The song "Finale" from the movie "The Nightmare Before Christmas" is a musical track that encapsulates the resolution of the plot. It begins with the chorus repeating the words "Jack's OK, and he's back, OK," giving the audience an insight into Jack's fate. The second half of the song features the characters singing about the strange events they've witnessed, trying to make sense of what just happened. But despite everything, Jack and Sally are reunited in the end. The song finishes off with Jack stating that he would like to join Sally by her side because they are meant to be together.
The chorus in the beginning of the song serves as a summary of what happened- Jack is okay and returned to Halloween town. Some of the characters, like Mr. Hyde, are mystified by what they just experienced. The chorus then goes on to express their joy of singing again about Halloween in their town. The continual repetition of "What's this?" gives the impression that the characters are confused or are seeing things they have never seen before. The song then takes a slight pause with Jack's spoken word poetry, where he requests to join Sally. The song then ends with Sally and Jack's affirmation of love.
