3. My favorite Xmas movie of all time!
"Tender lumplings everywhere
Life's no fun without a good scare!"

4. "What's this? What's this? "
Edited on Mon Dec-13-04 09:45 AM by Richardo
What's this? What's this?
There's color everywhere
What's this?
There's white things in the air
What's this?
I can't believe my eyes
I must be dreaming
Wake up, Jack, this isn't fair
What's this?

What's this? What's this?
There's something very wrong
What's this?
There's people singing songs

What's this?
The streets are lined with
Little creatures laughing
Everybody seems so happy
Have I possibly gone daffy?
What is this?
What's this?

There's children throwing snowballs
Instead of throwing heads
They're busy building toys
And absolutely no one's dead

There's frost on every window
Oh, I can't believe my eyes
And in my bones I feel the warnth
That's coming from inside

Oh, look
What's this?
They're hanging mistletoe, they kiss
Why that looks so unique, inspired
They're gathering around to hear a story
Roasting chestnuts on a fire
What's this?

What's this?
In here they've got a little tree, how queer
And who would ever think
And why?

They're covering it with tiny little things
They've got electric lights on strings
And there's a smile on everyone
So, now, correct me if I'm wrong
This looks like fun
This looks like fun
Oh, could it be I got my wish?
What's this?

Oh my, what now?
The children are asleep
But look, there's nothing underneath
No ghouls, no witches here to scream and scare them
Oh ensnare them, only little cozy things
Secure inside their dreamland
What's this?

The monsters are all missing
And the nightmares can't be found
And in their place there seems to be
Good feeling all around

Instead of screams, I swear
I can hear music in the air
The smell of cakes and pies
Are absolutely everywhere

The sights, the sounds
They're eveywhere and all around
I've never felt so good before
This empty place inside of me is filling up
I simply cannot get enough

I want it, oh, I want it
Oh, I want it for my own
I've got to know
I've got to know
What is this place that I have found?
What is this?

Christmas Town? Hmm...



Some of Danny Elfman's best work. :thumbsup:

8. Thank you
You just accomplished what Hallmark and Walmart could not, brought out the Christmas Spirit in me. I'm going to rent Nightmare in the next few days. That might inspire me to do some shopping.

9. "Some of Danny Elfman's best work." Indeed.
Where the hell are his Best Score/Best Song Oscars, I ask you? He's been writing some of our best movie music for years!

13. He's treated like crap because he's not had any musical education.
It's a damn shame, since he's my very favorite contemporary composer.

6. LOVE that movie!
There're children throwing snowballs here instead of throwing heads
They're busy building toys and absolutely no one's dead . . .

10. One of my all time favorites!
I love this. Everytime I see the Oogie Boogie Man I think of Cheney. No heart, just bugs and icky stuff. Great, fun movie with great, fun music. I love Tim Burton and Danny Elfman together.
