I was thinking: "There should be something to make zombies go completely strait." SO then it hit me: Flesh on Stick Hats! Flesh on Stick Hats have an odd crafting:
L= Leather Helmet
F= Fishing Pole
R= Rotten Flesh
B= Blank
F R B
L B B
B B B
These look like leather caps, with a stick pointing out, and a string hanging down with rotten flesh on it. You can wear it as a hat, but it isn't a good idea, because it lures in zombies from up to 50 blocks away. You can put it on villagers to increase the range of zombies chasing after them by double. Put it on any other mob, including animals, to make zombies chase them, making them a good way to escape from zombies. Animals will run away from the zombies when wearing this item. There are some mobs you can't put this on.
-Bats
-Chickens
-Slimes
-Witches
-Enderman
-Ghast
-Blaze
-Magma Cube
-Ender Dragon
-Wither
-Horse
To put this item on mobs, simply throw the item, and a mob will pick it up. If a zombie gets a mob that is holding this item, it will kill the mob, and the hat will be destroyed. Now on to the real reason of these hats: Putting them on zombies. When a zombie picks this up, it will wear it, and run in the direction it was in when it obtained the item. It will ignore all mobs and attacks, and will go on for a maximum of five minutes, until it eats the flesh, and reverts to a leather cap, and will remain on the zombies head. They ignore all things around them, so if you are cornered by a zombie against a lava pit and have one of these, throw it at them and get out of he way, and they will go into the lava, though this is a waste. If you kill the zombie while the hat is still whole, the hat will be dropped, but will have a certain amount of damage, depending on how long the zombie had it on. This can be used for crazy weird redstone gizmos, like if you have ever seen videos like a weird way to get a porkchop, there could be a new video called a weird way to get rotten flesh. Overall, this can either be a blessing, or a curse. Note that if the zombie touches you, you won't take damage, and if the zombie attacks you or the mob who has the hat from the front, the hat will take damage.
I don't know if rotten flesh is a reasonable item seeing that it is zombie flesh (Zombies prefer living flesh). Maybe putting beef, pork, or chicken on the hat might make more sense. Other than that I like the idea
The concept seems to be interesting, but I don't support because it's too OP. Think about it - zombies are now the most annoying thing in the world since the last update. Mojang WANTS zombies to be difficult and hard to deal with. If you can just put a hat on a pig and then run away, won't that defeat the purpose of zombies? A balancing change would be for zombies to follow it ONLY when it can't see a player - then it would be useful for distracting zombies, but only when you're a certain distance away or behind a wall. This would also be useful for zombie farming.

Why Minecraft mobs should NEVER have multiple attacks:
- No other PC mobs do. - Mob behaviour is intended to be simple.
Why you should NOT name new "special ability" weapons as "XXX Swords":
- No other swords have special abilities. - Make a new kind of weapon.

But when are you going to ever have one in your inventory and a pig conveniently nearby when you are being swarmed? It's not likely.

One thing - add a picture. That'll make the entire post.
But those are all flesh.

Not that I'm a zombie or anything. *shifty eyes*
Edit: Might make adventure maps too easy though
Because I'm only 11
