I keep hearing everyone say this song is radio friendly but tbh i see it flopping really hard

 

Not because of its sexual lyrics but Dancing In Circles is kind of like the Bloody Mary track of Joanne

 

It sounds weird and creepy.  Its like something youd listen to on halloween while whatching creepy hookers walk by or something :air: 

 

Its my fav track on the album to bop to but I just dont see the GP eating up a song that sounds so weird and creepy even if it does have an upbeat tempo

I can see it do really well around Summer time. If someone could remix it with a more tropical house beat (like Took A Pill In Ibiza remix) It will do really well. 

SUCH A BOP THOUGH!!!

I played the album earlier in the car with my mum, she laughed at the lyrics because of the obvious message, but she asked 'why hasn't she released this one?', telling me 'it's alright'... bearing in mind she won't admit if she likes a gaga track :madge:

Yeah, the whole vibe of the song just couldn't be big on radio. It's hippie sounding, with Eastern influences, like something out of the Free Love era. You could imagine a bunch of people chanting around a cauldron to this song. But that type of song isn't all over the radio. And remember the little nod to Uptown Funk in it? She can't be accused of plagiarism anymore.

Then there's the video. I imagine lots of women in floaty dresses in a field doing ceremonial dancing when I hear it. But there's no way that's what she'll actually go for. The song is too on the nose to show any other kind of imagery and she can't do with a restricted video when her regular videos are struggling to get views as it is.

Lastly, the lyrics. Of course dirty songs can be big on radio but they're usually shrouded in metaphors. DIC makes it completely obvious. The only hidden meaning is in the name of the song itself, everything else is obvious. I mean, the opening verse is "I lay around, touch myself to pass the time." You can't make it clearer than that. Then once that's over, you have to factor in "up all night trying to rub the pain out," and "swirl around as if I'm someone else, your hands are mine," "pretend I'm you until it clicks," and "all the things that are on my mind vanish as I touch myself." One line is one thing, multiple lines are another. You are getting graphic visions when you hear this stuff. It'll have to be edited to stand a chance and it won't sound as good then. Yes, there is a case for saying that Side To Side is big on the charts and radio right now but that's different. It's Nicki saying the most explicit stuff (which could still be worse) and we accept dirty so much better when it comes from a rapper because that's just what they do, the lyrics don't dream up any graphic thoughts and the innuendo is extremely subtle. I mean, I'm the queen of spotting innuendo and find dirtiness in stuff that no one else can. But honestly, it wasn't until Side To Side had been a single for a few weeks and I saw this in the comment section: "This song is about being f***ed so hard you can't walk straight afterwards" that I even realised what she meant. Up until that moment, I was totally thinking that she meant that he's got her in a moral dilemma because he's a bad boy but his loving is so good, so she's going back and forth, or side to side, over staying or leaving. So, if even I didn't spot the true meaning until it was spelled out to me, I'm sure it'll pass a lot of people by on the radio. DIC, not so.

Oh, yeah, and for those saying that there's weird songs all over the radio...most of them are from one hit wonders and new artists who are still finding their feet. That's the only kind of people who the public seem to accept weird songs from. Plus, Gaga's never really had hits with weird songs unless you count the quite risky industrial sound of Bad Romance and the name checking of marginalised groups on Born This Way, but she was at her peak, so she could get away with it. She can't get hits with weird songs anymore, that much is true.
