In 2008, the 15th anniversary of The Nightmare Before Christmas was celebrated with re-recordings of songs from the film by twenty modern rock bands. For the album, Korn was recruited to cover the track “Kidnap the Sandy Claws”. The song is about three characters from the film planning to kidnap San...
[Verse 1]
Kidnap the Sandy Claws
Lock him up real tight
Throw away the key
And then turn out all the lights
First we're going to set some bait
Inside a nasty trap and wait
And when he comes a-sniffing
We will snap the trap and close the gate
Wait I've got a better plan
To catch this big red lobster man
Let's pop him in a boiling pot
And when he's done we'll butter him up
[Chorus]
Kidnap the Sandy Claws
Throw him in a box
Bury him for 90 years
Then see if he talks!
Then Mr. Oogie Boogie man!
Can take the whole thing over then!
He'll be so pleased I do declare!
That he will cook him rare!
[Verse 2]
I say that we take a cannon
Aim it at his door, and then...
Knock 3 times and when he answers
Sandy Claws will be no more
You're so stupid think now
If we blow him up to smithereens
We may lose some pieces
And then Jack will beat us black and green
[Chorus 2]
Kidnap the Sandy Claws
Tie him in a bag
Throw Him in the ocean
And see if he gets sad!
[Verse 3]
Because Mr. Oogie Boogie
Is the meanest guy around
If I were on his Boogie list
I'd get out of town
He'll be so pleased by our success
That he'll reward us too, I bet
Perhaps he'll make his special brew
Of snake and spider stew
We're his little henchman
And we take our job with pride
We do our best to please him
And to stay on his good side
I wish my cohorts weren't so dumb
I'm not the dumb one
You're no fun
Shut up!
I've got something, listen now
This one is real good you'll see
We'll send a present to his door
Upon there'll be a note to read
Now in the box we'll wait and hide
Until his curiosity entices him to look inside
And then we'll have him
One, two, three
[Chorus]
Kidnap the Sandy Claws
Beat him with a stick
Lock him for 90 years
See what makes him tick
Kidnap the Sandy Claws
Chop him into bits
Mr. Oogie Boogie is sure to get his kicks
Kidnap the Sandy Claws
See what we will see!
Lock him in a cage
And then throw away the key!
Kidnap the Sandy Claws
See what we will see!
Lock him in a cage
And then throw away the key!
