"Government Hooker" is a song by American singer 女神卡卡 from her second studio album, Born This Way (2011). She co-wrote and co-produced the song with Fernando Garibay and DJ White Shadow, with additional production from DJ Snake. "Government Hooker" was previously an unused track that Shadow created with DJ Snake. Recording sessions took place in 2010 at the Studio at the Palms in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The song is a synthpop track incorporating influences from many electronic subgenres including 铁克诺、trance, post-disco, and industrial. Its themes relate to female sexual empowerment, expressed as a metaphor for the supposed relationship between actress Marilyn Monroe and United States president John F. Kennedy. Critics appreciated the song's risqué and dark nature, as well as its music. Although never released as a single, "Government Hooker" charted in South Korea and the United States, where it peaked at number sixteen on the Hot Dance/Electronic Digital Songs.
背景
《娼妓政治学》由卡卡、费尔南多·加瑞贝和DJ白影合力创作完成，其录音于2010年在美国内华达州拉斯维加斯进行。[1]歌曲原本是DJ白影和DJ蛇王的一个旧的录音作品。白影在与文森特·赫伯特交谈之后将歌曲的节奏加快了。相对于录音时听到其它歌曲的拍子，赫伯特非常喜欢这首歌曲的样本。卡卡在首次听到歌曲的节拍之后不久就创作了歌曲的歌词。在创作过程中，由于白影认为保镖彼得·范·德·维恩的发音有着显著的荷兰口音，因此维恩被征来演唱经电脑处理的人声部分。[2]
词曲
《娼妓政治学》是一首快节奏的[3]流行电音，[4]包含出神、[5]铁克诺、[6]后迪斯科[7]和工业的元素。[8]《洛杉矶时报》的Randall Roberts认为歌曲致敬了德国电子组合发电厂乐团，并指出歌曲有着“奇异的卡西欧电子琴氛围下的电路扰动”。[7] To Evan Sawdey of PopMatters, the song contained amalgamated elements of Britney Spears' "Gimme More" (2007) and the New Order song "Blue Monday" (1983).[9] According to the music sheet published by Sony/ATV Music Publishing on Musicnotes.com, "Government Hooker" is written in the time signature of common time, with a moderate tempo of 120 beats per minute. It is composed in the key of F♯ minor. Gaga's voice spans the tonal nodes of F♯3 to C♯5. The song has a basic sequence of D–F♯m–D–F♯m during the verses, B–D–A–E during the bridge and Bm–F♯m–Bm–F♯m during the chorus, as its chord progression.[10] The song primarily explores themes of female sexual empowerment.[5][9]
《娼妓政治学》以卡卡歌剧式的演唱开头，并以工业合成器伴奏。begins as Gaga sings in an operatic fashion—backed by industrial synthesizers—and transcends into an electro-pop Gregorian chant.[11][12] The song then progresses into the chorus: "I can be good / I can be sex / I can be anything / I can be everything / I can be mom."[9] A male vocalist accompanies the singer's lyrics, "Unless you want to be man / Unless you want to hold hands / Unless you want to be dad".[9] After Gaga sings "I'm gonna drink my tears and cry / 'cos I know you love me baby" during the techno-inspired bridge,[9][13] she alludes to the alleged affair between Marilyn Monroe and John F. Kennedy with the lyrics "Put your hands on me / John F. Kennedy / I'll make you squeal baby", singing in an impassive and monotonous manner.[13]
反响
《娼妓政治学》发行后获得了乐评的好评。《洛杉矶时报》的Randall Roberts认为歌曲的力度变化一反《天生完美》中歌曲的特性。[7]《华盛顿邮报》的Chris Richards表示歌曲是专辑的亮点，并评论道：“《幸福边界》让《娼妓政治学》这种歌曲看起来比实际更加黑暗。”[14]《Spin》的Caryn Ganz则称卡卡古怪而异常的人格，即所谓的疯狂地性暗示，在《娼妓政治学》这首“肮脏而黑暗的迪斯科”中表现得淋漓尽致。[15]《娱乐周刊》的Christian Blauvelt则描述称歌曲的副歌“就像一个具感染力的锐舞者，而叠句则像一名杀手，相当让人无法抗拒。”[12]
《偏锋杂志》的Sal Cinquemani认为歌曲“肮脏”，[16]而MTV的Jocelyn Vena则称歌曲是一首“盛大的夜店歌曲”。[5]《滚石》的记者Jody Rosen感觉歌曲“淫秽”，其制作却让人着迷，嗡嗡、哔哔和咔嗒的节拍声如变形术般组合到了一起。[6]新音乐快递的Dan Martin写道，《娼妓政治学》不同于专辑其它歌曲的装模作样，并认为歌曲超越了“幽闭恐惧症般的”铁克诺节拍，“无拘无束的同时有着工业风格的一面，相当地疯狂。”[8]《告示牌》的Kerri Mason指出，歌曲有着“歌剧般的演唱、最少的铁克诺哔哔节拍、参考自JFK的风格以及对把自我看成诱人的产品之矛盾定义”。[17]BBC音乐的Ian Wade认为，歌曲阴森诡异的歌剧式开头为“卡西欧电子琴式的节拍”所替代。[18]Sawdey赞扬了歌曲性主题的歌词，并表示歌曲副歌的性转是自杀手乐队的《Somebody Told Me》以来做得最好的。[9]
虽然《娼妓政治学》并未发行为单曲，但歌曲进入了两个国家的榜单。在韩国，歌曲以13,976份销量空降Gaon数字榜第15名。[19]而在美国，歌曲空降《告示牌》舞曲/电音数码歌曲榜第16名。[20]
现场表演与媒体使用
2011年3月2日，卡卡在巴黎的一个时装秀首次公开表演了这首歌曲。[21]此外，在由克林顿基金会举办的《十年大不同》庆典中，卡卡在洛杉矶好莱坞露天剧场也现场表演了该歌曲。[22][23]《娼妓政治学》是第3场领衔巡演天生完美狂欢舞会的表演曲目之一。巡演中，在一曲简短的幕间之后，卡卡出现在城堡的一扇门前，并走下台阶，准备和自己的一个伴舞行房事。在歌曲分解联奏段，卡卡从抽屉里拿出一把手枪，射向伴舞。接着，卡卡再次唱起歌曲的副歌，对观众喊道“欢迎来到天生完美狂欢舞会”，并将城堡的大门射开。[24]
歌曲曾出现在2011年8月18日播出的2011年MTV音乐录影带大奖一个宣传影片中。[25]
