It's not a coincidence that she named this song Zombieboy and not Zombiefied, she didn't get the chance to tribute him properly through the years after his death. I don't know how much the song is really representing him, but the title itself is a nice tribute to memory him.

Come on and wrap that blade of grass around my hairy ass

THIS IS JUST WHAT I THOUGHT!!!!!!!

this whole era seems like a huge fan service and she is honoring her past through details only us who have been here for quite a while would notice (I myself have been since the Alejandro MV so it's been quite a whileee)

I'm so humble that she's doing all of this visibly to deliver something that she thinks will makes LMs happy, cause she's always been very close to our community, remember folks she created a website back in the day just for us to gather and chat and feel like part of something when most of us felt left out and alone.

She released Fashion of His Love with a small excerpt from an unreleased song that only those of us who were really into it would notice.

I mean... she always did stuff in order for us to feel conected to her not in a egotistical way, but for us to feel seen. I can't put into words how much I love this woman and how she's inspired me through all these years. Small rant, I'm excited and I can't grasp how people are acting so bratty and dissatisfied when she's always wearing her heart on her sleeve for us to see.

I agree this album is made for us. Fan since Paparazzi mv.

Judas is coming, let the cultural baptism begin.

I also thought of this! The song title stood out to me for this very reason. I'm interested to hear what the song's lyrical content will entail.

Just realized Zombieboy is this albums “name” song. When I first looked at the track list I was bummed because every album since TFM has had at least one song that’s a name (Alejandro, Bloody Mary/Judas/Black Jesus, Donatella/Mary Jane Holland, John Wayne/Joanne, Alice) But now realizing that Zombieboy is a name so the scheme continues!

I’m a fan since right before just dance hit radio.  I was in nyc and saw this gay zine with a blonde wearing black latex and crazy cool sunglasses and looked up her music right away. It was visceral. 
I was visiting from Canada.

this seems like a natural evolution. She is embracinG her humanity. 
She is the gAga.  She is the maYhem

I seems like a fan letter to fans and I wonder if she is goin to take a break after this album. I have a feeling.

I think if her tour is the Legacy Ball then it would be a sign she plans to take a bit of a break, but if it’s the Mayhem Ball then I think everything will be normal (which tbh could still mean a 5 year wait for LG8 while she takes a break lol).

i would be surprised if the song wasn't a nod or tribute! it seems very fitting with the album's general mood, her paying homage to her past artistry and bringing back sounds that we fell in love with when we were younger. i only heard about genest's death when I was living in Montreal, but I remember vividly seeing him on BTW for the first time and wondering how they found each other. that mv changed my whole life. may he rest peacefully and feel the love we are sending his way <3

I do feel like she is giving all what we want and she might just take a break from the Gaga character for a while after all. i personally don't mind it and I like that she's more at peace with her past and artistry and that's all I want from her. She has given us so much in the past years and she deserves peace and quietness after all.
