Oingo Boingo Dead Man's Party

[ZimRocker777]

I love that this video has stuff from Back to School in it! I'll never forget when my dad made me watch that movie to see my reaction to when Boingo appeared. I FLIPPED. :) Love them so much.

[mrbits]

The unforgettable Thornton Melon.

[Bl3ssthefall99]

the 80's always had good music n im not even born in the 80's

[theabcsofstds]

danny is a ginger, he doesn't have a soul

[amf521]

Somebody help me find this F****** sheet music -.-

[12bulkhead]

Back to School was F***ing hilarious!

[qwistie21]

2:22

RDJ!! <3

[ColoradoHatesYou]

"don't run away - its only me..." Danny Elfman is one ugly creepy looking fucker. this guy needs to put on a fresh wifebeater.

[Despina838]

@ColoradoHatesYou I think us women have given the verdict on that one.

[ColoradoHatesYou]

@Despina838 haha. i totally hate his face

[MrJowee]

68 people don't like keytars.

[pauliewalnutsful]

@1:37 Whats a bath without bubbles?

[MrAmberRocker]

@pauliewalnutsful LOL a fartlees one  P: j/k

[1viridis]

I didn't realize how infectious the energy of this song is until it ended.

And I had to play it again. And again. And again!!!

[mellowmusician]

67 people ran away..

[Nepenthesfreak]

I love this song! His voice really reminds me of Robert Smith though...

[fzzkgr]

yeah used to like this band... kinda GAY now

[Supersweetguy]

@fzzkgr It was the 80's, and they have disbanded almost 17 years ago. What do you want to do? Let them do this by being manly? Come on!!!

[wettacos4ever]

your kinda gay this band rocks! poser !

[amberismyenergy]

67 people are actually dead/ dying.

[413xxx86]

Danny Elfman is the shit!!! I never knew he was in oingo boing until I was watching the extras on Nightmare Before Christmas.

[MrAmberRocker]

@413xxx86 Oh my, that's a bit embarring. I take it you never noticed who did the soundtrack for "The Simpson's" either or the soundract of Rodney Dangerfield's film "Back to School". LOL J/K. This song is actually in the soundtrack for "Back to School", just as the song "Skin" is in the movie "Nightbreed", though a little less known. It remains IMO one of Oingo Boingo's best songs ever.

[TheCopperchopper]

@413xxx86 You have to be the shit to marry Bridget Fonda!

[oceanavekid]

this song is why the 80's were AMAZING

[AngieEnz84]

This song is fun as all get out. Alive OR dead, if this doesn't make you dance like crazy, well, then...there's just no hope for you.

Also, echoing the endless stream of girls on here...good god, Danny *Drools*... Those arms alone are just...GUH. I like.

[GamerChickSER]

@AngieEnz84 You summed up this video in one. I officially like you.

[AngieEnz84]

@GamerChickSER Heh, thanks :). I like you, too!

[GamerChickSER]

@AngieEnz84 This song had me dancing around my kitchen and I didn't even care who saw :D And Danny Elfman should be every teenage girl's dream ... if not, something wrong X)

[AngieEnz84]

@GamerChickSER Oh, god, I've done that, too, totally :D. Heck, I'll hear a song like this while sitting in my chair at the computer, and still can't stop moving all over.

No argument on the second part there, too. I swear sometimes I truly feel I was born in the wrong year...

[Despina838]

@AngieEnz84 I'd rather I was born in '84 than '87. My earliest memories are from '89, which kind of sucks, lol. But I'm just glad I was born in the most awesome decade. It's unfortunate that I never got to have sex with a young Danny Elfman, though.

[AngieEnz84]

@Despina838 Fair enough (though, thanks, you've made me feel slightly old :p).

I remember loving the song "Weird Science" as a kid-Danny was involved with quite a few things I loved as a child (and still love). So it's kind of weird to think all these years later I now have a crush on someone who was a big part of my childhood. Ah, well.

[GamerChickSER]

@AngieEnz84 Oh god, me too. I want to have been born in the 70s so I could have experienced the 80s firsthand. And I agree with @Despina838 on her last point too.

[Raymux]

Leave your body and soul at the door...

