"I was busy. You got to pick people who's songs and voice that you like. And at that stage, it was before she was very big, they sent me songs and I didn't really like the songs. That's okay." -- Calvin Harris

Scottish DJ-songwriter-producer Calvin Harris reveals that though he had the opportunity to work with worldwide pop sensation Lady Gaga, he passed. Citing his own hectic schedule and a lack of real interest in her voice, Harris tells the BBC hosts that he was busy. However, he does soften the blow a little bit by admitting that the Gaga camp sent him album tracks and none of them were the big hits that put the "Poker Face" hitmaker on the map. It's no secret that Harris prefers the indie rock croonings of Florence Welch, and their collaboration "Sweet Nothing" has been topping the charts.
