Making Up A Song About Coraline Lyrics

Okay, let’s be honest. Have you ever watched Coraline and thought, "This movie needs a karaoke version?" Me too. Don’t act surprised.

I’ve spent, uh, way too much time thinking about Coraline. Specifically, about what songs would be on a hypothetical Coraline soundtrack.

The Obvious Choice: Neil Gaiman Ballads

First off, a mournful acoustic number. Think a folksy tune about button eyes and escaping your problems. It's a bit on the nose, sure.

The title? Something like "The Other Side Isn't Always Greener," maybe. Or "Beware the Button-Eyed Witch." Catchy, right?

The chorus would feature lyrics like, “Oh, the Other Mother, with her tempting lies... her button eyes, a cold disguise." Who's feeling emotional?

Mr. Bobinsky's Big Top Bop

We need something a little… weirder. Enter: Mr. Bobinsky. Imagine a polka-infused, accordion-heavy banger dedicated to jumping mice.

Lyrics might include, "The mice! They jump! They somersault! For glory! And cheese!" It would definitely be a crowd-pleaser.

Okay, maybe only in a very specific crowd. But I'm standing by it! It has to be something like that to be true to Mr. Bobinsky.

Wybie's "Woe is Me" Anthem

Poor Wybie. He's just trying to deliver the message. He deserves a sympathetic emo anthem.

The song would detail his awkward social life. You know, haunted dolls, overbearing grandma, the works.

Sample lyrics: "I just wanna be cool, but Grandma says no! And this doll keeps staring, everywhere I go!" Pure poetry.

A Song For The Cat

Let's not forget the cat. He's too cool for ballads or polka. He gets a smooth jazz number.

Think saxophone solos, whispered vocals, and lyrics about navigating the space between worlds. Very mysterious.

Imagine this: "I walk between the shadows, a feline in the night. Button eyes can't see me, I vanish from their sight." It practically writes itself!

The Garden of Her Dreams

What about an upbeat song? Maybe a pop song during the beautiful garden sequence? Yes!

The chorus goes: "Oh, the garden, green and bright, filled with blooms in the soft moonlight. It dances!"

It could be so cute and bubbly, just like the garden scene! Imagine the beat!

The Unpopular Opinion: A Coraline Rap Battle

Here's where things get controversial. I think Coraline needs a rap battle. Coraline vs. The Other Mother.

Picture this: Coraline spitting rhymes about independence. The Other Mother dropping bars about her "perfect" world.

It would be epic. Though some might say it's disrespectful, but can you see the potential?

Coraline could rap: "You think you can trap me, with your games and lies? But I'm breaking free, before your button eyes!" The beat drops!

Why This Matters (Kind Of)

Ultimately, this is all just silly fun. But imagining the soundtrack of Coraline highlights its themes.

The movie is about finding your voice, embracing your weirdness, and fighting for what's real. What better way to express that than through song?

So, next time you watch Coraline, maybe hum a little tune. Who knows? You might accidentally write the next big hit.
