| Music Finally, an entire forum devoted to talking about Doktor Avalanche, the drum machine for the Sisters of Mercy. You can talk about other bands, or other members of that band, too, if you want to be UNCOOL. |

I love Oingo Boingo, and have done for quite some time.
The entire 'Dead Man's Party' album is a classic, particularly the songs Dead Man's Party and Just Another Day.
Fans of Oingo Boingo should definitely check out the film in which they were spawned: The Forbidden Zone .

After I saw the movie "Weird Science" back in the 80's, I bought the soundtrack and their albums. Danny Elfman is an awesome musician/composer, he has a long line of accomplishment within his career with the help of Tim Burton.

I love Oingo Boingo as well. Insanity is a awsome song. Elfman never lacks in making me laugh to Little Girls. XD

Anyone that a Rodney Dangerfield character would invite to play at a college dorm-room party in a movie is alright with me. "Dead Man's Party," is definitely the best.

I think the movie was called Back to School or something.

Boi-Ngo is my second favourite album by them! We Close Our Eyes is such a beautiful song.

Weird Science should have had more synths for a song about weird science though.

Yep, I'm quite fond of them. Almost everything by them I find amazing. Well, with the sole execption of that 'Weird Science' track they did. *Sigh*

Elfman's a musician's musician!
As if Dead Man's Party & Just Another Day weren't awesome enough, he goes on & scores the symphonic music for the 1989 Batman movie & co-writes Siouxsie & the Banshees' Face to Face!
Just one awesome guy!
