經(jīng)典《圣誕夜驚魂》好奇心十足插曲What's This?

【資料圖】

《圣誕夜驚魂》是蒂姆·伯頓的經(jīng)典之作，其怪誕的人物造型和詭異的故事情節(jié)成就了一部非主流的圣誕童話(huà)。男主人公杰克第一次跌落圣誕小鎮(zhèn)時(shí)驚異地目睹白色圣誕的歡樂(lè)祥和，好奇與欣喜溢于言表。這首What"s This便是伯頓的老搭檔音樂(lè)怪才Danny Elfman自編自唱的力作，流暢的旋律和有趣的歌詞把主人公的心理和圣誕的氣氛描繪得活靈活現(xiàn)。


What"s this?
by Danny Elfman

What"s this? What"s this?
There"s color everywhere
What"s this?
There"s white things in the air
What"s this?
I can"t believe my eyes
I must be dreaming
Wake up, jack, this isn"t fair
What"s this?

What"s this? What"s this?
There"s something very wrong
What"s this?
There are people singing songs

What"s this?
The streets are lined with
Little creatures laughing
Everybody seems so happy
Have I possibly gone daffy?
What is this?
What"s this?

There are children throwing snowballs here
instead of throwing heads
They"re busy building toys
And absolutely no one"s dead

There"s frost on every window
Oh, I can"t believe my eyes
And in my bones I feel the warmth
That"s coming from inside

Oh, look
What"s this?
They"re hanging mistletoe, they kiss
Why that looks so unique, inspired
They"re gathering around to hear a story
Roasting chestnuts on a fire
What"s this?
What"s this?

In here they"ve got a little tree, how queer
And who would ever think
And why?

They"re covering it with tiny little things
They"ve got electric lights on strings
And there"s a smile on everyone
So, now, correct me if I"m wrong
This looks like fun
This looks like fun
Oh, could it be I got my wish?
What"s this?

Oh my, what now?
The children are asleep
But look, there"s nothing underneath
No ghouls, no witches here to scream and scare them
Or ensnare them, only little cozy things
Secure inside their dreamland
What"s this?

The monsters are all missing
And the nightmares can"t be found
And in their place there seems to be
Good feeling all around

Instead of screams, I swear
I can hear music in the air
The smell of cakes and pies
Is absolutely everywhere

The sights, the sounds
They"re everywhere and all around
I"ve never felt so good before
This empty place inside of me is filling up
I simply cannot get enough

I want it, oh, I want it
Oh, I want it for my own
I"ve got to know
I"ve got to know
What is this place that I have found?
What is this?
Christmas Town, hmm...
