Lady GaGa has admitted that she became so obsessed with Green Day's 1994 album 'Dookie' that she used to lick the album's sleeve.

The singer, who was speaking at a press conference to launch her new Heartbeats headphones product at London's Oxford Street HMV store today (September , revealed her love for the Californians' album while outlining her fears for the CD and record industry.

"You know, you can download an MP3 but you cannot download a lifestyle," Gaga said. "And the culture of music – the visual behind the music and the dream of my show and what I believe in about performance and pop music – that's what compels young people to buy the hard album, and eat it, and smell it, and taste it.

"I remember when I bought Green Day's 'Dookie', I just wanted to lick the pages from the booklet! That particular album, I mean, it is iconic."

Gaga also declared herself the "hardest-working woman in pop", before stating that thanks to her forthcoming US tour with Kanye West she can't see a time in the future when she won't be playing gigs in arenas.

"In truth, this is the most exciting creative moment of my life so far. Kanye is a truly genius individual," she said about hooking up with the rapper. "The good news is that now I'm playing with Kanye, I'm staying in arenas – next year I begin a world tour."

Lady GaGa has teamed up with Dr. Dre's Beats Electronics company to make the Heartbeats headphones, along with Jimmy Iovine, Chairman of Interscope-Geffen-A&M Records, and electronics company Monster
