The band discussed the song as part of [[iTunes Originals band commentary - 2010#We Still Argue About the Call and Response|an interview released on iTunes]] in 2010<ref>[[iTunes Originals band commentary - 2010#We Still Argue About the Call and Response]]</ref>: | |||
<blockquote> | |||
'''Brian:''' "Kids/Poker Face" was a suggestion from our manager. | |||
'''Pat:''' I think I pushed for "Kids" because I was fascinated with the video, the unauthorized video with the, uh, people in makeup. | |||
'''Scott:''' Brian was dating Lady Gaga at the time, and so she kept pressuring him to do part of her song. | |||
'''Brian:''' So I uh, learned, "Kids", I remember spending all day trying to learn this solo and get it up to speed, and I finally got it close. And then I get a call from Dan, he said "oh, we're not doing the solo, we're going to do Lady Gaga instead in that section because it's the same chord progression", and I was mad at first, but I hadn't even heard the song yet, I just sort of knew who Lady Gaga was at this time. That's about, what, nine months ago? And, um, I was like, oh, yeah, that works. And I was really, mostly surprised with that. He knew that it was the same chord progression. He could tell that, so. | |||
'''Scott:''' it was another iTunes thing, I'd kept seeing her at the top of iTunes week after week, and I had never listened to it. And then it's all of a sudden, we're playing it. I was like, god, I better listen to that song. | |||
'''Brian:''' And I said, no, it's saying he's got to love somebody. Whatever it was. | |||
'''Scott:''' Yeah, we still argue about the call and response, yeah.</blockquote> | |||
