[@MysterySteve]

Man, over the course of 25 years he never lost a fucking *drop* of the character. So much passion and talent.

[@imaginatenation3697]

Ikr, he is so awesome

[@paperbag0018]

If anything he got better!

[@daltysmilth]

I think because so much of Ken is in the character. Other than the fact that Oogie Boogie is totally evil and Ken Page is a super nice guy.

[@dukeofrodtown1705]

IKR?

[@sealy1]

It’s insane to be able to keep a voice for 30 years, it’s really impressive

[@mizzysparrots4874]

This is one of the best performances I've ever seen, ever. And it looks like he really enjoyed doing it.

[@MumrikDK]

That song must be funny as shit to perform.

He must love that role if he keeps coming back to voice Oogie Boogie in everything

Could be a compliment because the mayor really didn't like the word, Jolly and also because they live in Halloween town plus the mayor did admit he didn't like Christmas and specially said: i knew this christmas thiing was a bad idea

[@HeyItsNest]

Because oogie boogie is thicc and has the right

[@tranqle73]

Halloween town has very different standards of beauty, I imagine. If your ugliness makes you scary, then that’s good. In Santa’s case, Oogie Boogie thought he was JUST ugly.

[@sithotaku]

In the world that Oogie Boogie comes from ugly and disgusting and rotting is hot ...even Jack saw Christmas Town as bizarre, confusing, and creepy at first.... hell his interpretation of stockings was live snakes

[@maxmeidl4909]

In loving memory of Ken Page (1954 - 2024) I will miss traveling to California and seeing him every year at the Hollywood Bowl singing his iconic Oogie Boogie song

[@kiryuandgodzillagirl]

He had a wonderful voice

[@lillianconard8629]

WAIT HE DIED 😭😭😭

[@beastybacon199]

Oogie Boogie never dies!

[@TheChildofAuraReborn]

I've never heard someone put that much passion in his voice while singing as this man. He went all out for that song. Edit: People in the comments are bringing up other songs. Yes, I agree all those songs ALSO have emotion. I phrased my comment wrong, I got it.

[@steelekiller8540]

TheChildofAuraReborn it’s the original actor. But he puts more emotion now than when the movie came out

[@pokelynke8232]

TheChildofAuraReborn Ken was originally a stage actor. I loved him in cats. Now I wanna watch both movies.

[@genevaechols7935]

He also does the voice of king gator in all dogs go to heaven

[@ianw4379]

I smiled the entire video....that's so freaking cool. He sounds great.

[@ValkyrieDaisy95]

Me too XD I couldn't stop grinning.

[@Dausuul]

What I love is being able to watch his facial expressions. He has so much fun with this song. You can't really get that playfulness from a burlap sack.

[@ValkyrieDaisy95]

Well Oogie does have facial expressions and it must have been hard to do with a puppet that has no eyes, but you do know when Oogie's having fun with the way his eyes are, like Jack really. Danny and Ken both sing with emotion so you can tell how they're feeling when they're singing for their characters, but I agree, watching Ken be Oogie on stage is more fun I think because it's like he IS Oogie right there and then and you just see all the fun he's having. x3 The sass and the confidence just shoots out of him and really does make you smile xD I smile every time I watch this clip. You can't help but laugh when he gets into his jazzy bubble and starts doing his thing XD

People yell about pulling out phones during concerts and shows saying "just live in the moment" but we wouldn't have this without people who want to record the moment. This is fantastic and I'm so glad they recorded it.

[@JackRipperiscoming]

See nobody says that at concerts people say that about stupid shit on the internet 😂

[@mrwasabi6888]

Jeremiah Fargo are we not gonna talk about how amazing this Camera’s zoom is tho

[@supabwad]

I'm not. We could easily have this memory without KZbin. Easy. The theater sells tickets, these pieces of paper you buy with money....then they let you in the room with the performers, that's actually where it was filmed from. Some people want to see the show and not some idiots phone in front of them. Money was exchanged, so i can understand that point of view. Try for yourself. You'll be blown away and think you yourself, "that asshole on the internet was right and i should really do this more!" It won't take long, I'd say 5 minutes into your desired attraction takes the stage.....and right after you get that final level of excitement and settle in to enjoy your evening....some of the crowd starts talking and pulls out their phone. These people do this for a living. It's a performance.

[@Silburific]

@@supabwad Because everyone can attend every concert, always. Everyone has the time and disposable income to drop everything and travel all over the country, if not world, just to see someone perform live. Ah yes, I really should spend hundreds on plane and concert tickets because that's how much five minutes of enjoyment are worth. Thank you for opening my eyes, asshole on the internet.
