Spooky season is here - why isn't TDD smashing?

[Bronco 12,711]

Like others have said the simple issue is they tried to manufacture a viral moment. Which rarely works, and never works when its so blatantly done. 

But also - outside of the US, nowhere really cares about Halloween. Its a massive US event, but even in similar countries like the UK - people go out on the closest Friday/Saturday night to Halloween and the gays throw a harness on and pretend their a vampire. But that's about it. 

Like, I live in a cul-de-sac in a residential suburban area by a playing field and we have a shitload of young kids around. We never get trick or treaters.

It’s being a cute little The Cure/Hold My Hand sized hit, which is really all it deserves to be.

Because the song is simply not that good, yall gotta accept that, neither the fanbase nor the GP likes it that much mainly bc the chorus is kinda underwelming, wich isnt usual from gaga

Because the song is truly not good and brings nothing to the table. I wouldn’t even care if I never heard this song again.

So what you’re saying is, we need to all come together and make Halloween a staple holiday everywhere outside of the US so that Gaga can become the Halloween Queen around the globe. Non-US monsters, get to ****ing work

I feel TDD song needs a remix in the vein of these 2 spooky gems.

I have to agree. And it’s a shame this got such a push when almost every other track on the album is better. 

Lots of people are saying they are just happy to get more content. I don’t even agree with this because the song, video and performances have done absolutely nothing for me.

Its a tiktok song, why do you think its gonna smash? or have longevity? the only people that think this way are out of touch music CEOs and managers

Bc the world is so horrifying that spooky season isn’t fun and light hearted like it is supposed to be, maybe 

 

lol no in honesty it felt like they tried to duplicate Bloody Mary’s moment and it just didn’t work

I keep saying this but keep getting ignored:

The song is smashing in Latin America. Doing the video on The Island of the Dead Dolls was a wonderful decision.

yes, and it's doing well actually. But if you want a smash, classic Halloween song then it better be enigmatic and fits the atmosphere of the occasion like Thriller, Bloody Marry, etc. 

I would add Bad Romance, easily. The MV alone is a serve for Halloween.
