the magazine says it’s from 1986 so do what you will with that information :0

head shots from anthology; the main difference between these and the ones from gfys being that the contrast is less sharp and heavy

Anytime I find new content of Oingo Boingo/Danny Elfman

Me:Bruh. That just really oingos my boingos. 

Sometimes I ask myself,

“If I die and people go through my social media and all they see is me severely over attaching myself to an imaginary friend as a coping mechanism, will that be embarrassing or not?”

And to that I will give this for an answer

“Probably but he’s like really fucking hot, now shut up and go back to trying to reality shift to a world where you and him dancing in the middle of a carnival while Oingo boingo is giving a live concert”

naggingatlas:

scout - sweat. the tempo the lyrics the overall character of it yesss yesssss yessssss i don’t even have to comment on anything
demo - helpless. griffins death pose ³ . oh he rrreally hit rrrock bottom oi. gene said this is the most she’d ever heard a character in a song. no mum killing tho. might have thought about it idk really, not a fan of sugarcoating how fucked up his upbringing was. anyway this being like the most acoustic song out of all of them? perfect. perfect demo material. also danny sounds like a yakuza character.
spy - dead or alive + find you. 1. gene has a superbly logical explanation that it’s about the dead ringer and is obviously not from his perspective. i adore it. i am also a schizo princess and like it when things don’t make no fucking cents luv so its like spy and he’s thinking about himself from someone else’s perspective mb he’s got like a little stanley parabola narrator in his brain and he panics at the thought of himself………. and he Loves it. he loves himself :) 2. oh wow what the fuck oh wow what the fuck oh wow what th yeah pls listen to this shit above all else. gene recommends listening to them both as not from spy’s perspective but im evil and stupid im the devil on ur shoulder saying idgaf.
soldier - vultures. gene review: “exceptional animatic potential”. the acoustic in the bg swaying up and down adds so fucking much idk it’s so classicky-sounding fits janey finely. рокетжампим товарищи.
engie - wild sex in the working class. the actual fucking fact this title exists. the samples. the thoughts of dell workin his ass off on those oil rigs or whateva and then going to a gay bar!!!!!!!! fuck!!!
pyro - only a lad. obv. oh the struggles of an unknowingly aggressive nd kid! the “perhaps a little bit confused?”– fucking gets me!!!!!!!!!!! i don’t take the lyrics seriously all the way she’s got a pretty different backstory in my mind (has the oh fuck it’s That kid stuff as well just diff) but it’s still fun still fun
sniper - on the outside. autism B) just a really good and realistic (like the bitch can get angry thank you) depiction of snipah. genie also thinks “this sounds like australian music idk” sakjdfhdskjh
medic - perfect system + what you see. 1. ok so this is SO COOL ACTUALLY. first OBVIOUSLY perfect medic melody INSANELY MEDIC-LIKE VOCALS i want to ouroboros myself every time he sounds like he hits himself in the throat, sSECOND! see, in my head med hates all the governments the most out of all the mercs and i imagine him singing this to himself to ironically express how fucking much he hates it :) AND the . how the fuck do you call it. like med’s bad at empathy and relationships and shit esp before misha and the “in love” parts are him mocking that institute of “this is how u should like people” that he had never fit into. omggg 97 personality disorders pride. ALSO the word brothers sounds so good and natural comin out of his mouth. + just figure that one out urself its simple and its more satisfying that way :) GIGAMEDIC VOCALS HERE AS WELL!!!!
heavy - mary. gene was super uncomfortable talking about this one in any more depth than “no comment” and “the mountain symbolizes a lot of things but no not homosexuality. thatd be cringe”. this is like neutral milk hotel levels of fucked up lyrics in the context of misha. fucked up in general. wow.

I beg to differ, Medic’s song is clearly Weird Science.

32. NO ONE LIVE FOREVER

_____________________________________________________

Remember ‘The Mystic Knights of the Oingo Boingo’? You know, from ‘Forbidden Zone’? How about the abbreviated 8-piece 'Oingo Boingo’? Maybe with neon spelling out their name while they perform for Rodney Dangerfield and Robert Downey Jr. in 'Back to School’? Or maybe Lucifer himself - Danny Elfman - composing film scores and singing in Henry Selick’s ‘The Nightmare before Christmas’? Maybe you remember them… maybe you don’t. But one thing is certain - no one (no one no one no one no one) lives forever*.
