Librarians (and archivists) do Gaga

Having thus far avoided knowing anything at all about Lady Gaga, other than that she looks like crackwhore!Barbie and apparently prefers singing in her underwear, I am nevertheless highly amused by this, from the students and faculty of the University of Washington's library school:

I hope to eventually see a music video done for THESE lyrics, since as we all know archivists are WAY cooler than plain old ordinary librarians, heh heh heh:

"You seek primary sources for historical research
But the library catalog has left you in the lurch
The archives contains all the information that you need
So come on down and we’ll give you a document to read
Oh, oh, oh, oh, ohhhh, ohh-oh-e-ohh-oh-oh
An archivist is hard to resist!
Oh, oh, oh, oh, ohhhh, ohh-oh-e-ohh-oh-oh
An archivist is hard to resist..."

Read the rest here. And giggle.

Ohhh god, the UMD iSchool discussion list was going on about it forever. There was some talk of making a response video, I think - but I just lack school spirit. :p

Hey, are you going to SAA?
