Inspired!

What better to think about in July than winter? I really like this song, as non-heterosexual as admitting that may make me, since musicals aren't usually associated with testosterone. But this whole movie is great, from the cinematography to the stop-motion animation to the character development to just being a great piece of imagination come to "life." It was groundbreaking at the time.

Danny "Oingo-Boingo" Elfman is an incredible talent, although his "sound" is becoming tiresome. He needs to reinvent himself, and I know he has the skills to do so. But the Simpson's bouncy-horn theme is played. Nonetheless, I'll contradict myself and present this, just because it's good. I like the touch of having the short, fat elves going by singing "la-la-la-la" and modulating into a minor near the beginning, and the commitment to the song/character Elfman gives.



And Fall Out Boy's version, which is simply awesome(I can't imagine this being an easy song to cover):
