I love oingo boingo the Best

[@sPi711]

Always loved Steve Bartek's guitar work

[@BadRonald1]

Oh yeah He’s essential to there sound.

[@Magickastraeus]

The change in Boingo's style is so apparent in this video vs Farewell. The need for a look was important in the early days of new wave.

[@OingoBoingoTapes]

They never cared too much for a planned look other than in the earliest days 1979-1980 ish when Danny wore some pretty snazzy outfits. It went away but then touring Good For Your Soul he wore this baggy white suit for a bit. But Danny’s philosophy was really to let the band wear whatever they wanted and focus on the music. Years later with their last album they started dressing like 90s teenage skaters, not sure whose idea that was! But still didnt care too much for image

My first concert was Oingo Boingo in 90'. I was 11 years old at the time and grew up listening to them. Boingo has always been my favorite band💀.

Why couldn't it be the Oingo Boingo virus I could put up with quarantined with Boingo albums. To bad it's just another day

That's Orginal

Kerry Hatch was a bad ass Bass player. And had killer tone.

[@socaltoobie8984]

I was heartbroken when he left the group. But saw a couple of performances of Zuma 2 that he and Richard Gibbs moved on to. 😊

LUCKYYY

[@suedeheadd]

kinda sad abt the playback/lipsync but danny's sick moves make up for it in all seriousness though, im surprised at danny's ability to move. maybe it's because i'm as stiff as a wooden plank when i dance, but JEEEZ he looks so free and like hes having the time of his life while performing. i love their energy, it's contagious

[@BadRonald1]

It’s better for them to lip sync to the song Because then they won’t really have to concentrate on playing and plus they don’t have to worry about what they sound like because they’re gonna sound perfect because it’s the album and everybody will also think that too. So nothing wrong with lip-synching to the song

[@johncopple6479]

Look at Sluggo!!!

Classic entertainment 🤗

[@marklazio11]

it sucks that the chopped the song and made them lip-sync ... :/

[@retroguy1976]

most music shows were like that in case they were sick it wouldn't strain their voice

[@BadRonald1]

Nothing wrong with lip-synching. It sounds better for them. It’s less work for the engineers.

[@SpockMonroe]

An interesting choice singing WakeUP for mainstream Bandstand. I wonder what they were thinking. Maybe the lyrical quality of the song. I dug it and recall this show.

Pretty complex sound for a pop band -- love the horn section. Still, that lead singer won't amount to anything . . .

I miss that guy.... What a neat show he always brought positive energy

[@gurgisjones1120]

Great song, but the band is really looking goofy here at this point in time. Still fun to watch.

[@dethmaul]

How much cocaine was in them for this taping? lol

[@odaydrums]

lip sync

[@BadRonald1]

Nothing wrong with that

[@odaydrums]

@@BadRonald1 as a musician I just like to hear how they cover the tune live is all. No judgment

[@BadRonald1]

@@odaydrums as a drummer myself, I get what you’re saying But then it would have to be a whole big production thing to have to get an engineer, the sound guy, microphones, mic the kit ,you know the whole jazz, then do like five takes of it and try to pick the best one and blah blah blah

[@odaydrums]

@@BadRonald1 yeah sometimes ( most times ) I will watch live performances to learn songs quickly is all. You know how long I had to look to find an actual live drummer playing I Wanna Dance with Somebody?😆

[@bobyost42]

I hate watching bands lip sync
