I actually did this I guess you could call it "style" of expressions just for the fun of it with some of my friends and It stuck with me in school as the guy who did the cartoonish stuff lol. anyways, The simple way to say how to do it is basically over-animate your facial expressions whilst jumping your facial muscles with the words.

Oingo Boingo has always such a weird way of presenting their message. Like the message is so clear but subtle at the same time and it’s so odd really. And sometimes with sounds and tones so oddly upbeat compared to the weird and twisted stories being told. But Danny Elfman also expresses those darker themes and emotions in the songs with his odd movements and facial expressions that looks like he’s on the verge of a psychotic breakdown. And his voice also sells that. A mind boggling group but a great group nonetheless.

[@TurkeyVol]

Growing up in suburban southern California in the early 80's (Jay and Amber- think Fast Times at Ridgemont High), "Boingo" were every bit as big, as beloved as the biggest groups at the time. But it seemed like only the college kids that went to their shows in L.A. or high schoolers/junior high kids who heard them on local radio knew about them. Fun times, great music, bizarre humor- Oingo Boingo was a secret handshake among the kids that didn't fit in. And, you haven't even played their early stuff which features HORNS! "On The Outside" "Who Do You Want to Be" "Only A Lad" "Private Life"!

[@GlorifiedTruth]

[@liamgreat8024]

This is my private life I have no friends to fear I've got no problems, no cross to bear If you can find me Come and get me out of here This is my private place Everything is neat and clean The skeletons are hidden in the closet This is my private place Come and get me out of here This is my private life This is my private life This is my private life.... These are my private things There they are against the wall The dirty pictures, religious objects These are my private things Come and get them out of here This is my private bed This is where I lie at night Staring at a lightbulb hanging on the ceiling Waiting for a dream to Come and get me out of here Here in my humble room at night I often wonder what goes on out there What makes them run so scared I often stare at the people passing by But they can't see me through my window shades Just like I'm not even there This is my private life This is my private life This is my private life There's something dangerous I like This is my private life I know my problems aren't your fault What I really want to know: Has it always been this way? This is my private life This is my private life This is my private life Come and get me out of here

[@ntheflesh5687]

Just realized that my friends have been terrible towards me and made me feel miserable. Now I feel like I’m unlovable and alone. For whatever reason, this is the song that speaks to me in my most desperate moments, a plea to be seen by someone, to be noticed and acknowledged. A desperate call for someone, anyone to like you as you truly are. Maybe that’s just me right now though. If your reading this remember, you owe your time to no one. You don’t owe anyone anything. The only thing you owe is love and kindness to yourself. Don’t let anyone make you feel terrible about yourself. Your are amazing and there are people out there who will truly care about you. Thank you for reading, remember to always be kind.

[@nuclearcatbaby1131]

I relate to it too - except for the “neat and clean” part. Well I did promise Mr. Elfman I would clean my room so I could go see him for my birthday this October...

[@dethgarf]

I don’t normally post comments on here, but this really stuck with me. I’m in a similar situation right now and have been contemplating leaving everything behind (can’t really say exactly what I mean unless I want my comment to get removed lmao). I’ve been stuck in a cycle of trying to find someone who likes me without putting in the time and effort of liking myself first. Anyways, what I’m trying to say is that this helped me snap out of those thoughts, and at a very crucial moment too. I cannot thank you enough for taking the time to write all of this. We’ll both find a place where we’re accepted and loved for who we are. No matter how long it takes.

The incredible talent of Danny Elfman notwithstanding, Boingo was an AMAZING band.

[@FREDSDEADBABE]

One line about this song in particular makes me wonder. "There's something dangerous I like." This could be anything. Is the isolation he likes dangerous? Is he on drugs that isolate him and are also dangerous to him? Is it a particular thing he's addicted to that is dangerous to his health? I sorta think that loneliness is the side-effect of having control of everything because he is alone. He loves being alone, but the loneliness really just kills him on the inside. This is a tough one.

[@FREDSDEADBABE]

***** Initially, that is what I thought he said too. I looked up the lyrics, and everything says the latter. It sorta changed my view on what the song meant.

[@lisaparker4688]

Maybe he's bored and lonely, and he wants something dangerous to like, to liven up his existence?

[@catwaller]

[@liamgreat8024]

[@TheHasmith99]

The isolation is dangerous. He lives comfortably, but is aware that he's wasting his life away and the longer he continues that life style, the worse off he'll be off, but he still doesn't want to change. Like someone who's aware of the effects of drugs but can't help themselves...

[@manuelgrotesque7198]

Maybe, but the first albums are the best they've done, more like a live act, then afterwards they used too much that 80's FM big rythm, with less breaks and crazy structure and more important less groove, just like every new wave band you can named they got trapped the mid 80's sound. You don't realy feel a band is playing after the 3rd album (counting forbidden zone as the first). There are good song all along their discography though. Actually that third album with "insects" already has a no-groove sound like a band recording instrument by instruments, but you can feel the songs are from the same batch than Only a lad, so it still feels like a true rock band...

[@wellobviously]

What I took away from this video is this guy likes to keep things to himself and he doesn't want to involve people in his business. He isolates himself so much so that he becomes invisible and its driving him insane. He realizes that with all this privacy comes loneliness. So he pleads for someone to seek him and help him open up. But at the same time he is reluctant since his privacy is his comfort zone so he finds ways to defend it. He's also afraid of the uncomfortable truths that his private life will reveal about him.

[@OingoBoingoTapes]

The video is pretty crumby looking back but people should definitely seek out the album, it's brilliant. This song, he sees himself as he COULD be, if things were different. Many people have been there and you see the world outside without you. The 'private life' you wanted but now you're trapped. The song shines a light on a way out. A lot of Oingo Boingo's great early songs were like that, leads you in then keeps you thinking.

[@Xcorgi]

I've always loved the high quality way Oingo Boingo mixed all their records. There's so much punch in the bass and drums. Bands today just blend it all together and it sounds like mud in comparison. As a result, these old records sound brand new today even compared to what a new group has just released. It probably also has a lot to do with all the shitty digital recordings in studios these days. Originals in the old days were done on reel to reel. To this very day there hasn't been anything to match the type of recording quality the ancient reel to reel provided in studios and in playback. Hell, I'd still prefer records and cassettes to todays CDs. Also, if you have a group's old cassette, you can actually break down and even separate each individual track if you wanted to. There's no way in hell you can do that with CD's

This is the song i need to hear when its 3 am. Time has stopped, my children are asleep upstairs. There is no yesterday, no tomorrow. Only me alone in the darkness, unable to understand how i have come to this place, this age and time. What i really want to know, has it always been this way?
