Ever wonder what Danny Elfman did before he wrote movie soundtracks?

If this one doesn't play at my funeral, I'm not attending.

Just don’t ask about their Little Girls song

He has said that the song is as if he were writing from the perspective of a character.

In the context of his larger body of work which constantly points the spotlight on the different types of predators in society I think it’s reasonable to assume that it is another critique. Personally for me it evokes a Hollywood director who prefers child stars or a fashion exec eagerly producing booty shorts for children.

The way the song sounds it is very clear that he thinks of this person as a villain.
