What's This? - Fall Out Boy

Christmas is just around the corner so I have declared this Christmas Week at Covering the Mouse! Each day this week will feature a special Disney Christmas cover song for your enjoyment! We begin this week with What's This from Disney's stop-motion Halloween/Christmas movie Nightmare Before Christmas.

What's This is the song Jack Skellington sings when he discovers Christmas Town. He has the wonder and excitement of a littel child as he sees the magic of Christmas, something he's never experienced in Halloween Town. The song was originally written and performed by Danny Elfman and this cover version was rearranged by pop/punk group FALL OUT BOY.

Fall Out Boy's arrangement is great! I was so against it when I first heard that they covered this song. I know that this quartet from Chicago has had a few hit songs and a double platinum album but I'm not really a fan of the group so I was not looking forward to hearing their take on one of my favourite Disney songs. But once I heard it I quickly changed my tune! It's probably one of the best Disney covers I've heard! I especially like the character that Patrick Stump puts into his vocals. He has great range and makes the song super fun.
