Have A Very Merry Birthday Sir Danny Elfman!!!







Daniel Robert Elfman was born this week on May 29 in 1953. Danny is an American musician, most notable for composing musique for TV and films. He was also the lead singer/songwriter for the rock band Oingo Boingo until its demise in '95.

But mainly the reason for our undying adoration for Sir Elfman is his continual collaborations with friend Tim Burton! Not only has he scored all of his films (minus James and the Giant Peach and Sweeney Todd), but he has been nominated for numerous Oscars and won a Grammy for Burton's 'Batman. Which in our opinion he deserved for The Corpse Bride, which we won't get into. But come on, the character of Bone Jangles in the movie Corpse Bride!?

Anyhow, Elfman is wordly known for creating the theme song to the Simpsons. He was also thee voice-over as Jack Skellington in "The Nightmare Before Christmas." He is a true unique-wonder and here's to Danny Elfman on his special day!
