YES

[@skunkman9815]

If I where to make a parody I would replace the word heck with fuck

[@i_am_crunch]

1:25 "why does nothing ever turn out like it should?" Legit the best line in the song. Shows how the real world is

[@raw_riot_6917]

For real, when I hear that I always think of how that's just my luck.

Same im feel like Jack

[@fiberknox]

That's my favorite part

[@AnteeksKuka]

You have Reaper as your profile picture. And then you said that. I can just imagine Gabriel saying that to Jack Morrison when he's dead xD Anyways that's a pretty sad part.

this is the song that played in my head when I dropped my food on the floor. "what have I done? what have I done?" :(

[@jazzvisualart3060]

"Well! What the heck? I went and did my best! And by God, I really tasted something swell, thats right!" This song always makes me feel better.

[@michaelfitzsimmons8393]

I never really realized until right now that the entire movie is an allegory to life itself. How you can fail even though you tried your best. Yet, instead of letting it get to you, turn it into a learning experience. Going back to what you're actually good at and all the wiser, having experienced failure and making you better than you were before.

[@Hunterreaper4444]

This is such an inspirational song

[@AlashiaTuol]

My favorite part of this is just the _range_ of his voice. He goes from this pleasant, poetic, delicately accentuated, dusty voice with a relatively mellow tone, but intersperses it with a booming, piercing voice that crackles and rings like thunder. It's really amazing.

[@TheRibottoStudios]

I could listen to Jack sing for HOURS.

[@davidmoore5484]

Listened to this as a kid growing up. Now as an adult it just hits on a whole new level with a completely different meaning. What a great song!

[@thesejokesarentfunnyyetthe9522]

Okay, I came here from a playlist marked “evil/villain songs” and... what the hell? Jack isn’t a villain. He’s a monster, a skeleton, the Pumpkin King, but he’s not doing it to be antagonistic. All those years, he was just playing the role that he was supposed to be in... Except, until he wanted more. He just wanted something to bring him the joy that he thought that he’d lost, something that many people have been a victim of... So, as “scary and villainous and bad” the monsters of Halloween are, they’re not supposed to be evil nor do they have ill-intentions. They just want to bring their own version of joy and happiness with the rest of the world, though others aren’t as inclined to understand what they love about it all. And as for Jack... Can we really call HIM a monster or a bad guy or a villain when he, perhaps, is more human than all of us? If so, why must it be such a crime to simply want to do something great, something he put passion into, something that he wanted to bring JOY to everyone... Poor Jack.

[@alessandro5932]

The true villain of The nightmare before christmas is The Oggie Boggie Man

[@GriffintheMKGeek]

Facts

[@pan_panic_central05]

He was an accidental villain. Jack went down a bad road but then he realized what he was doing and went to make things right and be the pumpkin king again.

[@lauracarroll1866]

Jack is good

[@sebastianruocco2137]

@@pan_panic_central05just like the grinch that he steal Christmas but he change his heart that his heart grow big and bring back gifts and stuff I like jack skeleton that he saving holiday leader gets holiday door save Christmas and save Santa thank him for saving his life in ps2 game I like this game (Also there making grinch horror movie I hate childhood turning horror movie 😒)

I remember when I watched this movie so many times when I was a child. Couldn't show it to my friends tough... They were terrified XD

[@Lucy-nw4im]

[@itsahumanperson6174]

Indeed.

[@Rebecca095]

It's not terrified

[@savannahb6307]

Same with me! I ended up sneaking the dvd to her house bc I wanted her to watch it! I was responsible for her nightmares.

[@jadynaustin9719]

Ommm i would play it every night and go to sleep to it

[@thelonegothamite2384]

This song is very relatable. When u do the best you can for yourself and to leave a new mark, yet fail, you shrug it off and hit back harder for next time

[@cacarunkingdom3191]

Fr this is literally my theme

[@aburaraiger1855]

Does anyone else think this movie would make a great Broadway musical?

[@lilyhope432]

YES

Better than "Let It Go" from Frozen

[@ivanchary]

Gitz The-Hedgehog oh yeees

[@ricardoquezada108]

Gitz The-Hedgehog To be honest, I still like "Let it go", but I like this way more. Even then it's not my favorite in the movie, it's "Jack's Lament"

[@DJTagz09]

♡Gitz The-Hedgehog♡ timeless classic, that's what this is...

[@ricardoquezada108]

***** Agreed. Sometimes the best way to stop something from becoming popular is to just ignore it. Just look at Hatred (the video game).

[@alexgray727]

Donald tRump is better than Frozen as a whole

[@nikolaisclownshoes1886]

1:12 am i the only one who thinks it kinda sounds like a Joker? :D :D

I dunno

[@AikoSilver]

Lol i think the music is so reminiscent of batman TAS theme that I want to say it is the joker

[@suckup]

no

[@krystalharwood4541]

he sounds like phantom...wish he were the singing and speaking voice of the phantom of the opera in the alw cartoon version if there was any

Hate to double post, but: for a "Demon of light" (Quote from Jack's Lament), he's very kind & honerable & polite.... At times :P
