Here's a spoof song I was just inspired to parody. This is to the tune of Jack's Obsession from Nightmare before Christmas by Danny Elfman.
Disclaimer: I do not own Dark Shadows or Nightmare before Christmas. Dark Shadows belongs to the Dan Curtis Estate. The song Jack's Obsession from Nightmare Before Christmas was by Danny Elfman. Parody words are by me.
Something's up with Depp
(TIM BURTON STAFF):
Something's up with Depp,
Something's up with Depp,
Don't know if he'll ever get back in step,
He's all alone over there.
It's like he escaped Corpse bride.
Waiting for the estate's word.
Hope the project hasn't died
Something's up with Depp.
Something's up with Depp.
(JOHNNY DEPP)
Dark Shadows time is buzzing in my skull
Will it let me be? I cannot tell.
There are so many plots I cannot grasp
When I think I've got it, and then at last
Through my skinny fingers it does slip
Like a voodoo doll in a fiery grip.
Several plot points I'm not quite getting.
Though I try, I keep forgetting
Like a storyline long since past.
Vampire in an instant, Time Travel in a flash.
What does it mean?
What does it mean?
Beyond the little music box
A coffin under secured locks.
These plot twists and ...cars confuse me so
Confound it all, I love it though!
Spooky Series, nothing more,
But something's hidden through a crypt door.
Though I do not have the key,
Something's there I cannot see. (like all the in breeding)
What does it mean?
What does it mean?
What does it mean?
Hmm...
I've seen this TV show so many times
I know the characters and I know the lines.
I know theme music all by heart.
My heart's so full, it's tearing me apart.
As often as I've watched them, something's wrong
So hard to put my bony finger on...
Or perhaps it's really not as deep
As I've been led to think. (It was the 60s after all)
Am I trying much too hard?
Of course! I've been too close to see!
The premise is right in front of me!
Right in front of me!
It's simple really, very clear
Like mist and ghosts drifting in the air.
Invisible, but everywhere.
Just because I used to dream about it
Doesn't mean I can't scheme about it.
You know, I think this Dark Shadows thing
Is not as tricky as it seems.
And why should Frid have all the fun?
It should belong to anyone!
Not anyone, in fact, but me!
Why, I could seduce virginal Vicky
And there's no reason I can find
I couldn't handle Dark Shadows time.
I bet I could improve it too!
And that's exactly what I'll do!
Hee,hee,hee!
Eureka! I've got the film rights!
This year DARK SHADOWS will be OURS!
(BURTON'S STAFF)
YAY! WOOHOO!
(JOHN AUGUST: confused)
What's Dark Shadows?
(DEPP and BURTON)
(To John August) You're fired!
BURTON:
Get Seth Grahame-Smith on the phone!
(Depp continues to laugh maniacally)
