10 min. Other Father Song - Coraline

I can't be the only one that's completely obsessed with this song

But seriously the other father is actually just a genuinely good person. In this song, he was kind of secretly warning her about the other mother's plans. He didn't wanna stop her from getting the ghost's eyes, he only tried because the other mother was making him. Most of the stuff he did was because the other mother was forcing him to do it. Then once he was defeated, he quickly gave Coraline the ghost eye. And that is amazing and so goodhearted of him omg

Am I the only one obsessed with this mans voice and wants him to be my actual father so he can sing to me forever ?

Does anyone else feel satisfied about the way he sings Coraline for the 2nd time?

His voice. The hidden messages. The melody. Everything is perfect and I could listen to this for more than 10 minutes!

Who else wants to name their future child Coraline just so they can sing this to her?

this song never get boring

I can't belive I listened to it for 10 minutes with no issue

Making up a song about coraline
(Warning her)
She's a peach
(The garden)
She's a doll
(The doll that looks like coraline was used to spy on her)
She's a pal of mine
(Letting her know that he's on her side)
She's as cute as a button in the eyes of everyone who ever laid their eyes on coraline
(Letting her know that the other mother is going to put buttons on her eyes)
When she comes around exploring mom and I will never, ever make it boring
Our eyes will be on coraline
(The beldam is watching her)

I wish it had so much more lyrics.

His voice, damn.

Wait, the lyrics...
"She's a peach, she's a doll, she's a pal of mine."
"She's as cute as a button in the eyes..."
"Our eyes will be on Coraline!"
AM I CRAZY OR IS HE TRYING TO WARN HER?!

I Need A Two Hour Loop Please. This Song Is Just… Idek. I Just Love It.

I can't believe I listened to this song for 10 mins straight I think the voice is comforting honestly I mean my father wasn't even there when I was born and never came into contact with me maybe that's why I like this song so much

As a kid I thought he was trying to manipulate coraline but now I see that all this time his was trying to warn her this guy made the song so he can worn her and it's so catchy that the beldam didnt even notice it pure genius

The other father was actually a good guy
Everything he did bad was because of the other mother
Like i literally want him as a father because of how good hearted he is

I want to name my child Coraline, learn this song, sing it to them and then tell her she got named after a tormented little girl in a movie. That's if they're a girl. Also I'd buy a piano just to play this song.

I'll say the song has foreshadowing but I wouldn't really call it a warning.

For some reason this song makes me really happy. I love it.

Coraline: "My father can't play piano."
Other Father: "No need to. This piano plays.. Me."

Why am I so obsessed with this?😍👌🏻

if I have a daughter this is gonna be her name and every birthday she has I will sing the song to her.

I'm fucking obsessed with this song rn, I've never felt like this for a song

I love this song.

Omg, I really love his voice. Like wow.

I don't care if it has some subliminal messages. I find the song cute actually!!

why am i so obsessed with this song like is it just me? i hope not XP

I kept quietly singing this at school today, my friends thought I was possessed 😢

The other father was always my favorite character ❤️

John Linell does the voice for this song, in case anyone was wondering.

Been on repeat for the past five hours 😍😍😍

Ok but John Linell (the vocalist of this song) also looks like the Other Father. Loooove it

Coraline has been a huge comfort to me for a long time, I remember thinking it was so cool aside from the movie that I was born in the year it was released. I watched it over and over and I never got bored I actually watched it a few days ago, I feel sorry for the other father though because he's not really real, for example the other wybie could rebel but the other father couldn't because the other mother was controlling him. Its so interesting and has had me hooked on all the details, I actually found out not long ago that the two old ladies downstairs aren't even sisters they're together! It came as such a shock to me but it also made me really happy because I mean normally everyone in cartoons would be straight and like homophobic for some reason there are very few I've seen that actually have different sexualitys in it. Its so cutee

Achievement unlocked: Memories of the past.

