[@edwheezer6231]

I love all the foreshadowing at the end of this song. The ornaments breaking as they fall off the tree, and the lights shattering one by one due to Jack's overbearing enthusiasm...all hint at the destruction that will follow Jack's overzealous attempt to take over Christmas.

[@chelsearunyan]

D*** Jack’s voice is amazing. I never knew that Chris Sarandon only did the voice while Danny Elfman did the singing.

[@kirjom2505]

Jack Skellington and Grinch seem to be similar expect on opposite directions: while Grinch hates Christmas and wants to destroy it, Jack is obsessed with Christmas and wants to own it.

[@ImperialWrath3456]

I like how this is one rare movie where the music plays constantly, instead of stopping at all...

Leitmotifs: Obsession The Obsession motif is actually an interesting take on the Jack motif as it uses a higher-pitched, repetitive, more curious version of the theme.

the moment when you realize the voice actor for jack is Prince Humperdink from Princess Bride

[@puffball4484]

danny did jack's singing voice but someone else did his speaking voice. or did danny play this humperdink?

[@i8aflower]

Chris Sarandon did the non-singing voice of Jack. He was also Prince Humperdink in Princess Bride. Wow that was a serious head trip. I can't believe this movie 23 years old.

[@ASoundMostRelaxing]

dont ruin jack like that

[@Jackson-hp7rt]

23 YEARS!? Damn, this movie's only a couple years older than me!

I don’t know if it’s intentional, but I feel like this song has a message of not trying too hard on something when it’s easier than you think

[@BejeweledLotus]

I remember others not liking this song as much as I did. It's one ofy favorite from the movie. It's musicals and lyrical genius tbh. Danny Elfman is a genius among humanity. If I met him I'm pretty sure I'd faint and die lol

It’s hard to believe that Chris Sarandon only did the voice. While Danny Elfman did the singing. Danny Elfman really nail it making it sound like was Chris Sarandon.

[@grampaglasses]

Think of Jack as like a living puppet, such as Pinocchio. He doesn't age or get sick. But I'm guessing if he becomes too badly damaged, he will actually lose his "soul" and actually die. That's just my theory.

[@canalkevinjordan]

I think so, too, but he also explodes and then falls out of the sky at the end, so he would have to be hurt a lot.

[@johmastefferson8736]

uh here Something's up with Jack Something's up with Jack Don't know if we're ever going to get him back He's all alone up there Locked away inside Never says a word Hope he hasn't died Something's up with Jack Something's up with Jack Christmas time is buzzing in my skull Will it let me be? I cannot tell There are so many things I cannot grasp When I think I've got it, and then at last Through my bony fingers it does slip Like a snowflake in a fiery grip Something's here I'm not quite getting Though I try, I keep forgetting Like a memory long since past Here in an instant, gone in a flash What does it mean? What does it mean? In these little bric-a-brac A secret's waiting to be cracked These dolls and toys confuse me so Confound it all, I love it though Simple objects, nothing more But something's hidden through a door Though I do not have the key Something's there I cannot see What does it mean? What does it mean? What does it mean? Hmm... I've read these Christmas books so many times I know the stories and I know the rhymes I know the Christmas carols all by heart My skull's so full, it's tearing me apart As often as I've read them, something's wrong So hard to put my bony finger on Or perhaps it's really not as deep As I've been led to think Am I trying much too hard? Of course! I've been too close to see The answer's right in front of me Right in front of me It's simple really, very clear Like music drifting in the air Invisible, but everywhere Just because I cannot see it Doesn't mean I can't believe it You know, I think this Christmas thing It's not as tricky as it seems And why should they have all the fun? It should belong to anyone Not anyone, in fact, but me Why, I could make a Christmas tree And there's no reason I can find I couldn't handle Christmas time I bet I could improve it too And that's exactly what I'll do Hee, hee, hee Eureka! I've got it

"HEE HEE HEE HEE HEEEEEE!!! EUREKA!!! I'VE GOT IT!" He sounds more like he's lost it.

[@samcochran8203]

For the longest time I thought he was saying "Like a snowflake with a fiery grin" Knowing the lyrics now, mine wouldn't be a bad substitution considering this song is about Jack obsessively trying to make sense, wring some type of logic out of Christmas, yet it just keeps evading him and becoming even more convulted and frustrating the harder he tries to make it make sense

[@dragoncatentertainment7462]

I can hear markiplier singing this too easily. His vocal range matches Jack Skellington so perfectly!!

[@burningsexuality1540]
