Wombat 189 Posted November 2 Share Posted November 2 (edited) As we all know, Gaga released Harlequin about 1 year ago, an album featuring one of her best ballads. Did it have a potential to become a hit? Was Happy Mistake truly, a mistake? perhaps not making it a single is actually a very sad mistake.. interesting… Edited November 2 by Wombat I've become a notorious being Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creyk 18,059 Posted November 2 Share Posted November 2 I love seeing the trend I started. Feels like Gaga thoughts is alive again! About this one, yes, it definitely WAS a mistake. BOG should have been on harlequin. It would fit in better with the rest of Harlequin quality-wise. And if Happy Mistake was on Mayhem it would receive more attention, which it deserves. It also fits the theme of the album better than BOG. 6 1 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lextyr97 20,209 Posted November 2 Share Posted November 2 (edited) I understand why it’s on Harlequin. Thematically and with its placement it really works, BUT god damn does it fit like a GLOVEEEE on Mayhem after The Beast. Seriously, if you haven’t heard it in that context, do yourself the favor.

gemein3 1,369 Posted November 2 Share Posted November 2 I think it’s one of the most gorgeous and haunting songs Gaga’s ever written. I don’t listen to it often because it makes me emotional lol Its biggest mistake was not being in Mayhem. Agreed with those above me ^ 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bpmMonkey 6,518 Posted November 2 Share Posted November 2 HM doesn't fit the Mayhem theme at all. Sonically, sure, but other than that it would have no place on the record. I am very happy she found place for it on Harlequin tho and she even performed it live. It's a beautiful song and could have been tied in more with the movie.

Lyrically it feels like a sister of Perfect Celebrity/The Beast/HBDUWM with the reflections on her fame and the disconnect between Gaga & Stefani. 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
faysalaaa 5,034 Posted November 2 Share Posted November 2 Die With A Smile should have been the Joker album single. And Happy Mistake should have been on Mayham. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
