| 1. | The Mystic Knights of the Oingo Boingo | ||
|
A musical-comedy-theatrical troupe that lasted through the 70s. The large group of weirdos and whack-jobs was fronted by Richard Elfman. The group appeared on "The Gong Show" in 1976 and won. In 1979, Richard turned the reins over to his younger brother Danny, who shortened the name and created the eight-man rock group Oingo Boingo. In 1980, the Mystic Knights were featured in, and performed the music for, Richard Elfman's "no-budget" musical comedy "Forbidden Zone."
The groups acts usually consisted of sight gags and eccentric costumes. The most notable was a giant dragon suit that appeared on "The Gong Show" and, during one of their shows, sprayed the audience with his fire-extinguisher penis. The group had only one release in the 70s by Penthouse Records (a division of the magazine) and is extremely hard to find; however videos and bootleg performances can be found online. Appearing tonight on "The Gong Show"... The Mystic Knights of the Oingo Boingo!

Excellent, quite original band with unique style, often compared to Devo. Fronted by Danny Elfman, who wrote the theme song for The Simpsons, has scored several movies (incredibly well) including nearly every Tim Burton film ever made. Acts as the singing voice for Jack Skellington in the classic Disney film "Nightmare Before Christmas." The other members of the band, while brilliant, are often ignored because of Elfman's overwhelming stage presence. Oingo Boingo's best songs can be found on "The Oingo Boingo Anthology," which features "Little Girls," "Only a Lad," "On the Outside," "Wild Sex in the Working Class," "Not My Slave," and several other interesting tunes. Oingo Boingo was formed in California and originally went by the name "Mystic Knights of the Oingo Boingo," which was later shortened.
Elfman's vocal range is otherworldly, so Boingo's songs never get boring. Check this band out. I was listening to Oingo Boingo all for several hours last night and had a seizure from their awesomeness.

The best band in the universe, fronted by Danny Elfman. Danny Elfman is basically the mortal equivalent of Jesus Christ, only with more chops. I must repent for my sins and be saved, let me play some Oingo Boingo records.

Used to refer to Oingo Boingo fans. "I went to a party at this guy's house the other night - and Oingo Boingo was playing all night. Either he was being really lazy about the playlist, or he was a real boingoloid.

A vagina. In the family guy episode, where peter goes back in time with the help of death, and ruins his relationship with lois, brian asks lois if he can "ram his oingo boingo, into her velvet underground" referring to her vagina. Also, a kickass band. Brian: lois, can I ram my oingo boingo, into your velvet underground?
Lois: I love velvet underground. |

Eyes that have the ability to change color depending on what is worn or seen. Caitlin: "Dad, what color eyes do you have?"
Dad: "well, they don't have a constant color. So I'd say I have oingo boingo eyes." |
