Did the TBT lyric video come out the same day as the song was released? or did it come later?
Pretty sure the lyric video was there the day it was released.
But the actual video came later.
I heard it'll debut tonight on pop up video.

I know it has a skeleton in it but that + the fact it happened to be filmed in Mexico and rumored to be announced in mid-October were the the only indicators it was linked to the DOTD.
The song itself has nothing to do with the DOTD and it would be odd if the video was a DOTD theme to be honest. That is unless the video and song are linked to a promo of some sort around the DOTD theme.
Also, That type of theme is really only relevant for the week or so that Halloween and DOTD are celebrated(you could argue for the month of but this video was never going to be ready for October). Why shoot a video that has nothing to do about the song for a celebration period of 1 week? Just doesn’t add up

Maybe if we all call 1-800-DIAL-MTV today VJ Adam
Curry will play it tonight on Dial MTV!
Interference all October: clearly this video is intended to be released around Day of the Dead / Halloween
Interference after video is not released in for Day or the Dead / Halloween: duh, the song isn't about that so it wouldn't have made sense

I agree, I don't believe that Get Out is an "official" single yet. So far, if you pre-ordered the album, you were just able to get that song off the album.
There is no separate "single" to purchase like TBT has. It has no single edit that would have a different ending and not just Kendricks part getting chopped off halfway through.
So, thats not a bad strategy. Give people some freebies to pre-order the album, and then in a couple weeks release it to radio with a video right before the album is released.

Is it really necessary to create a new thread for this when we already have one dedicated to the track itself?
It's a specific question, there's a lot going on in those threads and as a result specific questions tend to get buried from time to time.

Well, there could be a tie in for The Day of the Dead. "Lincoln's ghost" is a metaphor for the death of the ideal America, and Lincoln is quite literally a dead person. The Day of the Dead is a holiday that celebrates the dead. Perhaps Lincoln's ghost becomes the personification of that death, and this video celebrates the idea of America that once was, and that some people seem to be letting go of....

I don't think that GOOYOW is a single, or at least not yet. This is from the U2.com article announcing the album:
Notice how YTBTAM is explicitly mentioned as the single, but not GOOYOW or The Blackout. Thus it's likely not being promoted as a single.
Maybe they watched the video and were like "damn yo, this shit is corny as fuck"

That's true, but at least with 'Red Hill', U2 had the foresight not to actually release it. Instead they released the 'With or Without You' video, which, in retrospect, turned out to be possibly the best decision of their career (other than hiring Paul McGuinness).
