  We use Lagrangian specialization to compute the degree of the Gauss map on
Theta divisors with transversal $\mathrm{A}_1$ singularities. This computes the
Gauss degree for a general abelian variety in the loci
$\mathcal{A}^\delta_{t,g-t}$ that form some of the irreducible components of
the Andreotti-Mayer loci. We also prove that the first coefficient of the
Lagrangian specialization is the Samuel multiplicity of the singular locus.
