Lady Gaga might want to call a plumber, because she can't stop leaking. 

Yesterday, she declared a "POP MUSIC EMERGENCY" after the first single off her new album, Artpop, began to leak, a week before it was intended to premiere. Gaga decided to beat the leak and release the track, "Applause," early. 

Now, another Gaga track has leaked. But someone else is lashing out this time: Cher.

The track, called "The Greatest Thing," was actually intended for Cher's next album, with Lady Gaga writing and RedOne producing, but went unreleased when Gaga decided she didn't like the final product. 

"She Doesn't Like It! Shes an ARTIST..." Cher explained on Twitter. "Its Her Song, Her Voice,Her Choice" 

But here it is, finally online:

And it's...something.

Acoustically, the song sounds like the theme song from your favorite anime cartoon. Being played at the gay bar. During a drag show. After you time travelled back to the ‘90s (or ‘80s?).

You could also say it sounds "campy."

[Editor's note: The song is being pulled down as quickly as Little Monsters are re-uploading it. If this link goes down, do a quick Google search and you're sure to find an active link.]

Word got back to Cher that the song leaked and she was none too pleased about it, taking to Twitter to vent her frustration in typical Cher fashion. Below, we translate her Cher-ese.

Cher's tweet: "FK"

Translation: "F--k"

Cher's tweet: "Just heard TGT ! F--K ! IT'S NOT EVEN THE RIGHT F--KING VERSION!!! WHY DO PPL THINK THIS KINDA LEAKING S--T IS OK ! I'm so Fg DISSAPOINTED"

Translation: "Just heart The Greatest Thing leaked! F--k! It's not the final version of the song! Why do people think that leaking artists' material is acceptable? I'm so f--king disappointed"

Cher's tweet: "Disappointed( Ive Sat on fkng song 4 over a yr )NOW SOME ASSHOLE LEAKS WRONG VERSION ! GaGa's SINGLE IS GREAT, & THAT'S ALL THAT MATTERS" 

Translation: You get the gist. She's pissed.
