Exclusive: Danny Elfman Sings "What's This" From The Nightmare Before Christmas

[@XXLSSBBW]

Danny Elfman is like a gothic Elton John.

[@Thomas_H._Smith]

Why is that just the perfect way to describe him?

[@bfsjunkie6115]

😆 🤣

[@doodmonkey]

I love them both but I could never put them in the same category.

[@jadeb3414]

Yes!!

[@Miyahideko]

Im dying 😂

[@richardmills9359]

Danny Elfman amazes me by being an absolute genius of a film composer AND an incredible singer.

[@Thomas_H._Smith]

And song writer too.

[@FievelJ69]

@@Thomas_H._Smith Actually if I am right Danny wrote everything having to do with the music, including lyrics then after all that went ahead and song it for the film too. Everything which required Jack of course he song, but wrote all the music too. Yeah he like if I got it right, did a lot for the film, he ROCKS. Singer of Weird Science. ;)

[@reaganp.1654]

there's something about Danny that makes me grin from ear to ear when I see him preform.

[@DreadCentral]

I would love to get a chance to see him perform live still!

[@closinginonclosure]

That's called homoerotisism

[@gabbyclark1807]

@@DreadCentralI would too ive loved the movie since I was little ❤

[@sad_doggo2504]

2:00 I can almost hear him thinking, "Fuck this microphone stand, do they really expect me to stand still doing this?" lol

[@lexi_does_gacha]

init tho

[@famousrapper8561]

Danny elfman is so cool. He's not just a composer but also a singer and a stage performer.

[@greennuke1827]

He’s just amazing

[@abigailrauen3352]

his voice is still and will always be amazing. hes just breathtaking

[@MrTokidoki420]

I love watching his gestures while he sings so animated. Love it.

[@sparkle11231]

Absolutely! I ran this video 3 times just now.

[@CCCC-cb2ty]

I want to hear this man say... “we’re getting the band back together”

[@madisonheath6460]

I’m crying

[@TimothyONeill_84.]

Not sure that’s ever going to happen anytime soon, to be honest I don’t think that he has that kind of energy now that he had back in the day

[@cleberferreira4850]

I dream with this day :-)

[@petterrong1590]

[@ShrekThaOGEE]

“OOH LOOK ! WHATS THIS? “ I’m watching it right now😂

[@cloudofthought]

His range is amazing. Listen to his solo song "Gratitude." In parts of it, he sounds like Freddy Mercury.

[@canci]

Oh wow! He really does!

[@ki8990]

Just went to that song and he does! I can't believe no-one else has picked up on it, so I commented.. Unless they have and I just haven't seen the comment, lol.

[@Gods2ndFavoriteBassPlyr]

This guy is supremely talented. A visionary.

[@MrBezl]

I love his hand motions. Only Danny elf man can just lift his hands up and I know exactly what he’s trying to say without words

[@kristinmoore693]

Just got tickets for the performance in LA 2021. I’m so excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😄😄😄😄

[@aguchoshoah9817]

How it was?

[@Jacksmusicshack]

I can't believe he's in fantastic shape for his age.. I'm glad he's taking care of himself

[@danielb8877]

Absolutely sensational and pure movie history. This song and many others in The Nightmare Before Christmas are right up there with every iconic classic.

[@DreadCentral]

Agreed. These songs have become classics for sure for both holidays.

[@greedyanimal3148]

I never knew he was in a band until now. I've heard of Oingo Boingo but I didn't know he was in it

[@MetallicStar6]

I didn’t know Danny Elfman could sing. Now I’m glad I do know.

[@hipsterelephant2660]

Check out Oingo Boingo if you haven't, it's the band he did prior to being a Film Composer.

[@heyitzLou]

“What’s this?“ but everyone is on MDMA at Coachella.

[@ki8990]

It's weirdly good listening to him sing in Jack's voice when he's older because it's like Jack has aged with him and would sound like this now.. (if this was done relatively recently)

[@swampjajc]

Thats how you sing a hard song to sing to perfection!

[@lenen6832]

who ever disliked was maybe the grinch :V

Danny was so getting into the character of jack 👍

[@Jacksmusicshack]

That man is amazing.. he recently did a live show and wow that guy is in amazing shape!!!

[@MeteoXavier]

Wow, that creepy redheaded guy in the white wifebeater shirt singing creepy electro ska songs really cleans up nicely! (I really hope I won't have to explain the non-seriousness of this comment to anyone.)

[@mikeydubbs8565]

Four of the dislikes are from Lock, Shock, Barrell and Oogie Boogie. The fifth is from Santa. Still hasn't forgiven him.

[@XXLSSBBW]

More like a gothic version of Elton John.

[@minanabil4767]

He's really amazing here,I can't believe that he is the same person who composed the crappy music of Justice league

[@jswatch9270]

@dis0rian besides we are getting a snyder cut soon

[@starfalchion4404]

He was brought in very late on with very little time. Great music takes time and he wasn’t given that amount of time.

[@iceomistar4302]

He was given 4 weeks and was composing to storyboards. As someone who has composed music before, writing a full orchestral score takes lots of time.

[@jamesagradi6820]

Am I the only one who kept cringing when he'd go off key? And he was off by alot.

[@mikeydubbs8565]

1. He’s performing with a live orchestra. 2. He was extremely anxious about this performance because of what this number meant to so many people. 3. Let’s see you do it, buddy

[@mikeydubbs8565]

Also, not once was he off key. Of tempo a few times, but yeah, he hit every note

[@amigapreciosa3553]

Love it!!! Amazing!!! So wonder and it makes me so happy!! My kids use to wanna watch this movie all the time and I’d play for them!! Such memories 🔥🔥🤍🤍🤍🤍