[Wolfibebeca]

Chuck !!

[NellieForbush]

Haha, Sherlock Holmes at :59

[whatever3210]

A cool ginger! Not sure if he has a soul though.

[MerkinMuffly]

Ready Player One brought me here. I lived through the 80s and don't recall this song at all, thought this might jar my memory, but nada.

[piatoscanoangel]

@MerkinMuffly

Where was this rock you lived under? LOL

[faith101901]

My dad showed me this and i've been loving his music ever since!

[midsplit]

@SHAKACONIFY

he can't, he's dead.

[bubblesocks251]

wow gingers do have souls! :D

[DanteMustDie1987]

ready player one!

[BigBossFatMoss]

Yeah yeah let him in.

[anovello21]

2011 and this song is still AWESOME

[LilaHerzal]

[tomfrankly]

i could listen to the "don't run away" part all day

[GamerChickSER]

This is SO weird!

But in the best possible way EVER! :D

Danny Elfman fan for life!

[TheCogre]

[Xhopelessromantic0]

Danny Elfman is a god. The end.

[harrynginny4eva]

He's creepy as hell, but I love this band's music!

[BooMudd]

[shinmenmunisai]

[EmilyCOC]

[metr0labs]

Jackson Cullen

[DanceLover3190]

OMG one of the best bands ever, i don't care what anyone says they were and will always be amazing even if they're not recognized that much...Boingo fan for life!!!

[itsthelolocaust]

what.....uh.....what happened that made the 80's lose their shit?

[TheRegart]

this is my first taste of Oingo Boingo, and I loved it.

[JennWakely]

the theme for my halloween party this year... super awesome!

[ruthrox100]

when did Mtv give up music for acting i am 12 and all i remember of Mtv is acting

[WeknowhoUR]

@ruthrox100 You missed out. Sorry! It was great being a teen in the early 80's when MTV was new and real. Sorry for the pun. Just watch youtube and you will see what real musicians with modern technology and art can do with a little creativity. Now we just have mathematical algorithms creating music for the masses.

[WeknowhoUR]

@ruthrox100 BTW. Elfman is a GOD.

[mylargebreasts]

Hot Ass chicks dancing with Rodney!

[xLiZAxLiLix]

thumbs up if ur here cuz of bones x)

[MrDaveBurl]

80s hair bands sucked like nothing sucked before it !!!

[Supersweetguy]

@MrDaveBurl And it what the 80's sucked? Haters.

[mylargebreasts]

Not my origional quote but..."Music from the 80s is more fun than a barrel of monkeys!"

[TeamAntiSocial]

Oh Danny Elfman.

[riverroest]

you can usually tell the awesomeness of a band by how gay they look^^

[DobbysStinkySock]

This. Ginger. Wants. Your. Soul.

[OAKLANDSHAWTY]

@DobbysStinkySock I can live with that :D

[Foxclass]

1:52 do the Urkel!

[1TheSarcastic]

He only needs to leave his body at the door, since gingers have no soul!

Jk JK

[kittenguy5]

im definitely on a Boingo hype right now :D

[MsMamabear420]

GREAT SONG EVeRY ONE should listen to a little of this type of music

[powerliftingmama]

[theblaststudio]

[alteregoAtlas]

2:22 ...um ..what? D:

[MrPowiem]

VETTEL ?

[poleeed]

this was on MTV. what happened????

[PeanutFromED]

Just took a blast of semen while listening to this.

[KaydeyRai]

I found the Back to school vinyl sountrack unopened for 1.50 in a charity shop, I bought it just for this song 

[brentsonier]

did anyone come here cause of ready player one?

[KILLERMONKEY420Xx]

my music teacher showed us this

[chromiumdog]

I got Danny to autograph this (on vinyl) back in 1990. Everyone else had his soundtrack work.

His only comment was "where did you get this and how much do you want for it?"

Sadly, I lost it in a house fire in 1995.

[ShizomaruKun]

why the hell is pedobear in the related videos?

[Flinklehurst]

@ShizomaruKun Because of the association with a different Oingo Boingo song.

