Danny Elfman’s Summer School score is a playful and quirky early entry in his filmography, showcasing the composer’s flair for offbeat melodies and cartoonish energy. Scoring a light-hearted 1987 comedy about a slacker teacher and his band of misfit students, Elfman delivers a breezy, synth-tinged soundtrack that leans into humor, mischief, and occasional sentimentality.

Tracks like “Driving Test” and “Killer Rabbits” highlight Elfman’s knack for musical whimsy, while “Denise's Big Moment” and “Chainsaw's Dream” hint at deeper emotional beats beneath the comedy. The bonus tracks on Side B—"Extra Credit A" and "Extra Credit B"—offer fans additional glimpses into Elfman’s playful experimentation during this period.
