Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, better known as Lady Gaga, took her stage name from a classic rock song. While working with producer Rob Fusari in 2006, her vocal style reminded him of Freddie Mercury. He began singing the Queen song 'Radio Ga Ga' whenever she entered the studio. According to one popular version of the story, Fusari sent her a text message that was supposed to say 'Radio Ga Ga,' but an autocorrect error changed it to 'Lady Ga Ga.' Stefani reportedly replied, 'That’s it. Don't ever call me Stefani again.' Gaga has since cited Queen and David Bowie as her primary influences for blending music with theatrical performance. She rose to fame in 2008 with the album 'The Fame,' which featured the global hits 'Just Dance' and 'Poker Face.'
