US pop star Lady Gaga has taken on a track known best 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 and Anthony Newley for the 1964 stage musical The Roar Of The Greasepaint - The Smell Of The Crowd, is performed by <br> <br> Gaga for her film Joker: Folie à Deux.<br> <br> <br> <br> To most Australians, it is the bold and brassy version sung by Gina <br> <br> Riley, who also plays Kimberly Diane 'Kim' Craig (née Day) in the legendary comedy.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Before being immortalised in to the fabric of Australian pop <br> <br> culture, thanks to Gina's  rendition, the song had been covered by the likes of <br> <br> Shirley Bassey in 1968 and Sammy Davis Jr in 1965.<br> <br> <br> <br> And now, the Born This Way hitmaker has taken a stab at the track - with the results markedly different to the brassy feel of the Kath & <br> <br> Kim version.<br> <br> <br> <br> Gaga's take, which also features on her new album Harlequin, is a much more  stripped back that builds to a crescendo thanks to rocking guitars.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Speaking to Today Extra about the track, Kath & Kim star Peter Rowsthorn joked <br> <br> that he was 'constantly' hounded by the US pop star regarding the <br> <br> track.<br> <br> <br> <br> 'She's constantly calling me, so I know she's a big fan,' Pete, who play's Kim's on-again-off-again husband <br> <br> 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 <br> <br> the theme tune to the iconic comedy series Kath & Kim for her film Joker: <br> <br> 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 <br> <br> between the two renditions.<br> <br> <br> <br> 'I believe the Gina Riley version, or the <br> <br> "Kim" version, is the better version.' <br> <br> <br> <br> The Today Show posted a short clip featuring the Gaga's version over the Kath and Kim title <br> <br> sequence to Instagram and viewers were quick to 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 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 <br> <br> song would always belong to Kath and Kim.<br> <br> <br> <br> 'Who cares about Shirley it's iconic because it's the Kath and <br> <br> Kim theme song,' they wrote.<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 at the track and the results are markedly different <br> <br> to the brassy feel of the 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, <br> <br> Glenn Robbins and Peter Rowsthorn went on to become one of Australia's most beloved comedies.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> The hit comedy also boasted a litany of high-profile guest stars including <br> <br> Kylie Minogue, Little Britain's Matt Lucas, Eric Bana, and <br> <br> cricket icon Shane Warne.<br> <br> <br> <br> Gaga, whose birth name is Stefani Germanotta, stars as <br> <br> Harley opposite Joaquin's Joker in the psychological thriller musical.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> However, the musical has received mixed reviews from critics, while fans took to social media to claim that the songstress is <br> <br> at risk of losing her acting career.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Speaking to Today Extra about the track, Kath & Kim star <br> <br> Peter Rowsthorn revealed he was being 'constantly hounded by the US <br> <br> 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 homepage ... พวงหรีดงานศพ - https://www.r2tbiohospital.com/bbs/board.php?bo_table=free&wr_id=2335234
