This morning I finally watched the Robert Rodriguez movie Spy Kids (which has been in my Netflix queue approximately forever as a "wait" until showing up unexpectedly last week in my mailbox) and was really surprised by how exactly Floop's song sounded like it belonged on the Nightmare Before Christmas soundtrack.  I looked it up and oh, they're all by Danny Elfman.  I like the song (and Alan Cummings' performance) but I was a little jarred by the similarity.  Is there a point at which this reaches the level of self-plagiarism?
Somebody did nice a video of the song that I recommend checking out.
As for the movie itself:  If you somehow have missed this one, see it.  Now.  It's a lot of fun.
Wow, that really did sound like Nightmare Before Christmas!!
ReplyDeleteMom, glad I'm not the only one who thought that!
