A couple of months ago, Lady Gaga performed alongside Tony Bennett at New York City's Lincoln Center as part of the celebration of their jazz album Cheek to Cheek. During the performance, the "Do What U Want" singer took a minute to morph into another iconic pop star, Cher, for a cover of "Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down).
As part of the upcoming PBS special titled Tony Bennett & Lady Gaga: Cheek to Cheek Live!, which airs next month, Gaga showed her off her killer vocal skills –– and some pretty interesting looks that could "turn back time." Yep, we went there...
Check out the cover of "Bang Bang" below. Look beyond the outfit and hair... trust us!
Originally sung by both Cher and Nancy Sinatra, this isn't the first time the tune has received some respect. We can't forget that it was also featured in the trailer for Beyonce's HBO tour special. Yes, Queen Bey herself!
So, who has the better cover? You tell us! Check out Mrs. Carter's version here.
And, of course, we've got to show you Cher's version, which was the singer's second single from her second studio album The Sonny Side of Cher.
Gaga recently tweeted about the video, which was posted to her Vevo account:
