I've heard it instrumentally somewhere...but you know, all music is some sort of familiar derivative otherwise we'd all be listening to experimental modern jazz and die of seizures.

The chorus doesn't sound like "Poker face" at all to me.........something completely different and dirty.

Supposedly Lady Gaga does the dirty version of this song as well. She doesn't say "Poker" in that version.

Does she substitute it with the other immensely popular card game: "Bridge" face?

It samples Ma Baker by Boney M. There was a song in the 90s that sampled this song as well.

I wiki'd her for the hell of it. She supposedly cites David Bowie and Freddie Mercury as major influences so that explains the gaudiness.

I know I've heard this before, I'm thinking 90s europop song. Anyone?

Supposedly only the Bony M Ma Baker line "'muh muh muh mah" was sampled, the rest is original work (so claimed).

The "Can't read my - can't read my - can't read my poker face" tune is copied from something as well. It's VERY familiar.

Yes, and unfortunately, every time I turn the radio on in my car, this song happens to be playing.

Well, I believe you, but they aren't crediting it (just the other line I quoted). I guess I'll bookmark the thread, curious now to what it's from.
