Late last month, Lady Gaga unveiled a guitar-searing, harmonica-infused, countrified version of her smash hit single, "Born This Way," via her Twitter account. Ten days after its debut, Gaga has officially released the track, and will donate some of the proceeds from the tune to charity.

A portion of the money earned from sales of "Born This Way (Country Road Version)" will go to the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN), which, according to the organization's website, "strives to assure that each member of every school community is valued and respected regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity/expression."

The country remix of the hit song, which was co-produced by Gaga and Fernando Garibay, boasts some new lyrics that play up the track's twangy influences. Over picked mandolin accompaniment, Gaga sings, "If I wanna make it country, baby, it's OK/ 'Cause I was born, I was born, I was born this way/ From London, Paris, Japan back to USA/ I was born on the road, I was born to be brave."

In February, during a chat on Gayle King's talk show, Gaga confirmed that there would be two videos for "Born This Way." The Nick Knight-directed, sci-fi-influenced clip for the song's original version dropped at the tail end of February. Meanwhile, there's no word when or if Gaga will ever release a video for the "stripped-down" country version of the track considering she just wrapped up work on her clip for Born This Way's second single, "Judas."

Lady Gaga and her team took the weekend to work on the video for "Judas," the singer's second single off her May release, Born This Way. With little known about the clip other than that it is co-directed by Gaga and her creative director, Laurieann Gibson, Gaga and her cohorts all teased the shoot on Twitter over the weekend.

Early Sunday, Mother Monster herself shared that she's quite proud of the video. She tweeted, "Directing Judas video with my sister @boomkack is the most exciting artistic moment of my career. It's the greatest work we've done. Day 2."

Her faithful stylist, Thierry Mugler creative director Nicola Formichetti, kept fans abreast all weekend, tweeting on Saturday, "Just finished shooting our incredible day 1. We are so blessed."

On Sunday, he shared that the crew has been busy working on the video in Los Angeles, where Gaga recently played some shows on her Monster Ball Tour. "Good mornin' LA! It was magical yesterday. so excited for our day2!!!!!!!!!!@ladygaga @BoomKack @TheValGarland #judas."

Makeup artist Val Garland added, "It's going to be a very GaGalicious day here in LaLa Land .... Remarkably I feel amazing and GaGGing for gorgeousness ....."

By the time Monday morning rolled in, Formichetti let all the little monsters know that the last frame had been shot. "Just finished shooting the most amazing video/movie of all time!! Totally in love with JUDAS baby," he wrote.

Even Gaga's beau, Luc Carl, couldn't contain his excitement about what he describes as "bad ass." "Breaking rules once again," he wrote on Twitter.

For those wanting to know more about all things "Judas," Gaga plans to share more in a video she's posting on Tuesday. "GAGAVISION no.41 coming, at midnight TUES. Filming and editing it myself. Will announce JUDAS release!" she tweeted. "Feels like the first time, monsters."
