monketsharona 84,357 Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 Lady Gaga revealed that her part in Wednesday season 2 came after she got a phone call that the show was looking for music: “I immediately had a song in mind called ‘The Dead Dance,’ and I had started working on it. But once I knew it was going to be for Wednesday, I decided that I was going to work on it even more, and I made it extra special for the show. To me, when you know that music and pop culture and Tim Burton all come together with this cast, that’s a very special recipe. After that happened, they asked me if I wanted to be on the show, and I said, ‘Absolutely.’” https://x.com/gagadaily/status/1963234206995128718?t=U0nXYX9OBUaLWQoSbPZ7vA&s=19 15 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That makes sense Yeah it was definitely part of the MAYHEM process before she was involved : same producers, same electronics funky vibes, same horror themed lyrics, instrumentals are matching. It makes sense on MAYHEM. It's a total fit on it being added. Edited September 3 by monketsharona 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
REALITY 77,459 Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 Not surprised that it was originally part of the MAYHEM sessions. It fits in perfectly with the rest of the album 𝔗𝔥𝔢 𝔪𝔲𝔰𝔦𝔠'𝔰 𝔤𝔬𝔫𝔫𝔞 𝔟𝔯𝔦𝔫𝔤 𝔪𝔢 𝔟𝔞𝔠𝔨 𝔣𝔯𝔬𝔪 𝔡𝔢𝔞𝔱𝔥 3 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delulu Rogers 7,449 Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 We don't know for sure if the TDD would be on Mayhem if is wasn't for Wednesday. It could have been just one of hundreds of demos that she was cycling through. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder what will the sl*w monsters say now! I don't think is was ever planned to be on the standard. It was a demo that didn't make the cut but it worked for Wednesday so she finished it. Anyways that's my guess Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OMonster 14,724 Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 We'll never know but I guarantee it wasn't titled 'The Dead Dance' originally. That lyric ("do the dead dance") feels so forced and like an add-on to make it a TikTok dance challenge. I would've preferred the song without that awful bridge and lyric because it wouldn't have made the whole thing feel like an intentional attempt at virality. I can understand though why she'd add that for Wednesday, given BM became a viral dance challenge because of it. She obviously saw this song as an opportunity at recreating that moment but these things can't be manufactured. subtext / fantasy 2 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It lacks the grit and authenticity of most of the other Mayhem songs; it's way too generic. She rightly discarded it (I think) but then picked it up again when she saw an opportunity to try and create another viral moment from Wednesday ("do the dead dance"). subtext / fantasy 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder what will the sl*w monsters say now! Idk if we can say it would have made the album based on this. But it was definitely part of the early Mayhem sessions before she pivoted to the industrial sound on Disease/Pefect Celebrity etc. Timeline wise, she seems to have been working on this track at the very beginning of the recording sessions for what became Mayhem. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
