Great movie. Great song. FM Bass galore. How can you go wrong?
Sometimes this song just gets stuck in my head. And not the hook tag line either, it's like, the trumpet parts, and the ultra punchy ascending arpeggio part, the vocal melody right at the start, and that bassline! And yeah, of course the tagline... This is just a zany song, with lot of moving parts that absolutely pulls it all off flawlessly.
Considering how new FM synth was at the time, I have no idea how they
knew what they were doing. I have a feeling a large part of the mid 80s
was just a mad scramble that is kind of perfectly embodied by how damn
weird, bonkers and catchy this song is.
OoOoOoOoh!
Fun fact: the singer and song writer for Oingo Boingo is Danny Elfman, the composer who wrote the Simpson's theme, and a lot of other themes you have probably heard. But this is where he came from. He's jokingly quite embarrassed about this music video because he didn't have the time to contribute any creative aspect of it. He said he deserved the roasting he got when it ended up on an episode of Beavis and Butthead. Seems like a pretty self aware dude.
