The stress and tone of the phrase change between the two - the first one has phrasal stress on 'dead' and has falling pitch; the second has phrasal stress on on 'dance' and has a rising pitch.

And also I feel like the accusation that the inclusion of the “do the dead dance” in the bridge functions *exclusively* for TikTok, as if Gaga has never adopted the role of a quasi-villainess or used those types of spoken interludes in her songs before, is kind of disingenuous. IMO there’s nothing particularly out of character or inauthentic about the song itself. I can’t say I’m obsessed with it, but to act like it’s insulting, patronizing, or hollow marketing in and of itself feels a bridge too far. the difference (to me at least) is that sour candy is produced well, it's thrilling and electrifying and a really skilful homage to that genre of dance music, the beats on dead dance are so gentle and obedient which don't do anything to help the unexciting lyrics etc. sour candy has genuine drama 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just aren't in for the mood for them right now. Pick another one and hush. Let people enjoy things. Let Gaga soar. people are allowed to have reasonable opinions!!! you sound like a cult member!!!! saying "let people enjoy things" is essentially saying only people who like something are allowed to speak, which is psychotic when we're talking about things that are objective. u say "let gaga soar" like she's some struggling starlet who needs her big break like just shut up 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SC is a generic 90s house GarageBand beat where Gaga raps a verse on a BLACKPINK song. At least TDD has some interesting instrumentation: groovy bass licks, funky rhythm guitars, string section over the bridge, 80s synth groove on the 2nd verse, dramatic proggy dramatic quasi-operatic outro… Edited Wednesday at 08:06 PM by Ladle Ghoulash We have forgotten our public MANNERS 2 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hide contents I know nobody asked but I will take any opportunity to use my degree Oh, the question was in jest! (Well mostly lol) As written in the lyrics, I get that it's imperative. But I do like it when you can find layers of meaning within songs whether they're intentional or not. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
