They Might Be Giants-Other Father Song

A clip from the 2009 movie "Coraline", by Henry Selick, in which John Linnell performs the song "Other Father Song" for the film. This was the only song by TMBG that officially got in the movie.

i love this movie

[Shuda7]

I went to go see this in theatres just to hear them play that song, the movie was good too. but the creepy part to me was that the other father looks very similar ot John Linnell

[Arichat60]

You know, you're right! I never thought about it before, but he does look a lot like John Linnell. You think that may have been intentional?

[Shuda7]

Possibly, They Might Be Giants entered several songs for the movie, but unfortunately the songs were not "Creepy enough" according to John Flansburgh. So I guess just to make up for it, they mad the other father look like Linnell

[Arichat60]

That does make sense. By the way, did you know that the Other Father is normally voiced in the movie by John Hodgman, aka The Deranged Millionaire, aka the PC Guy?

[Shuda7]

Ya i knew that, he was also on some of the podcasts too.

if only this song was longer ...

[tardisblue1963]

The first time I was watching this movie, I almost jumped put of my seat because it was John Linnell

[Musicaljunki]

this movie scared the fuck out of me, especially the whole thing with the eyes. but this kind of makes up for it.

[InDiepKid]

John didn't do the regular voice, did he? it sounds like he could have though i doubt it

[OSTqueen]

creepy.

[mrtacotheamazing]

when i first saw the movie at this very part i realized who he was

[MrMagsave]

This song is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ThePoeticAngel]

I must have already listened to it 10 times already. It's so catchy. They really should of thought of making a longer version of the song!

o.k its a little disturbing when you analyze the lyrics:

she's a peach(other mother is going to eat her)

she's a doll(the doll she finds in the begining)

she's a pal of mine(other father is on her side)

[RavenBeauty95]

i think, the hungarian version is better... i prefer the other father's voice.
