Scrapped Gaga Demos - Vampira / Wicked Ways

[dynamite 56,385]

I found the titles of two demos registered for Gaga in 2015/6 (Vampira and Wicked Ways) and I always assumed they were for the scrapped LG5. I hadn't seen anyone else mention them or found any other info even on the Gagapedias which has basically everything.

Associated names: 

Fornario, Thomas
London, Tommy, pseud.
Hogan, Matt

Looking up these names Thomas Fornario was involved with some Brian Newman stuff, and Tommy London and Matt Hogan are from The Dirty Pearls who have opened for Gaga in the past.

Well I just checked again, and found Tommy London has since released them both as his solo singles. It looks like Gaga never wrote on them herself.

I wonder what kind of project they were for?

Vampira, with an "a" is most likely a reference to Maila Nurmi, the woman that's kind of responsible for Morticia and Elvira's iconic looks: 

She brought the "Morticia" look to television before Morticia even had an name. The Morticia Addams we know and love was inspired by her portrayal.

She had a successful career on TV, until she was blacklisted. She tried doing low-budget films to no success. 

Knowing GaGa's nerd obsession with retro glamour, I have no doubts she was referencing Maila with that title. She was also quite daring with her looks, rocking a bald head millenia ago, when it was almost career suicide for a woman to step out of the norm:

I can kinda see Vampira as Abracadabra-esque bop if Gaga got to make it tho... I lowkey want that now

Or they offered them to her originally and she rejected them who knows  she's not listed as a writer and I feel like she co-writes on everything she releases but I could be wrong

Oh this is something! I never knew about this! I will definitely add this to my song document (later because it is late where I live. )

If this was how Joanne originally sounded before she switched I would have liked that 

 

I find it interesting this guy had that neon lights demo too haha

That """demo""" is obvious AI. I don't know why you guys celebrated that "Gaga's" version was fake and his was real, pls
