《圣诞夜惊魂》是蒂姆·伯顿的经典之作，其怪诞的人物造型和诡异的故事情节成就了一部非主流的圣诞童话。男主人公杰克第一次跌落圣诞小镇时惊异地目睹白色圣诞的欢乐祥和，好奇与欣喜溢于言表。这首What's This便是伯顿的老搭档音乐怪才Danny Elfman自编自唱的力作，流畅的旋律和有趣的歌词把主人公的心理和圣诞的气氛描绘得活灵活现。

        What's this?
        by Danny Elfman
       
        What's this? What's this?
        There's color everywhere
        What's this?
        There's white things in the air
        What's this?
        I can't believe my eyes
        I must be dreaming
        Wake up, jack, this isn't fair
        What's this?
       
        What's this? What's this?
        There's something very wrong
        What's this?
        There are people singing songs
       
        What's this?
        The streets are lined with
        Little creatures laughing
        Everybody seems so happy
        Have I possibly gone daffy?
        What is this?
        What's this?
       
        There are children throwing snowballs here
        instead of throwing heads
        They're busy building toys
        And absolutely no one's dead
       
        There's frost on every window
        Oh, I can't believe my eyes
        And in my bones I feel the warmth
        That's coming from inside
       
        Oh, look
        What's this?
        They're hanging mistletoe, they kiss
        Why that looks so unique, inspired
        They're gathering around to hear a story
        Roasting chestnuts on a fire
        What's this?
        What's this?
       
        In here they've got a little tree, how queer
        And who would ever think
        And why?
       
        They're covering it with tiny little things
        They've got electric lights on strings
        And there's a smile on everyone
        So, now, correct me if I'm wrong
        This looks like fun
        This looks like fun
        Oh, could it be I got my wish?
        What's this?
       
        Oh my, what now?
        The children are asleep
        But look, there's nothing underneath
        No ghouls, no witches here to scream and scare them
        Or ensnare them, only little cozy things
        Secure inside their dreamland
        What's this?
       
        The monsters are all missing
        And the nightmares can't be found
        And in their place there seems to be
        Good feeling all around
       
        Instead of screams, I swear
        I can hear music in the air
        The smell of cakes and pies
        Is absolutely everywhere
       
        The sights, the sounds
        They're everywhere and all around
        I've never felt so good before
        This empty place inside of me is filling up
        I simply cannot get enough
       
        I want it, oh, I want it
        Oh, I want it for my own
        I've got to know
        I've got to know
        What is this place that I have found?
        What is this?
        Christmas Town, hmm...
