OingoBoingo was the band of composer Danny Elfman from the mid-1970s to October 31, 1995.
The band made an appearance playing their hit "Dead Man's Party" on stage in the memorable party scene in the movie Back to School (for which Danny Elfman composed the score), in addition to appearing in the 1981 film Longshot, performing their unreleased song "I've Got To Be Entertained".
OingoBoingo amicably parted ways after their annual Halloween concert in 1995, because it was "time." The final concert is available on both audio and video recordings.
Boingo was huge on the college circuit when I was a teen, back in the mid 80's, and you even probably know their biggest hit, 'Weird Science', which is NOT one of their better songs, but so goes the music industry.
My first taste of Boingo was from their release, 'Good for your Soul', which carried the frantic anthem, 'Who do you want to be today?' This song would drive my friends and I do thrashing and flailing about on the dance floor, scaring most others around us to the sidelines.
And don't think OingoBoingo is all style and no substance...along with their unique sound, they included sharp, witty lyrics, that while often funny, carried a bit of sarcasm and commentary that I really didn't understand until I was older.