[Derptron6000]

@ShizomaruKun little girls - oingo boingo

[SuperMagoo12]

this band shows that geeks are now and will always be cool

[gothichyppie]

Tour de force by Elfman on 'Back to School', he did the score AND Oingo Boingo made an awesome cameo!

[DrGabbe94]

Bring back Oingo Boingo now!! Danny sure is a genius! I don't get it, when i ask People if they know who danny is they just stand there and lookin dumb and say danny what? He's like the new mozart

[heinlich1]

67 people are like dead man in a party

[heinlich1]

bring me back to the 80's!!!!!!

where parties were much too funnier and crazy than today's

[SadisticMagician54]

I agree Boingo is a band you associate with winter (Tim Burton) and Halloween/Fall

[murderface74]

this is Liam's choice

[LordJanyx]

67 people need to drink bleach and die.

[cavemanf]

Cool video!!!

[kazidelicious]

I love this song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



[miss9maleena]

Where can I get his cd! I love his music!

[413xxx86]

A Thorn For Every Heart does a sick cover of this. Its on Punk Goes 80s

[SHAKACONIFY]

Michael Jackson can eat a dick.  Oingo Boingo makes the best Halloween music.

[cmonutube]

@SHAKACONIFY ya damn hipster. I bet your disdain for michael jackson is because he's too "mainstream."

[SHAKACONIFY]

@cmonutube My disdain for Michael is because he likes little boys. Oh, and he is no longer main stream and has not been for some time.

[MJfan4ever123456]

@SHAKACONIFY No he doesen't. The best halloween music is horror movie themes,like Halloween theme. Why do you disrespect MJ but respect this pedo?

[davettalashley]

@SHAKACONIFY Seriously y'all? How can you say Thriller wasn't the shit?

[lilcordette144]

@SHAKACONIFY that wont be a problem for micheal jackson lol

[billiejean1150]

@SHAKACONIFY that explains why more people watched his video :/ this is not bad but michael jackson is better

[No13Machine]

This is the song of October 31st. DANCE WITH ME!

[TheGallantGentry]

My favorite Halloween jam! Suck on THAT Thriller!

[dangerousrandy]

You know you're at a lame Halloween party when they don't play this song at least 5 times

[ImmatureShenanigans]

The 2 sexiest men ever in one video?! ROBERT AND DANNY?!

Damn 80s music was catchy.

Also what is the film called using the clips?

[Despina838]

@ImmatureShenanigans Back To School

[TheNothingHorde]

@ImmatureShenanigans back to school, i think

[corvis74]

@ImmatureShenanigans Rodney Dangerfield movie "Back to School" from 1986.

[kazidelicious]

@corvis74 thanks I was wondering what movie this was in it was killing me trying to figure it out.

[ImmatureShenanigans]

@corvis74 Thanks. (:

[triplettam]

The GREAT Danny Elfman.

[MaliceMalgrim]

EVERYONE should listen to this song at least once before going out to party tonight!

[DarkRose19987]

Danny elfman + that gutiar dance thingy = GOD DAMN SMEXY

[panhavornchhun1993]

BEST HALLOWEEN SONG EVER

[deedee2020able]

Happy Halloween everyone...I just posted this everywhere - Twitter, Facebook, and myspace...

[triciapowers]

It's just NOT Halloween without this song! 10/31/11 :)

[TheJaredWarren]

Happy Halloween everybody!

[CBunny19]

How can anyone not like this stuff? It's so fun!! :)

[TheMoniqueBC]

second 27 he looks as evil as Dexter!

[ahkid69]

LUV IT

[powerkor]

hate this music and the band

[termometen]

@powerkor then why are you so retarded that you watch it!?... no one forces you to, so GTFO and watch something else stupid!!!!!

[nathanallencox]

Carrot Top gives me the creeps.

[termometen]

@nathanallencox as I already replied to someone else, GTFO if you don't like it :/. and BTW, you're probably just an insecure retard if you pick on people just because there hair color... just saying

[willscomix]

@nathanallencox *Danny Elfman

[BaddBrad61]

Silly Song, Silly video, Great Entertainment!!

[MrFaptastic]

Gotta love the drummer's Balrog haircut!

