Hi, I just wanted to tell you about my odd experiance in class yesterday. Because I was in a class joined by a thin wall to another class, you can hear things that are happening in the other one. So, when I was in History, I heard this muisc, although it wasn’t loud enough to tell what it was yet. So as the period went on I listened more, and when it got rather loud I knew, I knew this was Danny Elfman. So, I declared this news to the person beside me who thinks I am crazy (actually he’s not the only one) and I said: “this is Danny Elfman, that music! It’s Danny Elfman” So, someone told me what they thought the movie was. It was Spiderman! I felt special I could tell it was Danny from little bits of music!
April 7, 2006 at 11:08 pm #56826KWashiParticipantI did that one time at an Airforce Exchange base. I have the soundtrack to MIIB, but never have really listened to it. Moreover, I’ve never seen the movie. But I heard it playing and thought….”Sounds like Elfman,” aqnd, of course, it was.
April 8, 2006 at 12:21 am #56827AnonymousInactiveI’ve done that before. On Hallowen my friend and I went trick or treating and one of my neighbors was playing a suite from Beetlejuice and I said, nay, proclaimed “That music! That beautilful music!”
April 8, 2006 at 12:39 am #56829chiiParticipanthee hee I guess great minds think alike! Danny has a very distinguished sound to him, atleast I find. He is just amazing *pokes danny* amazing man he is.
April 8, 2006 at 1:26 pm #56830ThorParticipantDid you find out who played it and why? Was it some sort of “film screening” of SPIDERMAN in the class next to you, perhaps?
April 8, 2006 at 2:49 pm #56831chiiParticipantyea it was, they were watching the movie because there was nothing else to do I guess. They just watched the movie on the TV…

April 9, 2006 at 4:07 pm #56837chiiParticipantyep damn us canadians! We spoil our children with movies when we have nothing else to do. *even though I am one of the children*
April 9, 2006 at 7:27 pm #56838Spider-FanParticipantYeah, Canadians! At least in America, we watch educational videos like “The Lion King” and “Caddyshack.” Shame on you all.
Actually, I did manage to convince my physics teacher to let us watch an educational docudrama called “Journey to the Planets and Beyond” (or, “Space Odyssey: Journey to the Planets,” as it’s known in the UK) for the last two-hour block before spring break. It wa a BBC production that they aired on the Science Channel in America that featured a very nice score by Don Davis — I’ve mentioned it in another topic.
It’s also funny someone should mention hearing Elfman music in another classroom. I was in Spanish class last week and the class next to me was watching a movie with what sounded to be a big, sweeping Horner score, but I still don’t know what it is. I don’t know the teacher or anyone in the class so I’m afraid to ask, but it’s been bugging me like crazy.
April 9, 2006 at 8:31 pm #56839Dawg ManParticipantYeah, I had things like that happen to me alot when I was first discovering Elfman, right before the second Batman came out in 91 or 92. I had a whole list of music that I enjoyed and eventually realized one day that it was all from the same guy. Everything I liked he had his mark on. It felt pretty weird at the time.
Anyway, as a side note, I remember sitting there watching Batman Returns and thinking “You know, There’s no way they would ever make new Spider-Man or Superman movies without hiring this guy for music.” Lo and behold, Superman Lives almost happened and the two Spider-man movies did happen. I flipped out when I first heard about the latter. A buddy owed me money over that and I’d since lost contact with the slippery bastard.
By God I’ll collect on that bet some day. *narrows eyes*
By God.…Also, I knew he’d do The Hulk.

Dawg man: I wasn’t born in 91 so -___-; but hey, great minds think alike eh?
April 11, 2006 at 3:38 am #56843AletheaParticipantOh yeah i did that when i was about 13 i think. My mom is crazy about soundtracks and i music runs in our family. Somehow she missed that jeen (jean?) so she listens to music instead of playing it to fit in. But i was listening to Planet of the Apes in the cat with my mom and i was like “Hey that part sounds like the one in Batman” and so on and on i made the connection. I turned out to be a major fan from the beggining without even knowing it. Don’t worry about the guy who thinks your weird. I get that all the time. HONESTLY! It’s the same as liking a famous actor or actress right? hmph.
