Zombieboy clears, imo. The bass line, the groovy disco guitars, the new wave rhythm guitars, the vocals, the hooks…delicious. A perfect pop song.

Sexxx Dreams had a lot of potential but the Swinefest version is far superior than the album version. It didn't need the extra vocals in the chorus spoiling the synths.

Both tracks have a great bassline.

Zombieboy is just perfectly executed in everyway: the instrumental arrangements (that groovy bass alone and those funky guitars!), the production, the vocals, that bridge... Chef's kiss.

This. It completely killed the chorus imo :traumatica:

Sexxx Dreams purely because of "I can't believe I'm telling you this but I had a couple of drinks and oh my god"

I don’t know, I think both are good but they’re not too great imo

I voted Sexxx Dreams cause I find it more original and priced better, but Zombieboy is mixed/mastered better

Sexxx Dreams got absolutely ruined on the album version. The bridge is the only change that I like, but even that wasn’t necessary.

The borderline goofy-sounding additional vocals in the chorus may be more “ARTPOP” (which is the only reason I can imagine why they were added) but they take all the subtle sexual mysterious vibe out of the song and largely castrate it. 
 

Zombieboy wins. It’s the definition of a song I didn’t know I needed til I got it. My third most played from Mayhem after Debra herself and of course Vanish Into You.

Lowkey giving it to Sexxx Dreams.

That back and forth whisper/singing on the verses? Singing to her lover and whispering to her affair? That's freaking genius :giveup: 

Also, I just saw a TikTok of someone that put these two songs together like

"Goodbye I'll see you in my dreams...LAST NIGHT DAMN YOU WERE IN MY SEXXX DREAMS"

Pretty cool :gayhat:

Ngl I don’t even go up for Sexxx Dreams like that, but I’ll never understand the hate the album version gets. IMO the new bridge is superior and the the call and response in the chorus is sexy and catchy as hell 🤷‍♂️

I feel the same way about MANiCURE, tbh. I think the vocal takes on the studio version are better, I don’t *hate* that the original post-chorus is the bridge, and honestly, my biggest gripe is the mixing. The sci-fi whistles getting completely lost in the back of the mix is travesty.

MANiCURE is absolutely superior on the album! I love how that one turned out!

I do disagree about Sexxx Dreams chorus though I think it got ruined (worse than the other songs that got changed)
