Daniel Robert "Danny" Elfman is an American film composer, singer, songwriter, recorded producer, and actor, who was the former frontman of the new wave band Oingo Boingo from 1976 to 1995 and is well known for creating the theme song of the popular Fox animated sitcom, The Simpsons.
Other Disney work
In 1986, his band Oingo Boingo performed at Videopolis as part of Grad Nite. It would not be the first time the band performed on the stage, as the stage had previously been used for Steve Wozniak's US Festivals, on which Oingo Boingo performed in both September 1982 and May 1983. The stage was moved to Disneyland in 1985 as part of the Videopolis night club, which has since been rethemed to the Fantasyland Theatre.
Danny Elfman would re-arrange his Nightmare Before Christmas score for the Haunted Mansion Holiday attraction overlay in 2002. He would also score Mystic Manor for Hong Kong Disneyland and provide vocals for the singing helmets and tikis.