I really love this song. Today it stucked in my head and I needed 5 minutes to figure out what this song is.
But look at the lyrics. Look at this lyrics! He´s saying the truth... I´m sure it´s another warning from our other father.

I listened to the whole thing..... that's how much I love this song XD

This man is an ACTUAL good singer.

The lyrics meaning
“Making up a song about Coralline
“She’s a peach “soon to be feed be the beldam “she’s a
doll” made by the other mother to get her Into the
other world “she’s a pall of mine” he actually loves her and the other mother aka the beldam wants him to kill Coraline “she’s as cute as a button in the eyes of everyone who ever laid their eyes on coralline “ the other mother
wants her to have button eyes “ when she comes around exploring mom and I will never Ever make it boring” the other mother will make what Coraline wants to see making Coraline happy “our eyes will be on Coraline” making sure she stays in the other world forever

He was secretly warning her omg
This piano plays me (mom controls dad)
Makin' up a song about Coraline
She's a peach (the mom wants to eat her)
She's a doll (He is telling Coraline that she will end up like her doll but with buttons)
She's a pal of mine (He doesn't want to hurt her)
She's as cute as a button
In the eyes of everyone who ever laid their eyes on Coraline (They are watching her)
When she comes around exploring
Mom and I will never, ever make it boring
Our eyes will be on Coraline (They will sew the buttons on coraline's eyes)

This song is so catchy I can't stop listening to it.

I'll never get tired of this song.

She's a peach "other mother's food"
She's a doll "the doll that was a spy"
She's a pal of mine "he doesn't want to hurt her"
She's as cute as a button in the eyes of everyone who ever laid their eyes on Coraline "buttons for eyes"
When she comes around exploring, mom and I will never, ever make a boring... Our eyes will be on Coraline "watching Coraline"

Favorite part: 0:00 - 10:10

I just remembered this song from when I was younger... I love it, can't be boring

The other father is actually one of my fave characters in coraline because he’s kind and when coraline was looking for the lost eyes and when he was like “Don’t wanna hurt you” I almost cried because he wasn’t real but he still cared about coraline 😭😭😭😭😭😭

This is a stretch but the piano resembles the computer the actual dad has to work on "this piano plays me" a line that could be a metaphor in working a long nine to five job on a computer no sort of creativity and you just have to do the job in question, but through the other world it obviously becomes the opposite and its more joyus than just being on a computer, the way you play a piano seems to be like using a computer also the scene where they first reveal other father is the exact way they do to the original father

This is what we call "foreshadowing" it can be seen in almost every story ever.

Can't get over how wonderful John Linnel's voice and piano chops are. So complementary to the character.

Lyrics:
Making up a song about Caroline
She's a peach , She's a doll, She's a pal of mine
She's as cute as a button
In the eyes of everyone whoever laid their eyes on Caroline
When she comes around exploring Mom and I will never, ever make it boring
Our Eyes will Be on Caroline
Find the Secrets

He tried to warn her...

Hey guys! Have you ever thought of this? So when coraline was in the cell with the ghost kids, they told her about how she tricked them into thinking she loved them, and 3 different kids. So, I was wondering- what if she had different forms? That of the Kids’s mothers and same with their fathers. This theory is also supported by in the end when she shapeshifts into a different, slender image. This is her true form. The one we saw throughout the movie was a ‘copy’ of coralines mom. Idk, just something I’ve been thinking of for a while.

This song sounds so comforting butt yet a bit disturbing imo. I love how literally every word of this song has a secret meaning to earn her. If there was a longer version of this (more lyrics not just looping it) I would absolutely adore it!

I am absolutely in love with They Might Be Giants. I can't believe I hadn't heard this song before. This song is absolutely amazing. Not a suprise considering how incredibly talented John Linnel is. Everything about this song is just fantasic. Wish it 6x longer though.

