Forbidden Zone ('81 Demo) - Oingo Boingo | Only A Lad 1981

[@burtonboy5448]

This sounds more like something you would hear in Rocky Horror Picture Show

[@lightbluepika2175]

THIS VERSION IS SO FUNNT but also it makes me imagine what could’ve been if oingo boingo had contributed to the killer klowns from outer space soundtrack. clown music in clown movie. A Dream .....

[@johann-wp7lj]

that’d be so cool

[@thomchiki]

The Dickies do a great job by themselves.

[@johnnybites554]

THIS SOUNDS SICK AS HELL AND THE QUALITY IS SO GOOD

[@minespatch]

Danny Elfman sounds like he's channeling Richard O' Brian in this version.

[@jkpstudios3456]

It sounds like a version of "Forbidden Zone" that plays in the end credits of the movie of the same name.

[@waxeater112]

because it is

[@autumnrottings]

I don't see why this song was never fully 'released' like the other albums were, or on a compilation, it's so good!

[@zhiracs]

I remember picking up a bootleg compilation in Santa Barbara of Only A Lad demos that were degraded and artefacting to hell. This and the others you've been uploading were on it. So good to hear this arrangement in proper quality.

[@pyramidserum]

wow the amount of different versions for these songs is amazing it’s like christmas morning when boingo tapes uploads with a different version

[@brokensoul8390]

God i wish they kept that sax solo for the final version

[@OingoBoingoTapes]

This was after the released version, the sax solo was added

[@strongfork]

OH MY GODD I LOVE THIS VERSION

[@waxeater112]

oh my god music that makes you levitate holy shit

[@JamieSwitzer]

Oooo, I love this version too!!

[@RealisticFishing]

[@elfman72]

[@randyj420]

[@PeteHoots]

This is wonderful. Keep the uploads coming!

[@dean107]

wtf fire

[@solara9551]

i am behind you with a knife

[@tealfeline]

ooooohhh the solo

[@Jimbo1221]

Oingo boingo is so weird.....

[@flippy101mph9]

it's a kind of science that not everyone can do some how I can weirdly enough

[@barkboingfloom]

The horns are definitely missed on this version. Maybe this version is a little more "New Wave".

[@oystamato]

this is sick as fuck...i wish these were released

[@ghostnick8668]

This is probably a prototype of the later version.

[@OingoBoingoTapes]

This is the later version recorded after the movie and it was performed this way live in 1980 shows

[@Romgoob2]

Dilbert????

[@DocDoccus]

Yup. this has elements of the theme song to the Dilbert animated series (written by Elfman, of course)

[@spenglerstwinkie3291]

is this public domain (assuming it was because it was never released)?

[@OingoBoingoTapes]

No a commercially unreleased recording remains property of the artist and also this song was published in a different form for the movie soundtrack so technically was released

[@flippy101mph9]

​@@OingoBoingoTapes not to mention their DEMO EP
