Oingo Boingo's most commercial hit, just missing the Top 40 in 1985, which Danny Elfman wrote in his head in the brief time it took him to drive between John Hughes' phone request for a song, and getting home, and probably responsible for getting Elfman into doing movie soundtracks. Which is definitely a net plus.
Also the soundtrack for every day since 1/21/21, where Lisa's line "Well, what do you little maniacs want to do first?" should be the opening line of the nightly news on every channel for explaining the day's events. Except without the fun part.
Well that's a blast from the past
ReplyDeleteMy most remembered is "Dead Man's Party" from Back to School. I think Kurt Vonnegut wrote it.
ReplyDeleteI thought it was by Edgar Allan Poe.
ReplyDeleteEither way, I featured that one a few years back.

"Dead Man's Party" is the start of my All Hallow's Eve playlist... Oingo Boingo at the best
