Poker, I Hardly Know Her.

Series Next Week in Rock Band DLC
Yes, that's right America. Eric Cartman is coming to Rock Band next week with his absolutely soul-crushing cover of Lady Gaga's "Poker Face." Seriously, Cartman brings down the house with his smooth vocals, amazing ability to replicate the libido-challenging lyrics of Lady Gaga, and funky fresh moves sure to make your bulge grow. Also, the regular version of Lady Gaga's song will be coming out, in addition to three other sexually-charged dance "hits."
Personally, I couldn't care less about the Lady Gaga stuff. I just don't think her music translates well to three plastic insturments since none of the peripherals you get are a synthsizer. That said, I couldn't be happier that she's got such a good sense of humor she's letting Harmonix release a version of Cartman's version from last season's South Park. Of course, now you'll have to deal with a litany of Cartman impersonators, but that's still better than having to listen to the real Lady Gaga.
Check out all the details below.
“Lady Gaga Pack 01” will include “Bad Romance,” “Just Dance,” “Monster” and “Poker Face” and will be available for purchase as “Lady Gaga Pack 01” as well as individual tracks on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 system, and as individual tracks only on Wii.
