Pomplamoose is an American musical duo which features Californian multi-instrumentalists Jack Conte and Nataly Dawn. The duo formed in the summer of 2008 and sold approximately 100,000 songs online in 2009. They are known for their diverse music style which the pair themselves refuse to label.
The name of the band derives from the French word pamplemousse, meaning grapefruit. Pomplamoose is an English-spelling approximation of the French pronunciation.
Pomplamoose's presence is primarily videos on YouTube and MySpace, with few live performances. They have gathered over 429,000 subscribers and 100 million viewers on their YouTube channel as of August 19, 2014. The group first gained widespread recognition when their video performance of "Hail Mary" was featured on the front page of YouTube. The duo recently produced the latest studio album of Julia Nunes.
Their videos mostly take the form of "VideoSongs", a medium Jack Conte defines with two rules:
Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta (/ˈstɛfəniː dʒɜːrməˈnɒtə/ STEF-ə-nee jur-mə-NOT-ə; born March 28, 1986), known professionally as Lady Gaga, is an American singer, songwriter, and actress. She is known for her self-empowering messages, fashion, and live performances. Gaga initially performed in theater, appearing in high school plays, and studied at CAP21 through New York University's Tisch School of the Arts before dropping out to pursue a musical career. After leaving a rock band, participating in the Lower East Side's avant garde performance art circuit, and being dropped from a contract with Def Jam Recordings, Gaga worked as a songwriter for Sony/ATV Music Publishing. There, recording artist Akon noticed her vocal abilities and helped her to sign a joint deal with Interscope Records and his own KonLive Distribution.
Her debut album The Fame (2008) was a critical and commercial success that produced global chart-topping singles such as "Just Dance" and "Poker Face". A follow-up EP, The Fame Monster (2009), was met with a similar reception and released the successful singles "Bad Romance", "Telephone", and "Alejandro". Her second full-length album Born This Way was released in 2011, topping the charts in more than 20 countries, including the United States, where it sold over one million copies in its first week. The album produced the number-one single "Born This Way". Her third album Artpop, released in 2013, topped the US charts and included the successful single "Applause". In 2014, Gaga released a collaborative jazz album with Tony Bennett titled Cheek to Cheek, which became her third consecutive number one in the United States. For her work in the television series American Horror Story: Hotel, Gaga won a Golden Globe Award in 2016.
Mark Daniel Ronson (born 4 September 1975) is an English musician, DJ, singer, songwriter, and record producer. Although his debut album Here Comes the Fuzz failed to make an impact on the charts, his second album Version reached number two in the UK and included three top 10 singles. This success won him a Brit Award for Best British Male Solo Artist in 2008. His third studio album, Record Collection, was released on 27 September 2010, peaking at number two in the UK.
In 2014, Ronson achieved his first UK and US number one single with the Grammy-nominated "Uptown Funk," which featured vocals from Bruno Mars. In 2015 it won Ronson the Brit Award for British Single of the Year. His fourth studio album, the Grammy-nominated Uptown Special, was released in January 2015, and became his first UK number one album. Ronson has also produced multi-platinum, Grammy-winning albums for Amy Winehouse and Adele.
Ronson was born at the Wellington Hospital, St John's Wood, London, the son of Laurence Ronson, a real-estate speculator and music manager, and Anne Dexter. His parents are both Ashkenazi Jews (their ancestors being Jewish immigrants from Austria, Russia, and Lithuania); Ronson was brought up in Masorti Judaism and had a Bar Mitzvah. The family name was originally "Aaronson," but was shortened by Mark's grandfather Henry. He is the nephew of Gerald Ronson. Through his mother, he is also related to British Conservative politicians Sir Malcolm Rifkind and Leon Lord Brittan, as well as Odeon Cinemas founder Oscar Deutsch. He is not related to the late English guitarist Mick Ronson, who coincidentally fathered a son named Mark in 1975.
Peter Gene Hernandez (born October 8, 1985), professionally known by his stage name Bruno Mars, is an American singer, songwriter, record producer, and choreographer. Born and raised in Honolulu, Hawaii, by a family of musicians, Mars began making music at a young age and performed in various musical venues in his hometown throughout his childhood. He graduated from high school and moved to Los Angeles to pursue a musical career. Mars produced songs for other artists, co-founding the production team The Smeezingtons.
Mars had an unsuccessful stint with Motown Records, but then signed with Atlantic in 2009. He became recognized as a solo artist after lending his vocals to the songs "Nothin' on You" by B.o.B, and "Billionaire" by Travie McCoy, which were international successes, and for which he co-wrote the hooks. His debut studio album, Doo-Wops & Hooligans (2010), was anchored by the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart-topping singles "Just the Way You Are" and "Grenade", as well as the number-five single "The Lazy Song". His second album, Unorthodox Jukebox, released in 2012, peaked at number one in the United States. The album spawned the international singles "Locked Out of Heaven", "When I Was Your Man" and "Treasure".

Shot in one take, no cuts or invisible edits starting at 0:04. This song is on our new album, Season 2 available on iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/season-2/id902077038?uo=4 For the verse of our mashup, we used the chords from "Get Lucky" with the vocals from "Happy." For our prechorus, we used the vocals from both "Happy" and "Get Lucky." The chorus of our mashup is the chords and vocals from "Happy" and the vocals from "Lose Yourself to Dance." We are anticipating a mountain of comments about boobs. That's okay - we know boobs get people going. We didn't intend to make a "boob" video. We just thought it would be cool to project on another 3D surface.... and Nataly's boobs make GREAT eyeballs.

The doors will soon be closing
And you'll wonder what's behind them
Who is watching you through tinted windows
Pointing at your funny shoes
Which way will you choose
To jump aboard and close your books
To take a second look
Well it's all gone, yes it just faded
In a blinking of a what is that
I hear another train arriving
One that's headed north carrying people
Who have jobs and heavy consciences
But I think you look nice
Twice as nice as anybody else
So please don't lose your mind
'Cause it doesn't belong to anybody else
No, it doesn't belong to anybody else
Maybe I should join the multitudes
And climb the rusty mountain
With a good 78 years ahead
Maybe even two
And when I'm through I'll have more money
And a parking spot
And kids who wonder what to make
Of their fortunate lot
I'm afraid you haven't noticed
You forgot to pack your teddy
Or perhaps he wasn't ready
To leave all of it behind
The trains will keep on running
And they'll still think you look funny
'Cause you're wearing your pajamas
And you haven't lost your smile
La, la, la, la, la, la
- Are lalas stupid?
- No!
- I use las all the time.
