Lady Gaga Swine Rehearsal Youtube Video Released [WATCH]; New ARTPOP Single Debuts At iTunes Festival Sept 1; "Swine is Dirty"

Lady Gaga Swine rehearsal youtube video released: Lady Gaga's new single "Swine" is set to debut at the iTunes festival September 1.  It follows her first single "Applause" off of album ARTPOP, which will be released as an app.  The release date of ARTPOP isn't until November, but Lady Gaga little monster fans will have a new song from their Mother Monster to content themselves with until that time!

In the Lady Gaga Swine rehearsal youtube video, we see Lady Gaga rocking out on the drums. Lady Gaga begins the video singing while seated at a keyboard the lyrics to her new Swine single: "I know, I know, I know you want me/You're just a pig inside a human body/Squeal-a, squeal-a, squeal-a you're so disgusting!"

The Lady Gaga Swine rehearsal youtube video isn't the first video we've seen from the artist in the promotion of her album ARTPOP.  The Bad Romance Singer caused a sensation when she did a naked performance art video for kickstarter with artist Marina Abramovic to help start the Marina Abramovic Institute.  In that video, the Gaga was seen naked in many contexts of beautiful nature with strange headgear.  Gaga posed meditatively on a giant crystal.

Lady Gaga recently spoke with performance artist Marina Abramovic about her new single Swine:

Swine is dirty. And in European culture, it's not very nice to call somebody swine. It's like the worst thing you can say. So when we were making the cover that you mention, with the dark hair...Each cover was designed with a custom outfit by one designer. That's the one that Hedi [Slimane] did-the one in the sequined jacket with the high-waisted jeans and the hair. That was the time in my life when I was the new artist. I wasn't a fully formed artist, I was 19, I was young. I was on my way. I was willing to do anything for art. It got me into so much trouble because when you're willing to do anything for art but you don't even know what your art is yet or what your music is or what you're making, you're willing to do anything to understand it or to experience something that will charge it or inspire it. And because of that I was really troubled. I was really sick all the time in my head, in my heart. I felt trapped, but I was free. And then it was like a slow death. A slow death of my innocence and my youth. And I had to climb through a lot of swine, and that's where that song came from. This idea of something so dark and something so awful and perverted that at a young age you don't really understand. And you don't want to know and understand it. And then, as I'm older, I understand the intenseness of the experiences that I went through. They have affected and changed who I am now. So this song became a liberation, because I'm now saying that if I am to be truly great at this transformation, I have to understand. It shows on stage before people's eyes. And that's really what these covers are about. It's not just the hair, it's the whole life.
