I don't listen to the radio very often so I hadn't heard the new Lady Gaga single "Born this way" until just a few moments ago when I found a YouTube stream that wasn't been pulled (yet). And now it appears that I am further behind the times than I thought because here's Swedish teen-pop sensation Ulrik Munther already performing a cover of said tune.
