Chillin

Earlier this year, Lady Gaga added her name to the many, many 'featuring' songs in the charts worldwide. Chillin is her collaboration with rapper Wale. Pronounced Wall Eh! It is released in the UK today but has been out as a download in the US since last April. It is one of those songs that you will either love or hate. It has a sample of the 1960's song Na Na Hey Hey (Kiss Him Goodbye). That sample has also been used this year on Kristina Debarge's Goodbye and Jay Z's D.O.A. (Death Of Auto Tune). Here's Wale featuring Lady Gaga and Chillin.
In 1983 Bananarama released their now well known version of Na Na Hey Hey (Kiss Him Goodbye) which was a number 5 hit in the UK.

the dreadfulness of listening to the Wale song was outweighed by the joy of listening to Bananarama. Saved!

Lol! Great comment Paul, It's unfortunate his name is pronounced Wall E isn't it.
