If you want to win over a room, fully committing to a "Burning Down the House" cover will do the trick. 

Mark Ronson and Lady Gaga teamed up for a cover of the Talking Heads at a Met Gala after party at The Standard Hotel Monday. After several costume changes from Gaga through the night, the duo shredded their way through the 1983 jam in matching suits -- though David Byrne devotees might bemoan the fact that the ensembles were well-fitted.

Brie Larson and Amandla Stenberg were big fans of the performance. Larson previously showed love for Gaga after the singer's emotional Oscar performance moved Larson to hug all the survivors who shared the stage during "'Til It Happens to You."

Leonardo DiCaprio was also there, confirming that it was a cool and hip place to be last evening. He and Larson probably talked about their new Oscars, if Leo ever even thinks about that little statue

Gaga also danced to Beyoncé's "7/11" as one does while living their best life.
