US pop star Lady Gaga has taken on a track known best <br> <br> to Aussies as the opening theme to the iconic comedy series Kath & <br> <br> Kim.<br> <br> <br> <br> The song, originally written by Leslie Bricusse <br> <br> and Anthony Newley for the 1964 stage musical The Roar Of The Greasepaint - The Smell Of <br> <br> The Crowd, is performed by Gaga for her <br> <br> film Joker: Folie à Deux.<br> <br> <br> <br> To most Australians, it is the bold and brassy version sung <br> <br> by Gina Riley, who also plays Kimberly Diane 'Kim' <br> <br> Craig (née Day) in the legendary comedy.<br> <br> <br> <br> Before being immortalised in to the fabric of Australian pop culture, thanks to Gina's  rendition, <br> <br> the song had been covered by the likes of Shirley Bassey in 1968 and Sammy Davis <br> <br> Jr in 1965.<br> <br> <br> <br> And now, the Born This Way hitmaker has taken a stab at <br> <br> the track - with the results markedly different to the brassy <br> <br> feel of the Kath & Kim version.<br> <br> <br> <br> Gaga's take, which also features on her new album Harlequin, is a much more  stripped back <br> <br> that builds to a crescendo thanks to rocking guitars.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Speaking to Today Extra about the track, Kath & Kim star Peter Rowsthorn joked that he was 'constantly' hounded by the US pop star <br> <br> regarding the track.<br> <br> <br> <br> 'She's constantly calling me, so I know she's a big fan,' Pete,<br> <br> who play's Kim's on-again-off-again husband Brett in the series, said. <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> US pop star Lady Gaga has taken on a track known best to Aussies as the theme tune to the iconic comedy <br> <br> series Kath & Kim for her film Joker: Folie à Deux<br> <br> <br> <br> 'I said to Gaga, "If you want to do it, it's up to you. I'm the fifth banana in this thing".'<br> <br> <br> <br> Peter went on to mention that he did have a favourite between the <br> <br> two renditions.<br> <br> <br> <br> 'I believe the Gina Riley version, or the "Kim" version, is the better <br> <br> version.' <br> <br> <br> <br> The Today Show posted a short clip featuring the Gaga's version over the Kath and Kim <br> <br> title sequence to Instagram and viewers were quick to <br> <br> issue their shock at the surprising cover version.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> View this post on Instagram<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> A post shared by thetodayshow (@thetodayshow)<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> To most Australians, it is the bold and brassy version sung by Gina <br> <br> Riley (left), who also plays Kim Craig in the legendary comedy.<br> <br> Also pictured is Jane Turner who plays Kath (right)<br> <br> <br> <br> While some were quick to point out Shirley Bassey's famous version, one fan said the song would always belong to Kath and Kim.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> 'Who cares about Shirley it's iconic because it's the Kath and Kim theme song,' they wrote.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> 'I cannot take Gaga seriously with this song hahahaha.' <br> <br> <br> <br> Another did not hold back in their criticism of the Poke Face singer with: 'Totally sucks.<br> <br> Another flop of an album from Gaga. She'll probably ruin joker sequel too.' <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> The Born This Way hitmaker has taken a stab <br> <br> at the track and the results are markedly different to the brassy feel of the <br> <br> Kath & Kim version<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Read More<br> <br> <br> <br> Joaquin Phoenix encouraged Lady Gaga 'to sing poorly' in Joker sequel<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Kath & Kim, written and performed by Gina Riley and Jane Turner, ran on the ABC <br> <br> across three seasons from 2002 to 2005.<br> <br> <br> <br> The lauded sit-com which also starred Magda Szubanski, Glenn Robbins and Peter Rowsthorn went on to become one of Australia's <br> <br> most beloved comedies.<br> <br> <br> <br> The hit comedy also boasted a litany of high-profile guest stars including Kylie Minogue, <br> <br> Little Britain's Matt Lucas, Eric Bana, and cricket icon Shane Warne.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Gaga, whose birth name is Stefani Germanotta, stars as Harley opposite Joaquin's Joker in the psychological thriller musical.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> However, the musical has received mixed reviews from critics,<br> <br> while fans took to social media to claim <br> <br> that the songstress is at risk of losing her acting career.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Speaking to Today Extra about the track, Kath & Kim star Peter Rowsthorn revealed he was being 'constantly hounded by <br> <br> the US pop star while admitting he had a clear favourite<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Lady GagaShirley Bassey<br> <br> <br> <br> Also visit my web page :: พวงหรีดงานศพ - https://www.r2tbiohospital.com/bbs/board.php?bo_table=free&wr_id=2335234
