VIDEO Lady Gaga gets upstaged by her tambourine guy on SNL

Last night Lady Gaga was the host and musical guest on SNL, but during her performance of the Bruce Springsteen-inspired “Gypsy” she got upstaged by her peppy and passionate purple-pantsed tambourine man!

Anybody else getting the impression he was just supposed to deliver Gaga’s guitar then exit stage left, but instead decided to capture his moment in the spotlight? Well played purple-pantsed Mr. tambourine man, well played indeed.

In the words of Bob Dylan…

Hey Mr Tambourine Man, play a song for me
I’m not sleepy and there is no place I’m going to
Hey Mr Tambourine Man, play a song for me
In the jingle jangle morning I’ll come followin’ you.

Take me on a trip upon your magic swirlin’ ship
My senses have been stripped, my hands can’t feel to grip
My toes too numb to step, wait only for my boot heels
To be wanderin’
I’m ready to go anywhere, I’m ready for to fade
Into my own parade, cast your dancing spell my way
I promise to go under it.

Hey Mr Tambourine Man, play a song for me
I’m not sleepy and there is no place I’m going to
Hey Mr Tambourine Man, play a song for me
In the jingle jangle morning I’ll come followin’ you.
