Lady Gaga will be performing a brand new song at a Thierry Mugler fashion show tomorrow in Paris. The show, which is part of Paris Fashion Week, will unveil her frequent collaborator and stylist Nicola Formichetti's ready-to-wear collection for the label.

Gaga debuted a remix of her song "Scheiße" at a previous Mugler runway show in January. It seems very likely that she will perform the regular, non-remixed version of the tune – which Rolling Stone previewed last week – at the event tomorrow.

Formichetti and Mugler have become increasingly essential to Gaga's projects in the lead-up to her new album Born This Way. Gaga has been seen wearing Mugler designs recently, including in her new video for "Born This Way." Also, Rick Genest – the tattooed model from the video for the "Scheiße" remix on the Mugler website – appeared with Gaga in the "Born This Way" clip.

Song Stories

“1999”

Prince | 1982

“I don’t consider myself a great poet,” Prince told Rolling Stone. “I just know I’m here to say what’s on my mind.” In the case of the apocalyptic party anthem “1999,” he was worried about then-president Ronald Reagan’s foreign policies. The song’s melody is based on a riff borrowed from the Mamas and Papas’ “Monday, Monday,” and Prince originally envisioned the first verse with three-part harmony but later split the vocals between himself and members of the Revolution. Because Warner Bros., with whom Prince was locked in a contractual battle, owned the original’s masters, Prince rerecorded the song and appropriately released that version in 1999.
