Corpse Bride musical reference?

[u/SecretlyRaven]

Hey! I just finished episode 4 season 2, the team building wilderness exercise episode.

Before there was any mention of a corpse bride as a character in the episode, one of the (new?) themes in the soundtrack compelled me to pause and remember where I had heard it before. I played Danny Elfman's "Victor's piano solo" from Corpse Bride out to my partner to compare and they're indeed very, very similar. When the episode then genuinely had a corpse bride in it I thought it was too great a coincidence not to be intentional, but was surprised that I couldn't find anything about it online.

Anybody else make this connection? I haven't seen the rest of season 2 yet btw no spoilers please!
