The Dead Dance is a recent hit by Lady Gaga. The song, although sounding spooky, is really a song about a dramatic breakup. Based on an older song of hers, Bloody Mary, it uses synth pop and disco themes to create a 80s feel that really gets you moving. The accompanying music video was directed by Tim Burton and was filmed on The Island of the Dolls, a hotspot for dark tourism in Mexico holding the world record for the world’s largest collection of haunted dolls. The song has been compared to Micheal Jackson’s Thriller and has garnered a positive reception by critics.
My favorite lyrics:
I’ll dance until I’m dead/‘Cause when you killed me inside, that’s when I came alive/Yeah, the music’s gonna bring me back from death
