Love how the piano controlling Other Dad foreshadows the idea that he’s just a puppet. “This piano plays me.”

[The_Luhv_The_Fire_Demon]

Fun fact: He says the word “eyes” three times which is how many ghosts children there are. This song is a clear warning and at the end he pauses and looks at the camera as if he’s saying “did you get that?”

[WhiteKnightPictures]

I love how he's trying to secretly warn her.

[TysonASMR]

“Our eyes will be on coraline” is chilling considering the circumstances 💀

[PronounGiggle]

Fun fact: Other father is trying to protect her, which explains the reason he says "Sorry" later in the movie "Mother made me do this" That also explains that The Beldam forced the other father to do that

[AllisonakaSakura]

Just a friendly reminder:

Making up a song about Coraline
She's a peach, she's a doll, she's a pal of mine (Other father is here to help Caroline from mother; he's an ally)
She's as cute as a button
In the eyes of everyone who ever laid their eyes on Coraline (Other mother will replace her eyes with button; steal her soul)
When she comes around exploring
Mom and I will never ever make it boring(Other mom made the world in stark contrast to reality to keep Caroline there; it's a trap)
Our eyes will be on Coraline (Other mom is watching; this place is not safe)

[grimmskid]

Love how he’s hinting at eyes and buttons the whole song

[nolasunflower]

🤣 for years I’ve said, “She’s a BEAST, she’s a doll, she’s a pal of mine.”

[TheOneNerd]

Such a great singer, almost like it's a completely different person.

[jamestolbert]

I love how this version of her father is trying to keep her safe from the Beldam. Makes me sad that the book’s version didn’t follow suit

[straykidsallaround]

“Sorry..Sorryy.. I didnt mean to… Mother is controlling..” All he wanted to do was bond with Coraline, not kill her..😢

[MLOOI]

he was made to love and care for her, and he did exactly that til the end

[AllysonSandoval-sqnw]

" Our eyes will be on coraline" actually warns coraline on how their button eyes will soon be on Coraline

[Mimmy_lovvy]

Something I realized was when the other mother said, "He must be hungry as a pumpkin" then near the end, he was a pumpkin

[JumboJosh-lvmo]

“Making up a song about coraline.” Is in refrance on how the world is made up besides the palace.
“She’s a peach.” She’s the good for the other mother.
“She’s a doll.” The doll is spying on her and is alive.
“Pal of mine” the other father is on her side.
“She’s as cute as a button in the eye.” She’s gonna get a button in the eye litterally.
“In the eyes in everyone who’s laid their eyes on coraline.” The beldam sees through the button eves on everyone.
“When she comes around exploring mother will never ever make it boring.” The other mother is setting everything up and this whole world is made up.
“Our eyes will be on coaraline.” To repeat this line is to emplthasize that she should not let the buttons on her eyes.

One of my favorite They Might Be Giants songs—I love Linnell's voice! (And Flansy's!)

[freyjarunninghawk]

He’s signing that to tell coralline something

[marcusyates]

🎶 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 Coraline! When she comes around exploring, Mom and I will never ever make it boring, our eyes will be on Coraline! 🎶

[detroitsbirdman]

They Might Be Giants apparently recorded a few other songs for the movie but this was the only one ultimately included, but damn does it slap

[Toomany_fandoms]

Bro this song actually
