Ad Infinitum Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wouldn′t you like to see something strange?
Come with us and you will see
This, our town of Halloween
This is Halloween, this is Halloween
Pumpkins scream in the dead of night
Trick or treat till the neighbours gonna die of fright
It's our town, everybody scream
In this town of Halloween
I am the one hiding under your bed
Teeth ground sharp and eyes glowing red
I am the one hiding under your stairs
Fingers like snakes and spiders in my hair
This is Halloween, this is Halloween
Halloween! Halloween! Halloween! Halloween!
In this town we call home
Everybody hail to the pumpkin song
In this town, don′t we love it now?
Everybody's waiting for the next surprise
'Round that corner, man hiding in the trash can
Something′s waiting now to pounce, and how you′ll
Scream! This is Halloween
Red 'n′ black, and slimy green
Aren't you scared?
Well, that′s just fine
Say it once, say it twice
Take a chance and roll the dice
Ride with the moon in the dead of night
Everybody scream, everybody scream
In our town of Halloween!
I am the clown with the tear-away face
Here in a flash and gone without a trace
I am the "who" when you call, "Who's there?"
I am the wind blowing through your hair
I am the shadow on the moon at night
Filling your dreams to the brim with fright
This is Halloween, this is Halloween
Halloween! Halloween! Halloween! Halloween!
Halloween! Halloween!
Tender lumplings everywhere
Life′s no fun without a good scare
That's our job, but we're not mean
In our town of Halloween
In this town
Don′t we love it now?
Everybody′s waiting for the next surprise
Skeleton Jack might catch you in the back
And scream like a banshee
Make you jump out of your skin
This is Halloween, everybody scream
Won't ya please make way for a very special guy
Our man Jack is King of the Pumpkin patch
Everyone hail to the Pumpkin King, now!
This is Halloween, this is Halloween
Halloween! Halloween! Halloween! Halloween!
In this town we call home
Everybody hail to the pumpkin song
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
That wasn′t that terrifying
The lyrics of Ad Infinitum's "This is Halloween" from the movie "The Nightmare Before Christmas" tell the story of a spooky town named Halloween. The song starts with an invitation to explore the town, giving the impression that it is not an ordinary town. The residents of Halloween town are introduced as showcasing their unique spookiness, screaming, and making scenes. They are all preparing themselves for the night of Halloween which seems to be the main event for them.
As the song progresses, the singer introduces themselves as one of the town's inhabitants hiding under your bed, stairs, or even your nightmares. The lyrics describe the creatures' physical features in detail to create a terrifying image of these characters in the minds of the listeners. The song continues to portray Halloween town as a scary yet remarkable place where you never know what you might encounter around the corner.
The last two verses of the song hail Jack, the Pumpkin King of Halloween town. The song emphasizes the importance of the Pumpkin King in the town while calling everyone to scream and hail him. The lyrics express that despite being mean or scary, the people of Halloween town are just trying to have some fun and create a good scare. The la la las at the end give a sense of finality and end the song on an eerie note.

I love how Melissa Bonny's voice does about every concievable thing that voices do, all in one song.

@Trevor PriceIf 'Screaming' and 'Not screaming' count as 'Every conceivable thing that a voice can do' lol
