Oingo Boingo in Longshot (1981)

Good lord, Elfman. You are the most attractive man in all of history.

[marehtseira]

Yep, I just listened to the other version of this song....it's faster but I still like it!

[lizismestupid]

I just uploaded a different version that's not from the movie, if you want it. It's a little different. Pretty cool. /watch?v=Cr95U21zQ3g

I believe that is Leif Garrett in this video @ 2:13. The 70's meet the 80's!

[marehtseira]

@GEMINITREKKER Yep, it's Leif Garrett; after his teen idol-dom music career in the late '70's, he started acting in the early '80's

I totally want the unedited version of this! And I had it too! My boyfriend deleted it!!! ARG!!

..sigh.

Anyone have it?

[marehtseira]

I tried to move my head like Danny does at the very end by I can't get it to move like that; I don't know how he did it, lol

[NekoChanSenpai]

Waaaaaa! Why can't I find just the song? It's one of the best ones!

[balloondesigners]

Thank you so much for posting this! I've been a Boingo fan for over 25 years and I had NEVER heard of this movie or the song for that matter! You just made my day!

[ShrinkingDad]

I saw Oingo 8 times over the years. I sure miss those shows.

[dessan7]

He's like a psychotic mime

[marehtseira]

@dessan7 I think the old video-quality of this adds to that, lol

[luvBHIC]

I can has Danny Elfman?

Hmm, wonder if Quagmire from Family Guy got his neck thing from Danny...anything's possible :D

[ariencalen]

This movie sucks in comparison with Oingo Boingo!!

[kirkeat]

i like these early oingo boingo performances

not too many of them that i can find

[marehtseira]

Thanks for re-uploading this video, Despina838! I see that youtube must have shut down the previous link to this.

I wish Oingo Boingo had a version of this w/out the dialogue in between, but I'm guessing that this is the only time they recorded this song.

However, I do have such great lines as, "Where's Oddjob? Out having his hat sharpened?" stuck in my head now (my fault). :-)

Linda Manz couldn't even clap for OB at the end? lame

"Oh-woh-woh!"

[boingobabe]

Actually, there is a version without any dialogue. (I have it!) It has slightly different lyrics, but it's dialogue-free, and studio-recorded.

[marehtseira]

Sweet!  Please let me hear it. :-)

@boingobabe

@boingobabe
