    I know he's not an actor, but he'd have made a hell of a Joker.

      He acted in the background of a few films in the 70s, His only major role was in his brother Richard's movie Forbidden Zone. Other than that, him and his old band played small roles in Hot Tomorrows and I Never Promised You a Rose Garden.

      Baville and if I'm not mistaken, the "Desperate Housewives" theme, as well as the sweetening in the background in the show. and maybe wrote the theme and sweetening for "beetle juice" also. a very talented man indeed.I am a big Boingo Fan.

    Got to meet him briefly backstage after a concert. So quiet and shy. Maybe he was worn out after the show, but so nice. I was and am the hugest fan of anything Danny Elfman. A major talent!

      lol omg me too!! very briefly, like you said! and indeed, he was quiet, but nice! he had manager or guard or something with him trying to usher him away but he still stopped and listened to my tiny, awkward schpeal of praise. mine was outside after a concert, so he was really just trying to get to their car, so it was extra nice that he/they even humored me at all. you never know what weird people could be out there, as well. So yeah I tried to be brief while still conveying my, well, gratitude (get it?) and he said thank you. Even though it was so quick, I went home feeling all elated. He's been my favorite since I was about 8 or so...I grew up listening to him, so to get the chance to actually thank him in person was really nice.

    Lyrics:
    Life's been so good to me
    Has it been good to you?
    Has it been everything
    That you expected it to be?
    Was it as good for you
    As it was good for me?
    And was it everything
    That it was all set up to be?
    (Now, is that gratitude?)
    Now, is that gratitude?
    Or is it really love
    Some kind of reality
    That fits just like a glove
    Now, is that gratitude
    For everything I've done
    Or is it something else
    That's got me on the run?
    In the middle of a big tornado
    On the tip of everyone's tongue
    In the belly of a giant whale
    All the girls just wanna have fun
    In the look of a frightened neighbor
    In a big, warm bed at night
    In a broken elevator
    In the teeth of a dog that bites
    In the middle of a revolution
    In the look of a child's face
    In the silence of the dinner table
    In the stillness of disgrace
    But when I think of you
    And what you've done to me
    You took away my hope
    You took away my fantasy
    I once had lots of pride
    The world was in my hands
    I lived way at the top
    Of castles made of sand
    Ooh...
    I dream of you sometimes
    In the middle of a big tornado
    On the tip of everyone's tongue
    In the belly of a giant whale
    All the girls just wanna have fun
    In the look of a frightened neighbor
    In a big, warm bed at night
    In a broken elevator
    In the teeth of a dog that bites
    In the middle of a revolution
    In the look of a child's face
    In the silence of the dinner table
    In the stillness of disgrace
    Now, is that gratitude?
    Now, is that gratitude?
    Now, is that gratitude?
    Now, is that gratitude?

      yep, this song/album is pretty much a Oingo Boingo track. from wikipedia: "Oingo Boingo guitarist Steve Bartek stated that So-Lo was "mostly a band record", but that MCA "wasn't particularly interested" in Oingo Boingo and so had signed Elfman as a solo artist. However, Elfman wanted to continue the band and convinced MCA to change his recording contract to Oingo Boingo following the release of So-Lo."

      Gabriel Leroux The Video was directed by Graeme Whifler, who also directed music videos for the Residents, Tuxedomoon, MX-80 Sound, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Sparks. He lives in California and was born in San Mateo in 1951. He is an oddball but a goddamn genius.

    In the middle of a big tornado,
    On the tip of everyone's tongue...
    In the belly of a giant whale,
    All the girls just want to have fun.
    In the look of a frightened neighbor,
    In a big warm bed at night,
    In a broken elevator,
    In the teeth of a dog that bites.
    In the middle of a revolution,
    In the look of a child's face,
    In the silence of the dinner table,
    In the stillness of disgrace.
    (GREAT SONG TO ME!)

      The weird thing is that he almost always wears a "wife beater" (white tank shirt for those outside the US) and sometimes suspenders and you STILL want to jump him! I have a hard time understanding him being married to Bridget Fonda. Not that I dislike her, far from it, I just can't picture them together or picture her standing nearby when Danny has his creative sessions with Tim Burton. Wow. Just..... I can't.

    I like the Lighting effects in the first min. of the vid.
    very innovative. seems to make his face change from evil to Angelic.
    [ The Ying and the Yang.] looks like the lamps are on the right [ Left on camera ] just out of frame. and another above [ out of frame ], reflecting off of the water, and then the goose neck on the desk. to his left [ Right On camera ]
    I will have to remember that effect, very interesting.
    at 1:58 he reminded me of Anne Lenex in the "love is a stranger" video
    at the point where she in the car singing "And I want You,And I want You, So, ITS an OBSESSION! " with that intense look on her face, shaking her gloved finger at us.
