New Wave Wars #9

Posted over 2 years ago
All 80s nose thumbing jokery aside, Oingo Boingo is probably one of my top 10 favorite New Wave bands. Ever since I saw them in the 1986 Rodney Dangerfield film Back To School Ive been a fan. I also really love Danny Elfman's solo film scores.

  1. contrabandwidth says I think most people discovered them through this film, it's bizarre how many people remember them from that movie. I know I do.

    How about their rockin' song "Goodbye, Goodbye" closing out "Fast Times At Ridgemont High"? Oingo Boingo rules!

  4. indieguy311 says This song cheered me up so much in high school! They're one of my favorite all-time bands. "Dead Man's Party" was my second tape ever.

    My first taste of Elfman was "The Forbidden Zone".

    Then I didn't go again until Beetlejuice.

    Then I was hooked.
