we are the music makers and we are the dreamers of dreams.

Fact: I was supremely excited for Tim Burton's "Charlie & The Chocolate Factory" and subsequently severely disappointed.
Fact: Gene Wilder performed with a fantastic creepiness that was and is unrivaled, even by the not-to-be-discluded Johnny Depp.
Fact: Though penned by musical soundtrack magician Danny Elfman, the update was vastly inferior to Leslie Bricusse and Anthony Newley's original 1971 score.
Fact: Not one of you would have seriously considered purchasing this 35 year old album, even if it were presented to you at a discounted price.
Fact: You [expletive] love this music.
