Henry was the director for Nightmare Before Christmas which was written by Tim Burton...







Wasn't NEARLY as creepy as the book, and despite what people say this IS a childrens movie. Aside from the creepiness of an Other World, where things are the same, but better, and then it all goes down hill and everything turns into a nightmare, this movie is very-family friendly. :3


"Oldies Band"?!?! I'll snatch you bald for that!!
...Just as soon as I find my cane...and get my power lift chair to work...Right after I find my Nirvana t-shirt.
...I need my nap.
(Yes, They Might Be Giants did do the music for Coraline.)


Well, specifically, the "Other Father Song" was.

I suddenly feel a great swell of sympathy for my mother. Now I know how she must have felt, having me refer to her music as "oldies".

Well techincally they would be an oldies band cause when they started out together they were a two man band. John F. playing the guitar, and John Linell playing the Accordian.
YES IM NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO LIKES TMBG!!!!! I havent heard that song before but I've seen them in concert!!! John Flansbur was a blast... AND JOHN LINELL IS AWESOME!!!!!! They are coming back to NoDa in June and my fam is probably going to see them again!!! Does anyone know David Byrne? or should I say Talking Heads?

Jill....I sincerely know how my mom must have felt now when I called her music oldies. I feel bad for that now! ;)

Oh I really liked that song even before I saw the movie.
Um...I don't at all see how They Might Be Giants starting as a two person band makes them "technically" oldies.
Also I don't really think that they will ever be considered "oldies" since "oldies" is more of a genre than a description of how old a song is. Eventually they'll just be lumped in as part of the first wave of "alternative," most likely. Oldies will still be oldies.
And on a separate note, I was really curious about Coraline.

They...didn't start in the '50s. The band started in the '80s, as Holli up there said. People born in the '50s typically had their own children in the '80s.

Oldies is something entirely different. Its become a genre of its own which has a more or less distinct sound, not something which means "more than 10 or 20 years old." I completely believe you that they were a two man band, and they did start in the 80s, but that has no connection to, and in fact completely precludes them from being an oldies band--unless they strove to sound like "oldies," which they didn't.

Ariel...if you look They Might Be Giants up in Wikipedia as you suggested Mike do previously you would see that they started in 1982. They haven't been around as long as you think they have.





I've never liked 3D. When I was two years old, my parents took me to a 3D Michael Jackson concert. Apparently, back then child abuse was legal.
Oh, and may God rest his soul.
