Corpse Bride Remains Of The Day Lyrics

Okay, let’s be honest, who *hasn't* belted out "Remains of the Day" from Corpse Bride at least once in their life? It's pure, unadulterated fun! It's the kind of song that sticks in your head like glitter glue.

We're diving deep into the delightfully macabre world of the skeleton band! Get ready for a lyric-filled journey that's spookier than forgetting to take the chicken out of the freezer before date night. Let's get this party started!

The Bone-Jangling Beats

First, let's appreciate the sheer brilliance of the song's intro! The trumpet solo? Pure undead jazz gold. You can't help but tap your foot, even if you're terrible at dancing like me, I am the definition of two left feet.

Then comes the iconic "Remains of the day-ay-ay-ay!" sung with such gusto that it could raise the dead... literally! It's like the skeleton equivalent of "Bohemian Rhapsody," but with more calcium.

Unpacking the Lyrics: A Hilarious Undertaking

Now, let's dissect those lyrics. "Life is a fleeting dream". Well, duh! Who hasn't had that existential crisis while staring at a half-eaten tub of ice cream?

It's like, "Oh man, this ice cream is disappearing fast, just like my youth!" See? Relatable! We all feel that fleeting dream vibe, even if we aren't skeletal musicians.

Then there's, "So let's all eat cake while we can." YES! Finally, some practical advice. Forget your worries, embrace the dessert! If that isn't life advice I do not know what is.

Think of it like this: you've just finished a terrible Monday. Someone suggests cake. Do you say no? Of course not! You channel your inner skeleton and devour that sugary goodness.

"Death is much more permanent." Okay, Captain Obvious, but point taken. The skeletons have a good point. But honestly, let's not dwell on that. Let's stick to the cake part.

Why "Remains of the Day" Resonates

The genius of Corpse Bride is how it mixes the creepy with the comedic. It's like adding hot sauce to your ice cream; weird, but strangely satisfying.

And "Remains of the Day" is the epitome of that balance! The lyrics acknowledge mortality, but they do so with a wink and a bone-rattling beat. The humor in the song is very dark, but it is amazing none the less.

The song urges us to appreciate the present! Eat the cake, dance like no one's watching (especially if you're a skeleton), and embrace the absurdity of it all! If you think too hard about it you may just go insane.

It's a reminder that even in the face of, well, being dead, there's still room for joy and maybe a little bit of morbid humor. Who wouldn't want that?

The Ultimate Sing-Along Anthem

Let's be real, this song is MADE for karaoke. Picture it: you, your friends, a dimly lit bar, and the collective howling of "Remains of the day-ay-ay-ay!"

It's chaotic, it's slightly off-key (unless you're secretly a professional singer), and it's utterly glorious! The harmonies may be wonky, but the spirit is pure skeletal rock and roll.

So, the next time you need a pick-me-up, blast "Remains of the Day". Embrace your inner skeleton, devour some cake, and remember that life, like a good trumpet solo, is best enjoyed with a little bit of undead flair.

Because honestly, who needs therapy when you have the Corpse Bride soundtrack? It's cheaper, and you get to sing about bones. It is truly the best of both worlds!
