The Mother Monster has any number of creepy songs that would fit with this month’s theme (“Monster” and “Teeth” and “Judas” come to mind), but this one I think takes the cake. The delicious, cyanide-laced cake. We hear stories all the time about women who correspond with, and even marry, incarcerated serial killers. And while that may be the extreme, I think there are a lot more of us who are in fact drawn by “bad boys” (or girls.) The people whose darkness speak to the darkness within us. It’s a bad choice, but one that is often made freely, a surrender to temptation, needing the bad and accepting the corruption that comes with it.
Here’s Lady Gaga with “Bad Romance.”
