OINGO BOINGO - DEAD MAN'S PARTY

Pete says: "How to classify Oingo Boingo, quite frankly, it’s impossible, they have had Rock, Prog Rock, Ska, New Wave, Punk Rock, Punk and Pop thrown at them. All I know and care about is that they made some superb songs, including this one, taken from the album of the same name, released in October 1985. Probably more famously known for the song ‘Weird Science’ that accompanied the film and featured Kelly LeBrock, Boingo switched styles several times during their sixteen-year active period, finishing with perhaps their most rock-oriented album, ' Boingo’. I remember hearing this during my college years, driving around in my Ford Fiesta – I was so cool (not!!), but the song is! And they were headed

by the wonderful Danny Elfman."
