I agree. It took me hearing "Applause" on the radio to finally realise that the production, even though it's generic, it's catchy. No one understands any of the words in "Applause." The reason it was a decent hit was solely due to the production. There's nothing "sing-a-long-able" about "Applause." "Do What U Want" is more "sing-a-long-able" but the production is pretty static and stale, not to mention the lyrics aren't nearly interesting enough to keep a listener engaged, so it never really caught on.
Both songs have something the other song needs. Ironic, no?
