If Lady Gaga's nude butt didn't illuminate the tone of "Born This Way," then the surrealist image of her face and arms fused with a hellish-motorcycle will brighten it to near-sun levels.

This image, which MTV has called "surreal," came shortly before the "gaga saga" of 2011--wherein Weird Al Yankovic proposed a parody of "Born This Way" called "I Perform This Way," was denied by Gaga management, and then later approved by Gaga herself. Fun times, fun times.
