    absolutely true. real musicians. real artists. generally, the people who are that good, don't get the recognition. It's the ones good at the PR, the game, the image...those are usually the ones who grab the attention. Band was started by his brother...The Mystic Knights of the Oingo Boingo began as a street theater troupe in Los Angeles, founded by Richard Elfman. The name was inspired by a fictional secret society on the Amos 'n' Andy TV series called The Mystic Knights of the Sea. The earliest version of the band employed as many as 15 performers at any given time, playing over 30 instruments, including some instruments built by band members. nobody plays with 15 guys because they want fame and money...

    Wow. One of my biggest regrets in life was never seeing this band live. This is amazing, truly. Hearing all the coordination, the perfect timing, the harmonizing, how it all comes together to create such a sound. Personally, I put OB right up there with the Talking Heads for a live performance.

    I’d never heard of Oingo Boingo when my buddy bought us tickets to see them at The Oz Of Monterey in 1982. Some weirdo announced to the long line for the men’s room that, “if I don’t get in there, there won’t be a concert”. Later I realized that jerk was Danny Elfman. Best concert I’ve ever attended. Been a fan ever since.

    What a great band! And a hoot! I first saw them at UC Irvine back around 1978. They showed up playing and sauntering up over the hills on the campus green to the stage. It was like an alien invasion... but with much better music and nobody died or was disintegrated. They seemed like they were enjoying themselves as much as the crowd.

I got my first radio when I was five years old back in the 70s so I have been listening to music for a long time, and all types of music from every genre, and this song is the song I am always playing and listening to more than any other. If I were stuck on a desert island and told I could only listen to one song for the rest of my life, it would be this song. It has everything! Sheer Perfection!

    Graduated in 1990 - Came into high school in 87 and this band's music was playing at every Friday night party that I went to. Amongst some of the other great bands of the eighties. I absolutely go back in time in my mind when I hear Boingo. I never got to see them live and I wish that they would tour. Man that would be some shit to see these guy's live at 51. Come on Danny..... give us one tour. I'm originally from San Diego but live in Portland now so I don't know what the response would be like here but I know in Dago there would be a lot of people my age that would go to see them.
