Danny Elfman - Gratitude

[Mooshpups]

oooh ooooh ooooooh oooh. I dream of you sometimes.

[rigattieriesculturas]

excellent



[pinky2305]

I think if grew up in the 80s I would have been a

fan for sure. Love this look 3

[GreenGearMood]

So uh, why is this the only video uploaded to the Danny Elfman channel?

[GamerChickSER]

Who is the guy in the hat at the poker table?

Because he looks a hell of a lot like Richard Elfman.

And haha, lol, Danny trying to sneak a peak at his cards XP

[tubeyhamster]

This video epitomizes the 80s.

[GamerChickSER]

Okay, when (if at all) was this badass song played in Beverly Hills Cop? I've watched that film twice in the past few days and still don't remember hearing it in there and yet it's on the soundtrack.

That doesn't make any sense.

P.S.

Not only is Danny Elfman a genius, but he's damn fucking gorgeous too!

[kurtinrod420]

Ya know... Sometimes i pretend that i am the sexy psychic and that Danny is giving those dreamy looks of hungry desire to me =)) OOOOooOOOooo i dream of you sometimes...

[cococat44]

CAN HE PLEASE SO SOME BROADWAY STUFF WITH TIM AND MAKE IT SO EXTRAVAGANT SO I CAN SLEEP PEACEFULLY?! <3

[kurtinrod420]

3:10 Danny is SO CUTE AND SEXY AND AMAZINGLY ENTRANCING. I LOVE HIM.... "I dream of you sometimes..."

[Mooshpups]

This video were a person, I'd have sex with it.

[kurtinrod420]

I love Steve's crazy legs <3 hes so cute. and Danny is literally the hottest guy back in the 80's. I am so in love with him

[mirkemp88]

He's so sexy in a freaky kinky way ;-)

[rachellovesadam18]

Yum!

[popsaka1]

...Danny you were so sexy then and now you look like Jerry Springer (but I love you just the same) Maybe you guys could do a Broadway-esque duet?

[shielakay]

always wondered what the genius behind the simpsons theme and all those tim burton scores looked like. deliciously creepy lol.

[smoothcriminal28]

danny elfman has indredible vocals but this video is soooo fucking cheeesy.... lmao

[Alfexhard]

AWESOME

[MJstallonage007]

screw u charles norris danny elfman can slap the demos outta ppl!! elfman for the win

[TheAdabro]

Damn Danny Elfman is sexy! Why do people think I'm so weird for thinking that?!

[clone66]

Elfman would have given Ledger a serious run as the Joker in The Dark Knight.

[foxheart4235]

Danny Elfman, the King of Tank Tops!! God, he was sexy!

[SinfulCache]

close your eyes and imagine Jack Skelington sing this song...!!!

[RFIORELLO8]

Man Danny is so fucking hot in this vid! OINGO BOINGO FOR LIFE!

[auralconcepts]

Is that his brother, Richard Elfman, sitting next to him in the fedora when they're playing cards? I think it is. BTW, everyone should see Richard's "Forbidden Zone" featuring a ton of Danny's (Oingo Boingo's) music and remixes, along with the band in a couple of scenes.

[Despina838]

Yes, it is him.

[99whatever99]

@auralconcepts I think you're right! They look so much alike! XD

[dandeldan]

Hey! It's Jambi @ 1:30... Cool!

[CourtJackal001]

Anyone else want to join the church of Danny Elfman after watching the part where he's slapping the demons out of people?

[foxheart4235]

@CourtJackal001 me!

[seanwtfgamer]

Favorite album OF ALL TIME!!!!!!!

[roberture]

100th Liker. ;)

[ScrewYouPeacock]

There's a Danny Elfman Vevo. wat

[Octoberchic25]

anybody notice he ALWAYS gets the girl??? well...sort of...lol

[OingoBoingoGroupie]

Would this by any chance be about his divorce?

[Despina838]

No, at this time (1984), he was still with his wife Geri and she was pregnant with Mali. LUCKIEST. WOMAN. EVER. *cries*

[portagee66]

@OingoBoingoGroupie Major 80's trivia: Commissioned for Bev Hills Cop, scene where villian Maitland is "betrayed" by his girlfriend, childhood friend of cop played by Eddie Murphy. Other OB members did not want to be pegged for soundtracks just then, so Elfman used his own then-unknown name, in case no one liked it. :D

Since they did, Weird Science was a group effort the following year.

