OK, I admit that I barely knew who Lady Gaga was. So after watching the parody, I watched a Youtube video of her "Bad Romance". I came to three conclusions: the parody had far far lower production values than the original, Lady Gaga's music wasn't as bad as I expected, and Lady Gaga is a genius at self-promotion, on a par with Madonna.
"Freshman Josephine Coburn from UC Berkeley, also known as Lady Gallium, recently won a university competition for her music video Chromosome, which transforms Lady Gaga's lyrics to explain simple genetics (see video above)..."
Eli Rabett is a not quite failed professorial techno-bunny, a chair election from retirement, at a wanna be research university that has a lot to be proud of but has swallowed the Kool-Aid. The students are naive but great and the administrators vary day-to-day between homicidal and delusional. His colleagues are smart, but they have a curious inability to see the holes that they dig for themselves. Prof. Rabett is thankful that they occasionally heed his pointing out the implications of the various enthusiasms that rattle around the department and school. Ms. Rabett is thankful that Prof. Rabett occasionally heeds her pointing out that he is nuts.

Looking like a trend is developing:
Lady Gaga parody takes on genetics
