Every time someone mentions this being in some show or some game or some movie I just want to strangle them. The song is singing about "Who you want to be", for god's sake, I don't want to be Teen Wolf or Tony Hawk, thank you very much. I wanna be a crossdressing detective alien cowboy built by Dr. Light.
OH SCREW TONY HAWK. Those games ruined my childhood. >:l
Why can't I enjoy music for what it is? Why does it have to remind me of terrible skating games? Really. It annoys me that you have to bring it up when it's completely unnecessary. The only reason why that comment is highly voted is because you guys actually heard of it, even though Tony Hawk is probably the most famous skater in the world.
This is a good song. I don't see how or why this relates to Skating. This gives it's own aura.
@Merugaf Nice spelling you have there. I never said I didn't know it was from a Tony Hawk game. All I'm saying is when I hear this song I don't want to think about Tony Hawk. I want to think about the first thing that comes to mind-- Not Tony Hawk. I never heard this song before. And I never played the Tony Hawk game it was in. I think because of that, I get to enjoy it with a fresher and more creative mind, rather than limiting it to a song about Skating. Which it's not.
yes yes, everyone loves oingo boingo. then again, think, if it weren't for them, movies today would never have been graced by the musings of danny elfman, such as the themes from batman begins, or the spiderman movies
oingo boingo is the shit their song are so catchy and different from one to thy others wierd science, no one live forever , who do you to be today, only a lad. they all are great song !!!!
I love this song, but whenever I listen to it now it feels incomplete without Paulallen360's ending. You know, it goeas "Who do you want to---adffgdkeurtiurbljTWENTY-ONE JIGGAWATTS!!"
I first came across this song in 1987 when I was a little kid. I heard it in Teen Wolf Too. A crappy sequel to a great movie starring Michael J. Fox. The sequel with Jason Bateman isn't as good, but it's got a decent soundtrack. Love this song.
@johnafirth good for you.......... but............ i first heard this on TEEN WOLF,TOO sound track. when he's knocking out the competition..... a good movie moment.... not starting a fight.... just saying my part. cheers.
I like SUMO CYCO's better
