Danny Elfman

Tue Sep 14, 2004 3:47 am

definitely one of our time's best musical genius(es). his work is everywhere- he composed the Simpsons intro, Batman music, Spider Man music, Flubber, Beetlejuice, Chicago (the movie), Red Dragon, MIB, Spy Kids, Mission Impossible (including the theme), whatever.
Quite very good.

You can't forget that he wrote the lyrics and sang many of the parts in The Nightmare Before Christmas as well.

He did the clown too? I didn't know that!

I once saw a marching band show made out of music he composed, and it was really cool! Easily one of the best I've seen.

Oh, I thought this'd at least mention Oingo Boingo.

My favourite songs are Little Girls and No Spill Blood. >: )

I'm working on an OotP musical to the tunes of NMBC. It was Eo who suggested it, believe it or not. The Oogie Boogie Song works REALLY well for Umbridge's first class.

Yeah, I was gonna bring that up too. He was in the band Oingo Boingo (my brother taught me that). I've only heard Little Girls, the lyrics are kind of... O_o, but the music in the back is catchy.

Oh, wow, I would love to see a show like that--or better yet, play in it. :P

Where did they have a marching band of that and is it annual? I wish my high school would do that. *dreams* <3 I love his music for movies, it's always so perfect.

I love Danny Elfman...I wanted to do a project on him last year but my teacher wouldn't let me because he wasn't old enough :roll: :(

o.O That's a weird reason that you can't do a project on someone. How old is he anyway, and was the limit?
