, Cher, Bon Jovi and Aerosmith, Child told Rolling Stone that "Weird" holds a special place in his heart, "because it's about being different--and I grew up poor, I grew up being Latin, I grew up being gay, and now I'm fat!" The song was included on Hanson's 1997 album Middle of Nowhere, which sold more than ten million units.