Other Mother (OM) & Other Father (OF): Welcome, Coraline
OM: This will be divine
OF: So glad you came!
OM & OF: Now no worries, my dear we promise you that this won’t be lame
Caroline (CL): Ah okay, I see.. I will wait and I’m guessing this is all about me
OM & OF: *Chuckle* Oh my sweet, you are so - (OF) Naive! (OM: *Nudges stomach*) OF: Oww?
OM: We can reassure you that you might consider staying here forever too!
Caroline: Ooh, forever how wonderful that may be!
OM: *Mind* Haha this is easy “Oh I mean seriously?” She’s just another child.. No way how will I ever let her be.. free
OF: Caroline, stay far from the line, for this is not all there is.
OF: Sure you’re a cute button, where many can you see?
OM: “Oh ignore that dear, your Other Father’s just joking.” Soon the time will arrive, where you can dive into -
OF: Little time left here, little time left there for you can only hope.. That what you see here isn’t truly on it’s true.. *show.*
OM: So what do you say? Perhaps consider this for a day? If you’d like, you can stay _
OF: But remember there is something you have to *pay..*
OM: A little buttons to be sewn, you know.. kind of an “owe”.
OF: Cause of course it won’t sting, but remember what I say.. may it hint a ring, into your head.
(Just a little song I thought would match for the movie)

The nostalgia, the comforting tune
It’s making me teary-eyed ❤️

Why is it that this song is so nostalgic? I never even watched Coraline as a kid, but this is so comforting?? It probably has something to do with the fact the TMBG was a big part of my childhood, but I could listen to this song for hours..

The first time I ever watched this movie was when I was really young (probably like 6 or 7) and I distinctly remember a strong feeling of nostalgia, like I'd seen it before, even though I knew for sure I hadn't. It wasn't really deja vu because it wasn't that specific to events, but just a feeling. I'm listening to this song again and i feel like a lot of it was something about the Other Father and his voice, there's just something about it that seems like it's been around for a lot longer than it really has. This is probably just a weird thing unique to me, but I thought it was a fitting story

I always thought he said
She's a peach she's a doll she's a "bal of wine
XD

This song is incredibly catchy and bless you for finally making a long video with this song repeating, as I got tired of restarting a thirty second song all the time :)

Everyone who is complimenting the guys voice just read the credits. The dad is voiced by John Hodgman (speaking voice) and the singing part is voiced and written by John Linell of They Might be Giants. They have been around since the 80s and their entire discography is free on youtube, on Spotify, etc. They Might Be Giants also wrote and sang Malcom In The Middle's theme song. They are really, really good and talented in their versatile style. They have more than 10 albums and 100 songs. Get to listening!

It's kind of creepy when one thinks of what this song really means. Really creepy.
There are hidden messages to this song to Coraline about what the Other Mother is doing and is going to eventually do, or try to do, to her. Watching her through the doll, planning to take her eyes. And the Other Father pretty much tells Coraline he's an ally by saying, "she's a pal of mine." (Though Coraline realizes *none* of this)
And frankly a woman stealing a child's eyes and therefor their souls is just downright terrifying.

This song legit never gets old

now i want my name to be Coraline >.

about 3 years ago I had this memorised, do I still know all the lyrics? yes

I made it through the whole video it was so beautiful😍

No way, I love this song and description says it was written by They Might Be Giants! I love those guys and it makes so much sense, this song sounds exactly like on of their upbeat, zany songs!

Si hablas español ahí va una traducción más apegada a lo que dice en realidad y el mensaje que esconde en realidad la canción.
🎶🎶Haciendo una canción sobre Coraline, es un durazno, una muñeca, una amiga mía.
Es tan linda como un botón en los ojos de todos quienes ponen sus ojos en Coraline.
Cuando explora alrededor mamá y yo nunca lo haremos aburrido, nuestros ojos estarán en Coraline. 🎶

*I sang this song in CDawgVA's Discord Server, I was on a voice chat.*
*Someone was playing the piano while I was singing this, I asked him if he was able to play this song.*
*He said yes, The whole entire Discord Voice Chat just wear silent.*
*When we stopped, they all said stuff like, "Wow! That was amazing!"*
So yea.
*This song is obsession worthy.*

i love this song, i love this movie. one of the best thought out movies ever done, writing is top of the line and the animation is so satisfying to watch, this song is and always stuck in my head!

