[Rebecca] is seeking recognition for what she created.\"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Francescatti, who sings under the name Rebecca F., is suing for unspecified damages.&amp;#160;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We called Lady Gaga's camp for comment ... no word back so far.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;GAGA'S SONG&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;\n\n&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;\n&lt;div style=\"float: left; margin-top: 10px;\"&gt;&lt;!-- relatedpoll --&gt;&lt;/div&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
