Nearly three decades after Big Top Pee-Wee, another new wave frontman-turned-film composer, Pee-Wee's Playhouse alumnus Mark Mothersbaugh of Devo, was tapped to provide music for the third Pee-Wee installment, 2016's Pee-Wee's Big Holiday. Using Danny Elfman's work in the series as a template, Mothersbaugh employed atmospheric choir, mallet percussion, harp, and cymbals flesh out strings, brass, and woodwinds in the opening Main Titles and Farewell. Pulsing strings and brass underscore playful percussion, high-range woodwinds, and the rare appearance of a guitar on the brisk Pee-Wee's Morning Routine. The tone remains jolly on the jazzy The Diner and on the western-infused Traveling Salesman, and becomes appropriately dramatic but never scary during scenes like Bank Robbery and Escape from Church. Hallucinations keeps things zany with Theremin. There's one song on the soundtrack -- New York, a wry tribute to the city and perhaps to Bernstein-Comden-Green's New York, New York -- performed by Paul Reubens as Pee-Wee Herman, with a responsive chorus ("Madison Square Garden, it isn't square and it isn't a garden"). With big shoes to fill, and without using any of Elfman's distinctive themes, Mothersbaugh manages to imitate the palette and the spirit of Elfman's original work to a degree where casual Pee-Wee fans likely won't notice the change, and soundtrack collectors may be nearly as charmed by the results.
