The second piece of this week’s Rock Band related news is arguably the most awesome (and most bizarre) of them all. Brace yourself, kids. It’s going to get messy in here.
Not only is next week’s Rock Band DLC bundle a 4-pack of tracks from the iconoclastic electro-pop diva, Lady GaGa, but there will also be a extra single release of one of her biggest hits, as covered by South Park, Colorado’s own Eric Cartman.
Hit the jump for details while you let that all sink in.
Indeed, while “Lady Gaga Pack 01″ may not contain your own dress made of stuffed Kermits or a lobster headpiece, it does have four of her biggest hits: “Bad Romance”, “Just Dance”, “Monster”, and “Poker Face”. You can pick up the tracks at the following, familiar price points.
- $1.99 USD, £.99 UK, €1.49 EU (160 Microsoft Points for Xbox 360) per track
- $6.99, £3.49 UK, €5.29 EU (560 Microsoft Points for Xbox 360) for “Lady Gaga Pack 01”
- $2.00 USD (200 Wii Points™) per track
However, what has my interest even more is the cover of “Poker Face” performed by Eric Cartman in the 13th season South Park episode, “Whale Whores”, which will be available next week as a single track download (aww, come on! Make it part of the pack!).
You have no idea how hard it was to get that cover out of my head in the weeks following the airing of that episode. I even had to turn to looking for fan-made full versions of the song online to hold me over in absence of an official version. Now we just have to see if the “I don’t give a crap ’bout whales/So go and hug a tree!” line stays in. Here’s to hoping.
