Create a Karaoke Instrumental Track

I want an instrumental track for the Oogie Boogie's Song from The Nightmare Before Christmas. I have a piano sheet music that I arranged and mixed together for what I want the track to sound like. The song is based off of Cab Calloway and I want the song to sound like it's having fun for a live-performance scenario, but not straying too far from the original source material.

The original song has lots of string, piano, and woodwinds carrying the melody, bu ... t for this arrangement, I'd want to have a more "brassy" presence and instead of an orchestra setting with a full set of string instruments, it would be cut down to an acoustic guitar and a standup bass. I'd like hear your thoughts on what additional musical interpretations I should go for!

Here's some links for inspiration and what Oogie Boogie's Song is based from:

Villain's Medley (Johnathon Freeman | Disney Sessions)

Overall, the song should sound spooky and fun for the Halloween season!
