    "Insects" - Lyrics by Danny Elfman
    Tiny insects in my hair, tiny insects everywhere
    Tiny insects in my pants, watching insects make romance
    Insects make me, make me want to
    Dance, dance, they make me dance…
    Those insects make me want to
    Insects crawling all around, insects squirming on the ground
    Insects gooey, squeaky, chewy, should I eat them… no
    I’d rather stomp, hurt them, stomp, stomp them while I
    Dance, dance, they make me want to dance
    Dance, dance, they make me dance…
    Insects walking on two legs, insects fucking with our heads
    Insects work is never done, they’ve all moved to Washington
    They bite and sting and suck…
    Bite and sting and suck, suck, suck…
    Bite and sting and suck, suck, suck…
    (Suck, suck suck…)
    Old white men they want to suck my blood
    They want to suck your blood
    They want to suck, suck, suck, suck, suck…
    Old white men they want to suck our blood they want
    To suck out our brains, suck out our brains, make us
    Stupid as hell, stupid as hell, they’ve got
    Something to sell something to sell, shove it down our
    Throat in a pill, throat in a pill, make me want to
    Puke, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck
    Old white men, they’re back in power again
    They’re sucking all the power and pride
    They’re leaving us anesthetized
    If they’re trying to lobotomize
    Don’t you know, they suck suck suck suck suck suck…
    Cauterize, penalize, euthanize, legalize, supervise
    Synthesize, patronize, eulogize
    Suck your brains out with a straw through your head and
    Suck out your brains, suck out your brains, suck em’ in the
    Suck out your brains, suck out your brains, suck em’ in the
    Suck, suck, suck…
    Suck out your brains, suck out your brains, suck out

    I was in Century City and we were doing this Midnight Student Film Festival, back in early 70's, and this strange group, The Mystic Knights of the Oingo Boingo was playing when we got there. I peeked in and watched the show in amazement. Saw this red headed kid and asked him if he was the leader of the group (around 12 people, men and women) and he said his name was Danny Elfman. I asked him if he also wrote and arranged the music, and again, he said yes. I then told him he was going to go very far as it was some of the most original stuff I had heard in a very long time. Mind you, this was the 70's, and new and creative music was coming out every day, but Danny's music was on another level. Happy to see he never stopped pushing the edge of the envelope.

      I was saying the same thing. It made me go back and have a listen to the '95 Farewell version & album version both again. But this version more than makes up for it with the new lines in the latter half of the song. Can't wait for more Danny :eyes:

"Kick Me" around the time of Prince Phillip's death. "True" was released around the time of... were there statues being torn down or something during the month of April? And "Insects" the month of the Brood X cicadas.

    Just watched a interview with him and he said himself the future now is open! That he never planned or wanted to make a new album.. Who knows what will happen? His own words... That Boingo reunion may come around! We can only hope! Never say Never!

    I've got the original on vinyl. This updated version fits the craziness of this decade, but I miss the crisp clarity of the original, especially the horn section.

    Pure insanity at its finest. I’m usually not one for cover songs but this particular version speaks to my metal loving soul. Absolutely living for every moment of this beauty! Incredible job Mr. Elfman!

    Great to see and hear Danny go back to the Oingo Boingo well once in a while.
    It's almost like he has...nothing to fear.
