i think that small syllable THE adds will be crucial to the bridge, i can imagine her repeating DO THE DEAD DANCE (sounding like doodoodeddens) a few times, that would be very catchy and also its literally a command for people to do the dead dance  tiktok is gonna blow up

Wait. Are you thinking she will say that or did you listen to the leak?

Well hopefully the leak is longer then, with a dancebreak and final chorus. Otherwise it would be an anticlimax 

The song is definitely longer than the leak. Hoping there’s a bit more to the bridge a slight bit more to the intro and as you said a final chorus. I hear a lot of French EDM influence to the track. Production is a bit hard to ascertain and I feel there are some other vocals in the bridge not being made out in the leak. Sounds like a banger can’t wait to hear it in full with all of the production. Definitely feels like it fits on mayhem and the most prominent use of French EDM she spoke about when marketing the album while still having the funky feel of Zombieboy, Kill For Love, Shadow of a Man, etc. I can slightly understand comparisons to Venus, slightly. It sounds slightly like an ARTPOP inspired track through the lens of Mayhem. Has the strongest EDM influence of any tracks this era.

I hope you are right. However, if the leak is the full thing, it would be weird to end the song:

Spoiler

By saying “now do the dead dance” twice without extending the song to actually dance

excited by hearing this song soon, very excited and hard too

Some quick conclusions about this:

The leaker was right at least about "The Dead Dance" release date, but this also means they are not chasing charts with this, we'll only get 2 days of tracking, which is totally fine, idgaf about the charts on this one, I just want more music, more visuals and more gaga and we shouldn't expect a big chart impact, at least, not at the start.

Still has the potential of being a huge hit in the following weeks, much like DWAS didn't do very well initially but it started dominating aftwerwards. 

Music NOT the bling  

It can grow through the week like Abracadabra did until it explodes to a new peak on Friday with NMF playlisting and streaming promo. It will peak during its 2nd week so they definitely have a release strategy.
