Lady Gaga follows up her Wednesday season 2 debut as Rosaline Rotwood by joining Tag Team and MC Hammer in the long legacy of Addams Family songs with a creepy new music video directed by Tim Burton

Published on:

Hot on the heels of her guest appearance as the ghost of Rosaline Rosewood in Netflix’s Wednesday, pop superstar Lady Gaga has released an appropriately goth-y video directed by the show’s creator, filmmaker Tim Burton.

The video, for the song ‘The Dead Dance’, features Gaga jerkily dancing in the guise of a seriously creepy, undead-like haunted doll, to a song that goes from sultry and spooky to eminently danceable without missing a beat.

Here’s the video for Lady Gaga’s ‘The Dead Dance’:

Of course, with Tim Burton at the helm, the video is bound to be both whimsical and eerie, and that’s exactly what’s delivered with a stark, black-and-white opening which evolves into a long dance number involving animated baby dolls and an eventual burst of Beetlejuice style color.

Written by Lady Gaga, Andrew Watt, and Henry Walter, the song was co-produced by Gaga herself along with co-writer Watt, and Cirkut.

Gaga first got involved with Wednesday after a scene from the first season featuring a dance number set to her song ‘Bloody Mary’. With her long-awaited cameo in the streaming series now out, her influence on the show has finally come full circle.

In terms of music, there are few artists who’d be as suited to Wednesday as Lady Gaga, who has consistently cultivated an air of creepy weirdness alongside her massively successful string of absolute bangers. It seems very much like a match made in Heaven… Or maybe the Netherworld.

Wednesday season 2, part 2 is currently streaming new episodes every week on Netflix.
