@@imaphysician4512 that’s the thing it sounds too good, it’s a backing track being played-the studio track.

absolutely true. real musicians. real artists. generally, the people who are that good, don't get the recognition. It's the ones good at the PR, the game, the image...those are usually the ones who grab the attention. Band was started by his brother...The Mystic Knights of the Oingo Boingo began as a street theater troupe in Los Angeles, founded by Richard Elfman. The name was inspired by a fictional secret society on the Amos 'n' Andy TV series called The Mystic Knights of the Sea. The earliest version of the band employed as many as 15 performers at any given time, playing over 30 instruments, including some instruments built by band members. nobody plays with 15 guys because they want fame and money...

Yup, I remember now. I was a junior in High School '87. Those were the days.

Can we give massive credit to the sound mixer?! It’s fantastically perfect.

I seen them in concert and still have my t shirt, cassette and ticket stub.

Yep, saw this performed live in Portland way back when. Tiny venue, small enough that after playing their set the band drank pitchers of beer with those of us who hung around.

One of the best songs from the 80's freaking awesome!!

I saw Boingo at Universal back in the day, and oh my goodness. It was such an AMAZING concert! I come from a classical background and can appreciate his incredible musicality.

Loved this song in the movie Back to School with Rodney Dangerfield. The 1980’s were the best decade.

[@Vagran]

I can't stop playing this song.

Danny is a genius and with encouragement from his friends he became great

Cfny was an "alternative station" in 80's Toronto. This was there with oingo bingo 's Dead man's party. Love that time, nothing like 80's new wave. 👍

When this sing was played in Dangerfields ‘Back to School’ I lost my $hit! Mind blowing.
