No Dada Monster, Apparently

While I had suspected that "cool Nebraska guy" of You and I fame was Matty Dada, it seems the blogosphere has other ideas.
According to Access Hollywood, the singer based her first album (likely The Fame and not Red and Blue) on her relationship with Luc Carl.

People reports:
Carl and Gaga, 24, split a few years ago – but the pair started dating again a couple of weeks ago, says a source. Last month, in fact, the couple went public with their romance, attending a New York Mets game together.

"Gaga's first album is entirely about their relationship and her latest song, 'You and I,' is about how they got back together," adds the source. "They've been in love for a while."


The Frisky
gives us the top 5 things we need to know about her new/old boyfriend.
1. Luc is 29 and hails from Omaha, Nebraska, though he now lives in Brooklyn, New York. On his MySpace profile, his About Me section reads, “Got slicked black hair Skin tight jeans Cadillac car And a teenage dream.” Who he’s looking for? “Blonde. ridiculously expensive perfume. 6” heels.” Sounds like Gaga to us. [MySpace]
2. Not shockingly, Luc is a musician, DJ, and club promoter. He’s also an author. His book, The Drunk Diet: A Memoir By Luc Carl will evidently be out in 2011. On his website, the book as described as “memoirs of a year in which he went from being an out of shape, bloated a**hole, to the sexiest, most delightful man on the planet.” [Drunk Diet]
3. Luc is apparently a runner, certified personal trainer, and semi-pro bowler. And he owns two bars—St. Jerome’s and Welcome to the Johnsons in New York City—and sometimes works as a bartender. [MySpace, Drunk Diet]
4. Supposedly, Lady Gaga’s first album is all about her romance with Luc. Ditto for her latest tune, “You and I.” In it she sings, “It’s been a long time but I’m back in town/ But this time I’m not leaving without you.” [People]
5. Luc sometimes spells his name with an umlaut. As in, Lüc.

These facts kind of straight-up prove "You and I" is a word-for-word description of their rocky romance. Omaha? Likes heels? Bartender?

You and I's lyrics:
It’s been a long time since I came around.
It’s been a long time but I’m back in town
And this time I’m not leaving without you.

You taste like whiskey when you kiss me oooh
I’d give up anything again to be your baby doll.
Yeah this time I’m not leaving without you.

You said sit back down where you belong
In the corner of my bar with your high heels on.
Sit back down on the couch where we
Made love for the first time
And you said to me,

There’s something, something about this place.
Something about lonely nights and my lipstick on your face.
Something something about my cool Nebraska guy.
Yeah something about
Baby you and I.

It's been two years since I let you go,
I couldn't listened to a joke or rock n roll
And muscle cars drove a truck right through my heart.

On my Birthday you sang me "A Heart of Gold"
With a guitar humming and overload.
This time I'm not leaving without you ooh.

You said sit back down where you belong
In the corner of my bar with your high heels on
Sit back down on the couch where we
Made love for the first time and you said to me,

There’s something, something about this place
Something about lonely nights and my lipstick on your face
Something something about my cool Nebraska guy


Is he good enough for Loo?
Monsters debate on her discussion board, but I'd like to think he's the guy that gave her some rough love and his brown eyes before they lost each other when she tried for fame to impress him (paparazzi for anyone following this track run-down) rather than the negative love she left because he said she'd never become anything.
Though, those men seem to be one and the same according to the hardcore reporting I've been doing the past hour. Gaga says in You and I she couldn't listen to rock and roll after leaving him, which coincides with her comments in interviews that she stopped playing rock after leaving the guy that gave her her greatest heartbreak.

One monster sides with Lüc, explaining he probably did tell her she'd be nothing, but that it was likely during a break-up fight and he said things he didn't really mean in order to stop her from leaving.
Another suggests maybe You and I is another exorcism of her past monsters and that they may not be together but have been able to move on to a good place of friendship, like her and Dada did.
LilPhilosopher puts it well: "I was thinking the other day that maybe her song doesn't mean she wants Luc back. Maybe it means that when her next true love comes around, she's not gonna let him go. "This time I'm not leaving without you." I know gaga broke up with him on the day she shot the video for Just Dance, but I don't know a lot of the details. Either way, I know gaga will do what is best for herself. She seems good lately, getting back into her rocknroll roots."

And, to be honest, his blog is fucking hilarious.
