Was The Dead Dance a Mistake?

[Creyk 17,989]

After all the surprise segments and creative performances Gaga did for the song, many of us were hoping Halloween was going to be the day when The Dead Dance explodes and finally gets its wings and begins its cultural dominance. However, the dead dance didn't even go top 50 on Spotify yesterday and in fact, 3 Gaga compositions outshined it. 

#96 (+69) The Dead Dance - 1,752,986

Gaga didn't do a follow-up to Abracadabra from the main album because she was holding off for this song. Would we have been better off with Garden of Eden or How Bad Do You Want Me becoming a single instead?

[GregJA 5,298]

No

[Madame Goo Goo 3,962]

Yes

[Ladle Ghoulash 28,141]

No. It’s a good song and a welcome addition to the album and era.

[OMonster 14,767]

Yes, it's one of her worst singles - up there with Stupid Love and The Cure.

[HeAteMyh3art 1,825]

no cus i like it and thats what matters

[elsamars 3,589]

Yes it was a mistake.

Instead she should have shot a music video with Tim Burton for Bloody Mary TikTok remix.

[Yaaaas Gaga 1,012]

No. If anything it's a smart move because the song will no doubt feature on the Halloween playlists each year. Maybe Gaga will do a Christmas song at some point as well.

[Elizabeth 486]

Nope! I think it's fun! Might not've been the biggest Gaga song this halloween but still a great addition to her repertoire in my opinion.

Borderline offensive to mention it in the same sentence as The Cure.

The Dead Dance is the superior and BETTER version of "Heads will roll" by the yeah yeah yeahs

So no, it was not a mistake. The GP is just tasteless

Love both songs, but agree that the GP is tasteless

NO! It came out the week I defended my PhD in Law 🥺 it helped me go through it. Hence it will always have a special place in my heart 

[LadyxGaGa 2,553]

no!!!

 

we have to accept and realize we are in a new age the big explosive debuts aren’t where the money is at

 

its in the legs, it’s the fact a song is still supplementing an album 10 years it’s senior 

 

it’s how current pop stars are establishing dominance isn’t the number on the chart per se but how long ur staying on it’s why billboard is making dumb rules left and right 

 

like imagine if dwas was still on the charts it would deff be top 50 if not top 30 like by the time we start coming up on her next release (+3 years) 

 

i think gaga is rly smart on capitalizing on halloween
