Is this a Danny Elfman song?

[jopurgator]

Hey guys,

I have been searching the whole internet to find out wheter a song used in a youtube clip is a song composed by Danny Elfman. I joines your forum to ask you guys, because I haven’t seen and heard all of Elfmans music. I hope that posting this link is no copyright infringement.

So please, listen to the music used in this clip and tell me wheter it is from Danny Elfman:

Thank you very much,

Posting videos such as this are OK. Only youtube vids which are a music track and a picture are prohibited. (Because the track has not been edited or overdubbed or anything, it sounds exacty as it would on the CD (only the sound quality is usually poor)).

And no. This isnt Elfman, it’s just generic scary halloweeney music as far as I can tell. It sounds to be mostly electronic.

There are of course many TV programmes, films and videos such as this that will have re-used tracks from Danny’s previous scores or other works, a complete list of which has yet to be compiled (I keep hearing bits of Elfman underscoring Top Gear, for instance. (It’s a UK car show, if you cant be bothered to Wiki it, I wouldnt be)). So, though you might not be able to tell if a track has been re-used for something like this, you can be sure whether on not it was compsed specailly by checking Danny’s list of works below, which is a pretty conclusive list.

I don’t know about a comprehensive list of Elfman’s score bits in other films and stuff, but I’ve made a pretty comprehensive list of Oingo Boingo songs in films and TV shows that can be read here:
