cus halloween isnt actually that big of a deal, not sure why people think its this huge promotional spot...

Especially if the song is too theme-y ala zombie boy and abracadabra, it could make it feel a bit too “holiday song” and not a song in its own right

It’s better to have the song out to garner later attention from Halloween Spotify lists then to release it during Halloween. The former gives it a fun context the latter condemns it to being a seasonal song like all I want for Christmas is you.

there is no need to chase another Halloween viral moment when she's literally the name behind Bloody Mary that invented that Halloween-single discussion in the first place

Maybe they only had budget for one MV and it had to go to Abra. And the one for Vanish Into You will be funded by Michael. :traumatica:

Michael should fund an entire Mayhem visual album

I think Zombieboy being a Halloween anthem could definitely happen, though probably not by being released as a single. It’s one of those things that would just have to go viral on it’s own.

No disrespect to you, Gaga, or anyone else on this forum, but I just don't feel/see what you all do with this song. It's my only "skip" on Mayhem, though I am not much of a physical skipper unless a truly ear blood-ish song pops up in shuffle on Spotify (doesn't apply to any Gaga songs for me).  I just think it's too campy and cheesy for me, especially coming from a fellow 38 year old woman.  Yet, I feel like ya'll are sleeping on Beast, which is so deeply sensual and steamy.  The rhetoric and love for Zombieboy and ignoring of The Beast should be reversed in my opinion.

We can love both, and I’ve seen a lot of people praising each. I love campy Gaga. I love the deeper sides of her too. Music is all subjective. I personally love both Zombieboy and The Beast for different reasons/moods. 
 

I’m 35 and I love when music can be a bit silly. Having gone through a recent tough breakup, Zombieboy (especially the bridge) is quite healing for me. Something I appreciate about Gaga’s music, and pop music in general, is when lyrics talk about real emotions in a campy way. I still think about my ex a lot, and it’s for the better it stays in my head because we had a toxic love. ‘I don’t want you to stay, but I can’t watch you walk away… you’re better off a fantasy.’ That ‘goodbye I’ll see you in my dreams’ is the perfect attitude for me to hold.
