Once upon a time, some 14 years ago, actually, Miley Cyrus educated Joaquin Phoenix on the lyrics of Lady Gaga by way of "Bad Romance," and fortunately for all the internet, the video has made its way back onto our screens and into our hearts.
The moment was originally posted to YouTube by TWLOHA (To Write Love on Her Arms), a non-profit that aims to help those struggling with mental health issues, on January 22, 2010.
Gaga's Grammy-winning album The Fame, full of treasures such as "Just Dance," "Paparazzi," and "Poker Face" had come out in 2008, and just a year later, she released her Fame Monster album.
But those songs meant nothing to Phoenix.
When Cyrus asked the actor is he knew about Gaga, he responded:
"Very well."
“She has the song ‘Everybody Goes Up.’ She also does the one ‘Two Lashes at a Time.'”
So, as one does, the recent Grammy winner taught Phoenix the ways of Gaga by singing and dancing to "Bad Romance."
Of course, Phoenix and Gaga will be starring in the upcoming Joker: Folie à Deux together, about a decade and a half after the fact, so needless to say, people on social media could not get over this unlikely duo engaging in a lesson on Mother Monster.
Joker: Folie à Deux opens in theaters on October 4, and this video is forever on the internet.
