Forget Egypt: If Google Trends is any guide, the most important thing going on right now is not that country's volatile political situation but rather the release of Lady Gaga's new single, "Born This Way."

OMG!!!

News of the eccentric pop star's new song, which came out this morning, is also coursing through Twitter, and it's sparked a debate that we ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO ADDRESS BECAUSE IT MIGHT BE THE MOST IMPORTANT THING EVER DISCUSSED IN THE HISTORY OF MANKIND.

So here it is: Does "Born This Way" sound a lot like Madonna's "Express Yourself"?
