Lady Gaga collaborates with Tag Team and MC Hammer in a Tim Burton-directed music video, adding her rendition to the lineage of Addams Family songs following her debut as Rosaline Rotwood on Wednesday's season 2.
In a fitting blend of spooky and stylish, pop superstar Lady Gaga has released a new video for her song 'The Dead Dance', marking her long-awaited cameo in the streaming series 'Wednesday'. Directed by Tim Burton, the video is a visual treat that showcases Gaga's unique musical style, which is perfectly suited to the eerie atmosphere of the show.
The video opens in stark, black-and-white, setting the tone for a haunting dance number. Gaga, dressed in a goth-y haunted doll costume, can be seen jerkily dancing amidst animated baby dolls. The song, co-produced by Gaga, Andrew Watt, and Cirkut, goes from sultry and spooky to eminently danceable, reflecting the show's blend of darkness and fun.
Gaga's involvement with 'Wednesday' began after a scene from the first season set to her song 'Bloody Mary'. The new song, 'The Dead Dance', was written by Gaga, Watt, and Henry Walter. The music for the second season of Wednesday on Netflix, besides contributions from Lady Gaga, was composed by Daniel Rosenfeld, also known as C418.
The video for 'The Dead Dance' features a Beetlejuice style color burst at the end, adding a touch of Burton's signature whimsy to the eerie visuals. Gaga's musical contribution to 'Wednesday' is a departure from the more light-hearted tunes like MC Hammer's 'Addams Boogie' and Tag Team's 'Addams Family (Whoomp)'.
'Wednesday' season 2, part 2 is currently streaming with new episodes every week on Netflix. Fans of Lady Gaga and Tim Burton alike can watch the video for 'The Dead Dance' online.
