Spiderman, firemen, Elfman

[azurelunatic]

Today, marxdarx took Nephew to go see Spiderman. There were firemen in the movie, which made Nephew extraordinarily happy.

Meanwhile, I decided to go on an Oingo Boingo marathon.

Marx, upon return home, inquired after the music. The name seemed familiar from somewhere. Then he realized that Danny Elfman had been in the Spiderman credits, for music...

Danny Elfman has done almost every Tim Burton movie score (except Ed Wood). He's one of the biggest film composers around.

Cool.

Not being much of a movie buff, I don't know these things on my own, but it's nice to know now!

Yeah, and he did the Simpson's Theme!

AND

Not only did he write the score to Nightmare Before Christmas, but he also wrote all the lyrics and songs, and sang the parts of the main characters.

He's come a long way since Oingo Boingo, ne?

I can see that I've got a lot of happy music research to do...
