What's this? What's this?
There's color everywhere
What's this?
There's white things in the air
What's this?
I can't believe my eyes
I must be dreaming
Wake up, Jack, this isn't fair
What's this?
What's this? What's this?
There's something very wrong
What's this?
There's people singing songs
What's this?
The streets are lined with
Little creatures laughing
Everybody seems so happy
Have I possibly gone daffy?
What is this?
What's this?
There are children throwing snowballs here
Instead of throwing heads
They're busy building toys
And absolutely no one's dead
There's frost on every window
Oh, I can't believe my eyes
And in my bones I feel the warmth
That's coming from inside
Oh, look
What's this?
They're hanging mistletoe, they kiss
Why that looks so unique, inspired
They're gathering around to hear a story
Roasting chestnuts on a fire
What's this?
What's this?
In here they've got a little tree, how queer
And who would ever think
And why?
They're covering it with tiny little things
They've got electric lights on strings
And there's a smile on everyone
So, now, correct me if I'm wrong
This looks like fun
This looks like fun
Oh, could it be I got my wish?
What's this?
Oh my, what now?
The children are asleep
But look, there's nothing underneath
No ghouls, no witches here to scream and scare them
Or ensnare them, only little cozy things
Secure inside their dreamland
What's this?
The monsters are all missing
And the nightmares can't be found
And in their place there seems to be
Good feeling all around
Instead of screams, I swear
I can hear music in the air
The smell of cakes and pies
Is absolutely everywhere
The sights, the sounds
They're everywhere and all around
I've never felt so good before
This empty place inside of me is filling up
I simply cannot get enough
I want it, oh, I want it
Oh, I want it for my own
I've got to know
I've got to know
What is this place that I have found?
What is this?
Christmas Town, hmm...

What did he do to poor Bridget Fonda? She hasn't been seen since they got married.

this performance is fr talented

Danny Elfman and Tim Burton are the most talented filmmakers working today

This is crazy I watched this movie on Halloween and today, on Christmas.. and I celebrate NEITHER OF THEM 🤯

It's amazing how Jack Skellington is voiced by both Chris Sarandon (talking) and Danny Elfman. (singing) They sound the same.

And I'm singing along, this song, iconic👏🏽

Greg Prooooooppppps !

Man, i cant believe how his voice has hardly changed.

I thought this was Elton John

He’s an incredibly talented man

He looks like Elton John.

Noooo!!! Worlds are colliding !

Brilliant!!

Did you notice he was the only singer in any of these videos who didn’t need the prompter? He still knows the words he wrote 30 years ago. Danny Elfman, ladies & gents

will never forget seeing this live 2 years in a row. so amazing and the energy danny gives off singing this is amazing!! so sad i haven’t gone and there won’t be another one this year

While I can't count how many times I've seen the movie and listened to these songs, I never realized how difficult this specific song must be to perform live. He is a true magician and an amazing performer (on top of everything else).

49 people are out of their minds.

I didn’t know he sang for Jack!!!

I dream of one day singing Jack's Lament with Danny Elfman.

My favorite song for Halloween >0<

Me: "Who is Dann--"
(Starts singing)
"--Y OH MY GOD"

Danny Elfman is magnificent. Glad I got to see him in concert when his band Oingo Boingo was still going in the 80's. He's the greatest.

He does sound like Chris Sarandon who voiced Jack. I wonder why he didnt sing Jack as well.

I want a love story like this of jack's and Sally's

The Spanish version ( Spain - the correct spoke and wrote it) voices actors are way better cos puts more love with. It's ok the original version.

Hermoso

Danny Elfman is a god

The pumpkin king!!!!! Jack , I’m watching the nightmare before Christmas now on freeform!!! I love this!!

I still dont understand how 2 dudes voiced Jack Skellington

I would play the drums

Oingo boingo!

I can't believe that DANNY ELFMAN IS SINGING THE VOICE OF JACK SKELTON IN THE MOVIE GREAT JOB DANNY ELFMAN IS

What's this? what's this? There's people in lockdown what's this?
They're supposed to be festive activities!!!
