The Manifesto of Mother Monster is a speech by Lady Gaga during the music video for "Born This Way". During the reading in the music video, the backtrack played is from Alfred Hitchcock's 1958 film, Vertigo. The song itself is composed by Bernard Herrmann. The Manifesto was reused during The Born This Way Ball Tour, where a giant animatronic recreation of Lady Gaga's face in a diamond shaped prism spoke it as an interlude between the performances of "Bloody Mary" and "Bad Romance."
