The Coalition to Stop Gun Violence has taken strong exception to Interscope artist Sabrina for releasing a controversial new song online this week titled I Wanna Shoot Lady Gaga.
Sabrina sings: “Shoot, shoot, shoot, just shoot Lady Gaga. Take the boom and the bullet goes zoom…to her temple of doom and we zap her to the moon…she can cherry boom boom and there’s blood on her costume.”
CSGV Communications Director Ladd Everitt said: “The problem right now, and we saw this in Arizona, is that when you have that out in popular culture you can get someone who’s severely deranged or unstable who has access to guns and then we have a tragedy on our hands.”
Sabrina tried to downplay the lyrics in a blog post on sohh.com: “Lady Gaga represents everything that’s wrong with the core of our society. My song is not about shooting Stefani Germanotta, the lonely, insecure girl better known to the world as her alter ego, Lady Gaga.”
“The song is about killing off the gimmick, the character of Lady Gaga. It’s not meant to be sadistic or evil, I mean, just check out the song’s artwork. We used a squirt gun – nothing violent, just metaphorical. I want to kill everything she represents and stands for.”
“I read in Forbes that Lady Gaga is one of the most powerful and influential people in the world…that thought turns my stomach. To think about how someone who is so morally bankrupt, who lacks integrity and gives slutty a whole new meaning, could hold such a position of influence is sickening.”
