Lady Gaga's Alejandro

Lady Gaga's Alejandro...by the numbers:

Length of video = 8m 43s

Portion of video w/ lyrics = 6m 22s

Time we hear "Alejandro" = 5m 23s

So that means that over 85% of the words we hear during the video are "Alejandro" - probably more, since she says it several times during refrains.

I only watched twice, and I can't be bothered to go through it again.

Below are my timings/comments:

First 2.02 = no lyrics
2.15 - 2.31 = no words
2.32 - 3.21 = 1st verse
3.22 - 3.41 = 1st Alejandro refrain
3.42 -4.39 = 2nd verse
4.40 -4.58 = 2nd Alejandro refrain
4.59 - 5.37 = refrain
5.38 - 8.24 = 3rd Alejandro refrain (w/ refrain sung over it)
8.25 - 8.43 = silence

49s = v1
57s = v2
38s = refrain

144s = 2m 24s of hearing anything other than "Alejandro" during 8.43 song
1m 19s = 1st Alejandro refrain.
1m 18s = 2nd Alejandro refrain
2m 46s =3rd Alejandro refrain

Total 5m 23s out of 6m 22s of lyrics.
