Watch Lady Gaga become a creepy doll in new video for ‘The Dead Dance’

September 3, 2025 by WDNY Radio

Lady Gaga and director Tim Burton have teamed up to create the perfect video for the start of the spooky season.

The mostly black-and-white video for Gaga’s new song “The Dead Dance” starts with shots of creepy dismembered dolls. Then we see Gaga, dressed as a doll with a cracked porcelain face, mounted on a wall with a bunch of other dolls. She starts shaking and quivering and finally breaks free, then begins to dance and sing.

In the song, Gaga sings about how a breakup isn’t going to break her down.

“I’ll keep on dancing until I’m dead/ I’ll dance until I’m dead/ ‘Cause when you killed me inside, that’s when I came alive,” she sings. “Yeah, the music’s gonna bring mе back from death/ I’m dancin’ until I’m dead.”

Gaga created “The Dead Dance” to go with the new season of the Netflix show Wednesday, which Burton executive produces and occasionally directs. The second half of season 2 is streaming now, featuring Gaga in a cameo role as Rosaline Rotwood, a legendary teacher at Wednesday’s school, Nevermore.

It’s not clear if “The Dead Dance” will remain a standalone single, eventually end up on an expanded edition of Gaga’s album Mayhem or be part of some other project.

NBA YoungBoy made donations to two nonprofits in Dallas, where he kicked off his Make America Slime Again tour. WFAA reports he donated $25,000 to both Urban Specialists and Manifest Freedom.

“I just want to start this tour on something real,” he said, according to WFAA. “This is bigger than music – it’s about peace, growth, and giving people a real chance to change their lives.”

The money will help both nonprofits continue on their respective missions.

“This charitable donation will help our organization continue in the work of assisting schools and families who fall victim to senseless acts of violence,” said a spokesperson for Urban Specialists, whose vision “is to disrupt the trends of violence and poverty that exist in urban communities,” per the website.

“It means the world to see YoungBoy, someone who’s beat the odds and is rewriting his own story, use his platform to pour back into the community,” added Manifest Freedom of the rapper, who was pardoned by President Donald Trump earlier this year for gun-related charges. “His donation to Manifest Freedom is a bold investment in freedom, redemption, and real second chances…YoungBoy gets it. He’s lived it. And we’re honored to have his support in helping others build legacies of their own.”

Manifest Freedom works toward giving individuals and communities impacted by the criminal legal system another chance to survive and thrive.

NBA YoungBoy’s Make America Slime Again tour kicked off Monday and supports his 2025 MASA album. The next stop is Friday in Austin, Texas.

Jack Osbourne blasts Roger Waters over Ozzy Osbourne comments

September 3, 2025 by WDNY Radio

Jack Osbourne is firing back at Roger Waters in response to the Pink Floyd founder’s comments regarding Jack’s late father, Ozzy Osbourne.

Waters brought up the Prince of Darkness during an interview with The Independent Ink, saying, “Ozzy Osbourne, who just died, bless him, in his whatever that state that he was in his whole life, we’ll never know.”

“Although he was all over the TV for hundreds of years with his idiocy and nonsense,” Waters continued. “The music … I couldn’t give a f***. I don’t care about Black Sabbath, I never did. I have no interest in biting the heads off chickens or whatever they do.”

The interviewer did point out that Ozzy was known for biting the head off a bat, not a chicken. In responding to Waters, Jack seems less concerned with him mixing up flying creatures than he is with the overall tone of the comments.

“Hey Roger Waters F*** You,” Jack writes in a Facebook post. “How pathetic and out of touch you’ve become. The only way you seem to get attention these days is by vomiting out bulls*** in the press.”

The younger Osbourne adds, “My father always thought you were a c*** – thanks for proving him right.”

Jack’s sister Kelly Osbourne previously criticized pro wrestler Becky Lynch‘s comments regarding Ozzy and his hometown, calling her a “disrespectful dirtbag.”
