Danny Elfman

Danny calls his new song, “An expression of the borderline madness that so many of us have been experiencing. Lord knows I have.“

The new song was written especially for the composer and former Oingo Boingo frontman's 2020 Coachella performance, that ended up not happening due to the pandemic, and the video was made by Bjork and Arca collaborator Jesse Kanda.

Jon Brion, William Shatner, Mandy Moore, Bob Saget, Clive Davis, Tim Rice, Drew Carey, and Patti LuPone are among over 75 composers, musicians, actors, and more set to perform and appear.
