In a match made in some leather-clad sheep-motorcycle riding heaven, Lady Gaga and FarmVille are joining forces. Players will now get to interact with a Lady Gaga-inspired farm full of unicorns, crystals, and no, we weren’t kidding: Leather clad-sheep. (Hopefully, not sheepskin leather jackets though, that would just be extra creepy.) From May 17 to May 19, there will be specific tasks on GagaVille that need to be completed in order to hear an exclusive song each day.
"Lady Gaga is as passionate about her fans as we are about our players," said Zynga's Raquel DiSabatino, director of entertainment and media. "This really was a great meeting of the minds to create an innovative and playful experience for those folks."
This isn’t the first time a recording artist teamed up with a social networking game. Dr. Dre released a song from his album “Detox” on “Mafia Wars” last December.
Players in other Zygna games will also earn points that will let them purchase Lady Gaga goods and in “Words With Friends,” they will get a chance to win signed albums and concert tickets.