[AlwaysBewitchTheMind]

I'm all dressed up with nowhere to go...........

[Keviva007]

66 people were not invited.

[sanhima1]

Okay, I'm wondering who doesn't like this song. I used to listen to this way too early in the morning on my way to school. The people I rode with were into this and other early alternative Brit Pop. Yeah, I know Oingo Boingo isn't Brit Pop, but we were the weird band kids.

[DickFromAccounting]

What a hearty jig.

[PostiveMindBodySoul]

I discovered Oingo boingo in an old tape collection, I love this music! even though I am 23 I was only in the 80's for a short time...

[Sunshinestar]

Happy Halloween...Best Freakin' Holiday EVER!

[testnumberone1]

i probably would run away if it were him.

[3YLSYKR]

Looks like him

[AsianHuelsman2]

at 0:59 is that robert downey jr?

[Despina838]

@AsianHuelsman2

 It is.

[TsugaruClan]

@AsianHuelsman2 That is indeed Robert Downey Jr. It's also him getting his face grabbed at 1:06.

[MrElectricBill]

Hmm, Avila looks so tiny!

[XXdetonator890]

Thumbs if you have this on cassette.

[54Panchopper]

They will play this at my  funeral :{)

[est3inb3rg]

and wormser from revenge of the nerds plays keyboards on this

[dorlack]

I came here due to Tom Delonge referencing this song.

[benjplanelover9]

I have a skeleton hanging in chains by my front door for halloween. So I guess I already followed OB's orders.

[bravelover95]

who's still watching this in like 2011 2012?

[rochey1010]

This song is so fun and catchy...God, theres just something about 80's music that makes me light up <33

[heatherkaudy]

Am I the only one who thinks that Danny Elfman and Carrot Top look suspiciously like brothers ?????? Just sayin'........

[NellieForbush]

0:21 SA.TAN! -shudder- Amazing song though!

[ThePowerIsBeast]

Who would've guessed that Tim Burton's best friend was a buff ginger who wears a wife-beater!

[212013114]

@ThePowerIsBeast

Not only that, but still having fun working together. How does that work?

"Hey Danny, its Tim. I'm movie about a Vampire Family. You In?" Tim asked.

"Sounds good to me." Danny replied. "I take it that Helena and Johnny is in it?"

"Yep."

"Good. See ya soon and we'll have lauch."

That's what I think. But I'm crazy that way.

[fleaninja]

Just finished Ready Player One, and it was amazing!!!

[EthanCaineDotCom]

Damn you Ready Player One...I can't stop watching this video!

[YnezG]

We all know gingers are creepy but none creepier than Danny Elfman.

[Monstar515]

Reading ready player one brought me here thumbs up if your following in my footsteps

[TheMedievalHamster]

October 1st, 2011. Come on people more Oingo Boingo for the holidays

[thornie123]

How can you dislike this?

[sunflo22]

he is my idol i love him

[TinaAlejo]

Way back then.... He could have played the rock star, lestat role!!! and he has his own sharpies!!! 

[Redddie4]

Danny freaking rocks!!! He has been around forever and still rocks!!

[MillaXilla]

Did I see Robert Downey Jr. and Jane Lynch?

[Phalisaurus]

You know who else was a babe back in the '80s? Steve Bartek.

[BBnanner]

this video is so cool. not only is Tony Stark in it, but Bruce Wayne is the singer, too

[buckiemohawk]

actually, Danny dissolved the band because he wanted to do other things. Like do the music for Tim Burton movies

[rtmg290]

@buckiemohawk Yes he moved on to be a composer for TIm Burton movies and the theme for Simpsons. He was mostly concerned about the permanent damage to his hearing which was caused by being in a band.

[Supersweetguy]

@buckiemohawk In early 2007, Danny Elfman said there would not be a reunion. He has irreversible hearing loss and is worried that playing live would exacerbate it. He stated that some other members of the band may also suffer from the condition.

[LocoRico89]

Everyone is invited to my Dead Man's Party...Just leave your body at the floor!

[manbaerpigg]

back to school is ol skool....miss ya rodney

[Bl3ssthefall99]

oh do me huhuhuhuhuhhu you gotta love robert downie jr.