Coraline is what I’m naming my daughter 😆 this is my favorite every movie and none of it ever gets boring.

Fun Fact: Other father isn't actually the other mother's husband (considering they don't call each other "honey" or "darling",etc and he even calls her mother and instead of "your mother".), she created the other father making him (in Coraline's perspective) a secretly protective older brother she never had in the real world.

I’m obsessed. I need a full version of this

Don't you just love it when an alternate version of your father who is actually a tormented semblance of a human life created by an evil creature who wants to feed on your soul writes a song for you?
I know I do.

Play this song for my daughter all the time. Found this loop. It's awesome. Named her after this movie!

Thing song will never get old
just like Coraline’s eyes.

Everyone: making up theories about how he's trying to warn her
Me who read the book: 👁️👄👁️

I love how this song foreshadows the entire movie.

Making up a song about coraline
(Warning her)
She's a peach
(The Beldam wants to eat her)
She's a doll
(The doll that looks like coraline was used to spy on her)
She's a pal of mine
(Letting her know that he's on her side)
She's as cute as a button in the eyes of everyone who ever laid their eyes on coraline
(Letting her know that the other mother is going to put buttons on her eyes)
When she comes around exploring mom and I will never, ever make it boring
Our eyes will be on coraline
(The beldam is watching her)

Considering that the song it's self is about 30 seconds, 10 mins is A LOT!!! Good job!😉

Shes a peach Shes a doll Shes a POWERLINE!? XD

I could listen to this song all day and never get bored

love it to death my favorite song ever

I was sad when it ended tbh

It's so easy to listen to this entire thing. I didn't even realise 10 minutes had passed and I expected it to start again but it didn't

No one actually understands its a warning in disguise. Read The Lyrics.
"She's A Peach, She's A Doll, She's a pal of mine."
"She's as cute as a button"
"Our Eyes will be On Coraline."

This needs a 10 hours version.

When I get mad I sing or listen to this song in gonna do this for talent Show XD

The more I listen the more secret meaning in the song! She’s a doll! A button in the eyes! Eyes on coraline! Mom and I will never ever make it boring. Our eyes will be on coraline! He means the button eyes! The button eyes will be on coraline! Never make it boring, the games, she’s a doll, just like the coraline doll, she’s as cute as a button speaks for itself. That blew my mind.

I played this 6 times and got an hour
genius

The VA for Coralines other Father is actually John Linnell, super talented as it shows with his fantastic singing. Even if its short in the original movie its still a banger.

I'm currently watching coraline for the 100 time....HELP ME!!!

Perfect loop 👌🏼

it’s been years and I still love this movie💖

I don’t care how old this movie is this song will always be fire 🔥

This song makes me feel like everything's okay when I listen to it 💞💞

Lemme explain the lyrics:
Making up a song about CORALINE
(trying to warn her)
She's a peach
(other mother wants to eat her)
She's a doll
(how the other mother is spying on her)
She's a pal of mine
(Other father trying to say he's not with the other mother's side)
She's as cute as a button
(how the other mother will make her stay)
In the eyes of everyone who ever laid their eyes on Coraline
(everyone in the other world has button eyes. The other mother wants to sew buttons on Coraline's eyes)
When she comes around exploring
(Indicates that the other mother is spying on her)
Mom and I will never make it boring
(how the other mother tricks her)
Our eyes will always be on Coraline
(The other parents have button eyes. He meant physically not metaphorically)
Hope it helped you :)

He's a great singer love his voice

Whoever sang this did a great job. Especially my favorite line:
“In the eyes of everyone who ever laid their eyes on Coraline”
The way he says coraline tho..

Welp, I’m definitely learning this on piano right now

The foreshadowing they put into this songs is so dark, but I love it. My favorite part pre-song is “the piano plays me”, like how other-mother forces his hand