[adracko]

Oingo Boingo FTW

[DingoEmo01]

Why is this on Vevo?! Far too genius!

[rockerclogger]

This is classic goth right here :)

[dragonholder411]

Well well well.... look who had a nice budget for once! XD

[KnightAlbert]

He looks like a Tim Burton character XD

[Allronix]

@KnightAlbert Hell, he looks like he could have played the Joker...with minimal makeup

[OpacmanO1]

@KnightAlbert he wrote the music for all tim burton movies

[KnightAlbert]

@OpacmanO1 I know, that's why it's funny.

[MrZygoticmynci]

Is Danny wearing mascara?

[aarobc]

oh Come on, even my rips are better quality than this

[nuwavevidspud]

Oingo Boingo coolness

[CaptainKatsura123]

3 people don't know what gratitude is.

[Big12189]

I see Mr. Skellington. Doesn't anyone else?

[AV32productions]

and at 1:05?

[AV32productions]

is that Kristen Wiig singing behind him at 0:48 ?

[muzakmusic]

all this of this music will be released on danny elfman and tim burtons 25th anniversary music box set that is being released soon.

check it on facebook or at burtonelfmancom

[Wiccadgirl]

that was his brother sitting next to him in the game with the hat on, fight?

[Despina838]

Right, that's his brother Richard

[MrMikeypch]

full on 80's!

[mccoybrows]

I've just realised that I look like Danny Elfman, and am deeply disturbed by this fact.

[Despina838]

You look like 80's Danny Elfman?  I'm sure a lot of women are awfully interested in you now!

[mccoybrows]

@Despina838 They might, except that I'm female too orz

[Despina838]

Haha, that explains it. I was wondering why in the hell you'd be disturbed to look like Danny Elfman, when you look at the comments females are making.

[mccoybrows]

@Despina838 haha yes. I guess my masculine features finally have an advantage XD

[snidley1979]

Oingo Boingo !?!?

[Despina838]

This is technically an Oingo Boingo song, it was just released under Danny's name.

[snidley1979]

@Despina838 I had a VHS with this song, might still, and it was an Oingo Boingo. Not picking just curious.

[cascoscuro79]

@Despina838 Hi, what does Oingo Boingo mean?

[luvBHIC]

Wow I didn't realize how many different things were going on in this video cuz I was so busy staring at Danny in that wifebeater....I didn't realize that Richard Elfman is sitting next to him in the card playing scene, for one....FUN!

[TwoStepsFromDeath]

creepo~

[Despina838]

Danny Elfman=gorgeous genuis

[Navygunz707]

Danny Elfman=genius !

[Despina838]

There's not a woman on the planet who could watch this and not be attracted to Danny. Espescially when he's wearing the wifebeater.  Hell, this video even makes lesbians question themselves.

[PonyboyInNewZealand]

Holy shit.  Steve Bartek has got some fancy footwork.

[Bond23d]

Ok, so the four members of Oingo Boingo I noticed were, Dale Turner (The Trumpet player) at 2:19 Steve Barteck (the Guitar Player) at 2:48 the (The Bass Player) John Alvia and the drummer Johnny Herandez at 3:43, and i still cant tell if thats the Saxophone player at 1:28

[Bond23d]

@Bond23d sorry i cant tell if thats the saxopone player @ 1:27

[Despina838]

Yep, Danny was one helluva hot looking man in the 80's....

[honeybfly2010]

Danny Elfman was hella hot back in the 80's! He is especially yummy in this video! Oh...and the man's got some talent...he is definitely gifted!

[twilinerd]

I love this song! But the ending always makes me want to cry!

[tausf456]

He's still a genius!

[OingoBoingoGroupie]

I would've loved to be his inmate. :)

[Keira13]

.....Iwanttorunmyfingersthroug­hhishair.

[luvBHIC]

Danny has the most fascinating eyes I've ever seen, they're hypnotic almost :)

[alatanike]

@luvBHIC lol yes especially at 2:52

[supermandisco]

Possessed Michael Keaton.

[soulmach]

I was two years old when it came out. I would have loved this in high school.

[tausf456]

I haven't seen this video since high school!!!

[OingoBoingoGroupie]

is that richard elfman by him at 2:29?

[scarletine]

I think it is...they look so much alike!

[Despina838]

Yep that's his brother Richard sitting next to him
