Hopefully that hasn't been covered, but here goes....

For the Oingo Boingo fans out there, what are your favorites songs?

Mine are Stay, Who Do You Want To Be and Bachelor Party.

Oooh, this is hard!

I'll go with No One Lives Forever today but if you asked me tomorrow it might change to Home Again or Little Girls.

"Stay"
"Goodbye Goodbye"
"Just Another Day"
"No One Lives Forever"
"Nothing Bad Ever Happens to Me"

  I LOVE Oingo Boingo and have been a fan since like 1980 (around the time the movie "The Forbidden Zone" came out.)  I had the pleasure of meeting Danny and all the guys at an after show gathering in the VIP lounge after an Oingo Boingo show in Chicago in 1987!  Ill never forget that night!

What an awesome opportunity!  I hope they were as fun as they seem.

To this day, Dead Man's Party is one of my favorites of all time!

I dunno, I was never an Oingo fan.  They seemed to have all the elements that would make me like them, but they just never did it for me.  I did like "Dead Man's Party" and "Weird Science" because they played them on the radio, but when I went to listen to the rest of the albums I came up bored.  I've said snotty things in the past about Danny Elfman as a composer, and I'll refrain here.

Dead Man's Party and Weird Science

me too, I think it's an awesome song. 8) I also like "Dead Man's Party" (which is probably their best-known song), "Weird Science" and "Little Girls." "Just Another Day" and "Only A Lad" are pretty good too. So I think I know a good number of their songs.

I think there was a poll on Boingo songs a few years back, but it's probably buried deep down by now. Let's just carry on with this one...

Oh wow, the Mystic Knights of the Oingo Boingo!  I love them.

I guess if I have to pick 3, it would be Dead Man's Party, Little Girls, and Weird Science.  But there are so many others, like You Really Got Me (who did it before The Kinks did).

And not many know, but they actually got their start on The Gong Show.  If you look on YouTube, there is a clip of them there.

  As a fellow Boingo fan, I appreciate your love of Oingo Boingo!  But you do have one fact wrong, the Kinks did do "You Really Got Me" way before the Mystic Knights did.  The Kinks original version came out in the early 60s, when the Boingo guys were all still little kids!  Mystic Knights didnt form until the mid 70s.

And I guess the ' Mystic Knights ' later evolved to Oingo Boingo, after Danny Elfman joined as the frontman.

My bad, you are right.

Nope, that was the original name, "The Mystic Knights of the Oingo Boingo".  It originally started as a "Performance Art" group, kinda similar to Blue Man Group.  The group started in 1972, Elfman became the front-man in 1976, and in 1980 it changed from comedy-performance to a New Wave music group, known as just "Oingo Boingo".

Why is this not a poll? My vote would be for "Weird Science".
