Netflix shows are bringing several songs back to the charts, years after their releases, like Kate Bush's "Running Up That Hill," The Cramps' "Goo Goo Muck," and now Lady Gaga's "Bloody Mary" is receiving the same treatment.
A scene many will associate with "Wednesday" is the dance scene where the protagonist, Wednesday, dances to "Goo Go Muck" by The Cramps, which caused everyone to go on their music streaming apps and look up the song.
While "Goo Goo Muck" has enjoyed its newfound popularity among listeners, the show's fans took to TikTok to share their spin on the dance scene, using a different song-" Bloody Mary" by Lady Gaga.
"Bloody Mary" is from Lady Gaga's sophomore studio album, "Born This Way," and while the album is known for boasting some of the singer's biggest hits like the title track "Born This Way," "Judas," and "The Edge of Glory," "Bloody Mary" was sorely overlooked for years.
However, after fans used the sped-up version of the song, everyone started streaming the song and even pushed "Goo Goo Muck" to the side.
According to Billboard, "Bloody Mary" streams skyrocketed after going viral, and thousands of streams ahead of "Goo Goo Muck."
On Nov. 11, Lady Gaga's song had 474,000 streams, while The Cramps' song only had 23,000 streams; however, by December, the gap had widened.
"Bloody Mary" was recorded to boast over 43 million streams, while "Goo Goo Muck" with just a little over six million streams as of Dec. 9.
Overtake
With the number of streams, Metro Weekly reported that "Bloody Mary" managed to work its way into Spotify's 200 most streamed songs in the world by December.
According to reports, "Bloody Mary" taking the lead from "Goo Goo Muck" could be attributed to several different reasons.
The first, and perhaps the biggest roadblock for the song, is that "Goo Goo Muck" is not readily available on TikTok.
Another reason could be that Lady Gaga's song is simply more fitting with Jenna Ortega's choreography.
However, despite The Cramps' song not performing as well as "Bloody Mary," they seem to be very happy about the song coming back to life decades after its release.
"It's a really amazing, fun little bonanza," said Jim Shaw, who was given publishing rights to the song. "I wasn't familiar with the show, but I was happy to make the deal, and caught by surprise on all this."
"I don't know what this leads to. I was thinking of Pulp Fiction. Remember some of the really cool songs that got dusted off?"
