    It's cool how the chorus sounds gibberish but actually has a meaning: "The magical words “amor” and “morta” stem from Latin and mean “love” and “death” respectively which is also revealed in the last line. Additionally, “amor” is “roma” backwards, linking back to the “spells” in Bad Romance, if you will." -Genius 😄

      Its how it’s written in Portuguese, though “morta” means “dead” and not death.
      If it were “death” in Latin, it would spell “mortem”.

    11:16 I can explain those “silly words” a little: amor, morta are words of Latin descent meaning love, death; hence “in her tongue she said death or love tonight”.

    If you want another Gaga song that’s full of hooks you have to react to her song Venus. Abracadabra reminded me a lot of that song in that it also has a lot of distinct sections with many hooks.

    "I don't know if that is the chorus or the prechorus" he said on hook 1 of 4 😏
    But I agree, they're all catchy enough to be the chorus in their own right and different enough to make the contrasting sections explode out of each other with each transition. It's like she took 4 hit songs and smashed them together.
    To me it tells you everything you need to know about the song that you have a post-chorus that good, and yet you can't even play it through all the way a second time without interrupting it to launch the bridge half a bar early 😂
