Oingo Boingo, possibly one of the greatest bands ever.

(According to me.)

I’ve been on this little Oingo Boingo kick for the last few days.  It started on Saturday when I pulled out one of their old CD’s to listen to, and since then I’ve been ruminating on their greatness.  Danny Elfman is a genious with his lyrics and they know how to utilize a horn section.  Today on todd’s iPod I played “Only A Lad” and the sarcastic tone of the song made me smile.  Good stuff.  Of course Mr. Elfman makes a ton of money scoring movies and from his theme for The Simpsons.  That’s probably a good gig.  But check out some of the old Oingo Boingo tunes out there.  Good stuff!
