stop-motion animation musical, and Danny Elfman owes the full credit for not only writing the songs and composing the score, but also writing all the lyrics and even performing a number of roles in the cast.
The opening song is, however, the most important one because it introduces us to the movie. Here is Christmas Carnivals with information on The Nightmare Before Christmas song.
'Twas a long time ago, longer now than it seems
In a place that perhaps you've seen in your dreams.
For the story that you are about to be told
Began with the holiday worlds of old.
Now, you've probably wondered where holidays come from.
If you haven't, I'd say it's time you begun.
For holidays are the result of much fuss
And hard work for the worlds that create them for us.
Well, you see now, quite simply that's all that they do--
Making one unique holiday, especially for you.
But once, a calamity ever so great occurred
When two holidays met by mistake.
The funny and spirited song prepares us to encounter the residents of the Halloween Town, headed by the “Pumpkin King”, Jack Skellington. It also introduces us to the theme that the movie is about and braces us for the chaos that we are likely to be in as we watch Jack’s exploits to bring in Christmas in his Halloween Town. Don’t miss out to catch up on the movie with your family this Christmas and hum to the tune of The Nightmare Before Christmas song. Celebrate this festive season with
