I made a thread about this in a galaxy far far away but the google searcher can't find it. so here's a new one. i think Boingo is one of the most underrated bands of the 80s. Up until about 86 or 87 they were writing some very quality material. I was listening to Only A Lad last night and I just realized that I LOVE every song on that album. And that's a rarity for me, even with Primus or RDJ. So, any Boingo fans here? Favorite album, song, member (besides Elfman)? ALBUM: Farewell or Boingo Alive! SONG: Wild Sex (In the Working Class) - Boingo Alive or Farewell version MEMBER: Sluggo, sucka!!!!!! |

One of my favorite bands EVER!!!.. I love all thier stuff..... If you get a chance, be sure to check out Elfmans solo album SO-LO Its wonderful. Good Call. my Fav album would have to be BOINGO ALIVE. It captures the band at thier best. But I am a fan of all the studio albums too. =) |

Is it the same style as Elfman's music? |

If you are referring to Elfmans movie scores, NO, Oingo is nothing like it. Elfman is GOD though.. |

the man with the orange hair, with the pistols, is elfman. no, boingo is nothing like his film scores, but you may hear certain elements within the music. for instance, boingo uses a lot of percussive instruments, including something they invented called a rhumbaphone. you sometimes hear vibes and other instruments like this in his film scores i guess. i recommend either skeletons in the closet or only a lad for a first listen. and yes, i have SO-LO. and it's quite nice. the video for gratitude is easily boingo's best next to little girls. |

Plastic tubes and pots and pans Bits and pieces and Magic from the hand We’re makin’ (weird science) Things I’ve never seen before Behind bolted doors Talent and imagination (weird science) Not what teacher said to do Makin’ dreams come true Living tissue, warm flesh (weird science) Plastic tubes and pots and pans Bits and pieces (and) Bits and pieces (and) (bits of) my creation--is it real? It’s my creation--i do not know No hesitation--no heart of gold Just flesh and blood--i do not know From my heart and from my hand Why don’t people understand My intentions . . . . oooh, weird . . . . Weird science!! (weird science) Magic and technology Voodoo dolls and chants Electricity We’re makin’ (weird science) Fantasy and microchips Shooting from the hip Something different We’re makin’ (weird science) Pictures from a magazine Diagrams and charts Mending broken hearts (and makin’) (weird science) Something like a recipe Bits and pieces . . . . Bits and pieces . . . |

Watching "weird science" on TV was such a culmination of epiphanies |

the odd thing is that they didn't even touch that song on either Alive or Farewell. they claim they hate that one, danny elfman himself said that "it was either keep my integrity or feed my band this year, and i chose the latter." guess you can't blame him. |
