In the first few minutes the saxophone guy calls Jack 'bone daddy' I was wondering if you have any ideas, headcanons or fanfic recs related to or about that? I couldn't find anything, but I thought it was really funny.
Well, ‘Bone Daddy’ became a bit of a cultural phenomenon for awhile. To the point where people seem to forget it was directly said in The Nightmare Before Christmas. (And it was some Disney marketing thing..? Or something?)
I have James (The Saxophone Player) teasingly calling Jack ‘Bone Daddy’ in my fanfiction a few times..! I like to think it’s the Band’s official nickname for him, since they’re close friends and it’s hinted he previously opened up to them before. ‘Daddy’ in the sense of old jazz musician slang, and ‘Bone’ because he’s, well, a skeleton. :P
