The power of television! Yet again, Netflix proves its influence over the music industry as fan edits of Wednesday have caused an old Lady Gaga song to climb in popularity.
In 2011, Lady Gaga truly was the moment with the release of her sophomore studio album 'Born This Way', now a non-single from the record 'Bloody Mary' is having its moment all thanks to the new Addams Family adaptation.

One scene in particular that has everyone talking is Jenna Ortega's iconic dance as Wednesday Addams, it didn't take long for fans to repost the rewatchable moment all over social media.
Many fan edits of the deadpan dance feature the 'Bloody Mary' track (with some even using a sped-up version), and we have to say that the decade-old Lady Gaga tune really matches the aesthetic of the show!
While the original song to play in the background of the unforgettable dance scene was 'Goo Goo Muck' by The Cramps, many of the videos circulating online have replaced it with the eerie song in question – the beat fits perfectly!
