"Oogie Boogie's Song," from the hit Disney stop-motion animated film The Nightmare Before Christmas, is a mischievous and quirky song with a swingy jazz melody. It was written and produced by Oingo Boingo member and famed film composer Danny Elfman; it was sung by actors Ken Page (Oogie Boogie) and Ed Ivory (Santa Claus). Danny Elfman is known for many other film soundtracks and scores, including Good Will Hunting, Batman, Beetlejuice, and Spider-Man. The lyrics of "Oogie Boogie's Song" deal with the villainous Oogie Boogie's kidnapping and taunting of Santa Claus, setting the stage for the major conflict of the film. Santa and Oogie Boogie go back and forth with each other for the duration of the song; while Oogie Boogie antagonizes him, Santa tries to beg and bargain for his release. While the song itself was not released as a single, the soundtrack album for The Nightmare Before Christmas reached number 64 on the US Billboard album charts and won a Saturn award for Best Music while also receiving a nomination for Best Children's Album at the Grammy Awards.
