Oingo Boingo

The Mystic Knights of the Oingo Boingo were formed as a musical theatre group in 1972 by Richard Elfman and would eventually become the influential new-wave/art punk band known simply as Oingo Boingo. They were best known commercially for their hit song "Weird Science" from the film of the same name and also on their fourth album Dead Man's Party. Their primary songwriter and frontman Danny Elfman would go on to become a well respected and famous film-score composer and work closely with Tim Burton on films such as Beetlejuice (1988), Batman (1989), Edward Scissorhands (1990) and The Nightmare Before Christmas (for which he also sang for lead character Jack Skellington and two supporting roles Barrel and The Clown with the Tearaway Face). He has also scored extensively for iconic TV show The Simpsons.
