Danny Elfman Catherine O'Hara And The Citizens Of Halloween Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He's all right, let's shout, make a fuss, scream it out
Jack is back now, everyone sing in our town of Halloween
What's this? What's this I haven't got a clue?
What it's completely new, must be a Christmas thing
It's really very strange, this is Halloween, this is Halloween
Where we can gaze into the stars and sit together now and forever
For it is plain as anyone can see we're simply meant to be
The song "Finale" from The Nightmare Before Christmas soundtrack is a song that expresses the joy of the residents of Halloween Town as their leader, Jack Skellington, returns home safe and sound after a horrifying experience of wandering off into Christmas Town. The lyrics "Jack's okay and he's back okay. He's all right, let's shout, make a fuss, scream it out" depict the excitement of the citizens at the return of their beloved leader. They are pleased that he was not harmed, and they show their happiness by shouting and singing.
The song then explores the confusion that the inhabitants of Halloween Town feel when they initially discover Christmas Town. "What's this? What's this I haven't got a clue? What it's completely new, must be a Christmas thing. It's really very strange, this is Halloween, this is Halloween." They struggle to understand the new concept of Christmas and are initially unsettled by the concept. However, their attitude soon changes as they become enamoured by the sparkling lights, colours, and decorations of Christmas.
