Sad for today’s generation, missing out on music like this

Very true. However, I, myself am an 80’s girl through & through & my babes were raised on this music😝😝 I will never stop listening to it! They are now 20&21 & when they were younger, I used to drag them to concerts of all the 80’s bands…. lol. Here’s a funny story… when my son got old enough to go to shows on his own (12 or 13) he said to me “how come when I go to shows with you, we always get to hang out with the bands…. We always get into the backstage or we go out with the bands & they all come back to our home?”😝😝🤷‍♀️ I was a bit confused so I asked him to elaborate. He said he tried to hang out with the bands he went to see & he was denied. I said idk, I’ve been friends with all these 80’s bands for years🤷‍♀️ Apparently he thought it was totally normal to go hangout with the bands after the shows & go eat or have everyone come back to our place😝😝🤷‍♀️🤦‍♀️ bc he was raised with various bands coming to our home to do their laundry & playing video games, eating , drinking or whatever when the shows ended….. I reminded him that no in fact that is not exactly “normal” 😝😝 . So then of course he asked if I can get him back stage to meet the artists he goes & sees (usually rappers) I said no… I have zero connections to the rap world 🤣🤣🤷‍♀️

Probably my two favorite Oingo Boingo songs.

The most unique and intricate band of all time. We will never hear another band that sounds like Oingo Boingo

My life was totally F--ked growing up,but bands like (Especially) Oingo Boingo kept me going. Alot of songs inspired me to put up with the bullshit I was dealt. I wonder if some bands realize the affect they have on people? I say them in Irvine (On Thursday) at their last shows. It was beyond words.

This is such an amazing song, every time I hear it I cry. Idk why it's just so amazing

I'm transported back to my teenage years getting smashed on the front row of a boingo concert and mosh pitting and diving and crowd surfing with the crew. Those were great days that will live forever in my memories. Boingo is without a doubt one of the best live bands, and Danny Elfman is the model of an accomplished, talented musician. That bassline is killer in Not my slave.

Danny's left leg is tryna run away. 🤣

A genius, Danny Elfman and Oingo Boingo were so underrated. They were way ahead of their dimension. He sang using his voice like any virtuoso used their instrument and took his voice where all the rest couldn’t.

My favorite song, and my crush from my childhood. I'm 45 and still love him 😍💜

Danny, please, please play with your band again! There is a new generation of fans that would love to see you reunite at the Hollywood Bowl or the Forum after this stupid pandemic is over! And based on the comments, you’d probably pack houses in Brasil, too.

im pretty sure danny has stated he doesnt wish to do any sort of reunion with the band. the only one of them he still plays with occasionally is steve bartek. if you want to see their music still played, check out oingo boingo former members. it includes some of the members from the original boingo (johnny vatos, john avila, steve bartek, sluggo phipps, and carl graves) with some newer ones to fill in the spaces. their new vocalist doesnt really have the same feel as danny but its probably the closest thing we'll get to ever having the band back together.

God it sure is! On one hand there is the past, living in the moment you never think "I'm making some great memories here! Or, let me make some great memories!" You just live in the moment and enjoy it. In the present, you never think, "Thank God I made all those great memories!" Because the moments we lived, they just became, incidentally, memories. It feels wonderful and sad to reminisce! Brings a huge smile to my face, and a great somber sadness inside because I know those times will never come back and the day will come when the music just ends. Live life to the fullest everyone!!!

@@_exitcrypt I grew up in Irvine. I discovered them sometime in 1979 after hearing "Ain't This the Life", and then "Violent Love" -- surely on KROQ, which was still new then and before Richard Blade started working there (in '81?). As soon as their ten-inch EP came out I immediately ran over to Licorice Pizza on Newport Blvd (I really miss the way record stores used to smell with all that vinyl!), went home, copied the record to cassettes so I could listen to it in the car, and then played the bloody hell out of them -- over, and over, and over, and over, again and again. At least until Only a Lad came out in '81, and then Nothing to Fear in '82, then Good for Your Soul, then So-Lo, etc., etc., putting each of those on cassette too and only using the LPs to make recordings to cassette. I still have all my LPs too. I've listened to OB's songs literally several thousands of times over. One never gets old of them. It's impossible to. I just wish they'd get back together again.

I started listening to oingo boingo because Danny elfman showed up in a dream i had where he chased me, ripped up my mail into tiny pieces that flew through a screen door into my throat while he screamed Oingo Boingo at me. Upon awaking from that crazy dream I immediately looked up Oingo Boingo and have been hooked ever since. Im sure my subconscious knew about Oingo Boingo, but dang, that was the most intense way i got into a band.

Amo a música We Close Our Eyes. Me trás boas lembranças dos anos 80, quando eu era ainda moleque...tudo era melhor naquela época, músicas, filmes, TV, pessoas, festas e até o futebol...

And if you come to me And if you touch my hand I might just slip away I might just disappear Who am I?
