Mister Gaga 22,889 Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Too risky. It would have been a smash during TF/M, but now a days...let's keep her brand new image clean...she has the GP back after 5 long years, it's not the right moment to release DIC Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every other line is "touch myself". It's the simplest song on the album to understand, and to be honest, one of the most boring parts of the album. I don't get why everyone stans it so much. If this was a massive hit in the 90s, then DIC could be a hit today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree it couldn't be her leadsingle because of it's content but it's perfect as a single at some point. Joanne enjoys a massive debut, she's promoting heavily and enjoying the fruits of her labor. Why not throw something fun in the mix some months from now with DIC? It would smash, I'm confused some people are so worried about prudes shooting down the song... Let's imagine it WOULD get banned on just one radiostation... Can you imagine the press coverage she'd get out of that? "LADY GAGA'S NEW SINGLE TOO SEXUAL - BANNED ON RADIO". Boom. Instant hype. People would search for the video immediately. It would be AMAZING. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaga LOST the GP (and it wasn't 5 years by the way) because ARTPOP was a MESSY era that was too conceptual for the casual listener to connect with, not because she was sexually explicit. When she was sexually explicit in Poker Face, Love Game, Alejandro... People ate it up. This is the woman who shot fire from her breasts and set a pimp on fire in one of the most watched music videos of all time. Since when are Little Monsters little prudes? Controversy over sexuality is INSTANT hype. Not a career killer. Marketing 101. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheap Thrills is 90 BPM, DIC is 172 BPM. The only thing they share is a "tropical" vibe but DIC also has a latin influence (the ad-libs, the castanets, the guitar...) It doesn't share chords with Cheap Thrills either. If anything it's similar here and there to La Camisa Negra by Juanes (listen closely.) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's still a song about masturbation, and Gaga songs that are directly about sex, Usually don't do well. We need to keep in mind that she's only just now winning the broader audience back. LoveGame, PokerFace.... They both did well Currently listening to Joanne Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jojuun 4,159 Posted October 27, 2016 Author Share Posted October 27, 2016 Some of y'all be crazy. sex SELLS, it does not bomb popcareers. All of these songs were HITS and some are way "worse" (lyrically and in it's video) and smashed heavily YEARS (some DECADES) ago... And you can add basically any song by a male popstar about sex from the past 40 years to this list. The Weeknd and ever rapper every have had WAY more explicit songs and most of them went over well.

Try conducting at 172 with a metronome and then conducting to the song and it's quite ridiculous. Currently listening to Joanne Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's been awhile since I've taken a music course so I could be wrong. It just sounds like the phrases make more sense within a bpm of 86 or so.
