I love it/him/her/them 😑
OK, I've never heard of them but the very name has made me eager to check them out.

hah them, its a old 80's band. They sing Dead Man's Party or the theme song for "Weird Science" If you like Tim Burton, the lead singer Danny Elfman, does close to all of the music for him. He was the singing voice for Jack from The Nightmare Before Christmas

He's done the soundtracks for pretty much all of Tim Burtons movies and wrote the theme for The Simpsons. He wrote the score for the Spider-man movies as well. He's like a darker version of John Williams.

yeup...its my favorite band ever...just thought i would let other people know about it!

D-Double .. and some junk

Oingo Boingo is tight! 😱

They're so quirky and the actual music is surprisingly masterful. It's kool listening to their old records and hearing bits of score from Pee-Wee's big adventure and Batman... 😂 .... Danny Elfman is the man.

what do you suggest for a first time listener?

tinkerbell668 Queen of da swashbucklers

Umm...well they have their Farewell Tour soundtrack (you can find on iTunes) and it covers all their back bones songs...but not all of their songs are on there...so i guess you should just go for anything you can find!
