Get the Thomas Olinger mug.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.

Get the omigod mug.An eccentric little rock band known for some of their bizarre, macabre music. And for their leader singer-the amazing Danny Elfman. Before he wrote half the soundtracks in the world (Pee Wee's Big Adventure, Batman, The Nightmare Before Christmas) Danny Elfman led himself this little rock band called Oingo Boingo. Actually they weren't so little; in fact, the eight-man band boasted one of rock's finest horn sections in addition to Elfman's devilishly good, often humorous songs. Elfman is in perfect vocal form, leading the combo through their biggest hits, including 'Wierd Science' (which put Elfman on the soundtrack path) as well as Boingo chestnuts "Fool's Paradise" and the infectious, macabre title track to Dead Man's Party!
Dead Man's Party is one of Boingo's finest hours, melding their whacked-out mix of XTC, Frank Zappa, and Tower of Power with a genuine pop sensibility.
