To figure out whether or not to use "You & I" or "You & Me", the rule is to say the sentence twice taking out "You &"
for example,
"You & I contracted herpes" vs. "You & Me contracted herpes"
-- "I contracted herpes" vs. "Me contracted herpes"
obviously in this example, "I contracted herpes" is the correct form.
In Lady GaGa's song, it is
"There's something about You & I" vs. "There's something about You & Me"
-- "There's something about I" vs. "There's something about Me."
So clearly, the correct form is, "There's something about Me."
Put the "You &" back in, and you simple get "There's something about You & Me."
That being said, Lady GaGa is wrong and needs to take an English class.
If you don't believe me, google it.

If "You" and "I" are conjoined in the subject position and then they are assigned a nominative case by the tense of the sentence and thus it has to be "You & I" not "You & Me." In a sentence like "there's something about you and I" the assignments are different. But in general, "you and I" is deemed correct and not "you and me" but like I said it depends.
