Frankenweenie: The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack is the film score for the Disney film, Frankenweenie, by Danny Elfman, and was released on September 25, 2012.
A separate soundtrack concept album titled, Frankenweenie Unleashed!: Music Inspired by the Motion Picture by various artists was also released on the same date. The packaging for Frankenweenie: Unleashed was distributed in a digipak CD format with phosphorescent cover art.
Each album was released by Walt Disney Records physically on CD and via digital download on various online platforms including the iTunes Store.
"Wonder Volt" by Kaela Kimura is the theme song for the Japanese version.
Only the tracks "Strange Love" and "Praise Be New Holland", are actually used in the film. Artists Grace Potter, Kerli, the Plain White T's, and Robert Smith were previously featured on Almost Alice, a similar compilation album consisting of tracks from and inspired by the Tim Burton film Alice in Wonderland by various artists.
Background
Karen O was approached by the film's director Tim Burton with the intent of the singer writing a song especially for the film. The singer has said that her song, "Strange Love" was inspired by "the same era of B-movie fright film references sprinkled throughout the film. I went in the direction of exotica and calypso stylistically because it’s quirky, good vibes music of that era, and when you throw in a Theremin solo, it’s a marriage made in heaven. I remember Beetlejuice introducing me to the genius of Harry Belafonte’s calypso record, so I wanted to give a nod to that, too." The brief line "Love, love is strange," as well as its melody, which are repeated several times in "Strange Love", are drawn directly from the 1957 No. 1 hit record, "Love Is Strange" by Mickey & Sylvia.
