This new section — which contains one of the song's most memorable hooks — follows each and every chorus in "Bad Romance." It establishes the song's groove and paves the way for the entrance of the VERSE, but I'm calling it a POSTCHORUS. Verse 1 ... … and its REFRAIN. Verse 2 … … and its refrain. "Bad Romance" has a two-pronged chorus. Here's the first part … … and here's the second part (which we heard previously as the song's introduction). Verse 3 … … and its refrain. Verse 4 … … and its refrain. This second, RETRANSITION phase of the bridge features new material presented over the same chord changes as the chorus (F–G–Am–C, F–G–E/G#–Am). The retransition phase of the bridge intensifies as the second half of the chorus melody ("Oh-oh-oh-oh … caught in a bad romance") is now layered in to the texture, "quodlibet" style. The full-fledged final chorus is imminent … You go, Gaga! This final postchorus serves as the song's CODA. Exported by Brent on Fri Sep 16 22:24:14 EDT 2011
