@@jumpinjojo certainly not for his musical genius, but i've never read anything that gave proper credit to Elfman's vocals. he really does have a legitimate voice and a unique voice, at that.
@@DeadMansMixtape Wish we had the full thing. Even the complete audio would be the best time of my life... if it weren't for Chicago 88 (also incomplete... ;-;)
First time I've seen this performance, Danny Elfman is so beyond gifted, & has done so much for the music world! I truly think Steve Bartik is one of the greatest guitar players & so forgotten about! Oingo was one of the fathers of new wave music, these guys rule
When I worked at Cinnabon in the 90's a co-worker brought her "Dead Man's Party" tape for after we closed. I liked it so much I asked her if I could borrow it. I was hesitant to give it back. Before that all I knew about Oingo Boingo was "Weird Science."
One time in college, these guys were playing a dorm party. It got so crazy and loud that a professors windshield was broken outside. Cops were bringing us cases of beer. This old dude was in a hot tub filled with college chicks. Amazing time.
@IwshIcldstrtover Danny Elfman is the most beautiful person in the world and I hope you don't let your initial impression of him ruin your chance to hear more of his music.
For once on TV it's *live* and not lip synced. Too bad the director couldn't back-time better so the song wouldn't get cut off in the middle during the credits.

Elfman was one of the most underrated voices in music, IMO. He had (has) it all: originality, range, versatility. Just awesome!
pjmuck Underrated by who?
@@jumpinjojo certainly not for his musical genius, but i've never read anything that gave proper credit to Elfman's vocals. he really does have a legitimate voice and a unique voice, at that.
That voice is chilling.
So true!
A true genius...still remember listening to this over and over when Back to School was out
The best band ever! Danny is an outstanding musician!
This.
Ahh, the legendary Oingo Boingo! I'm such a fan I'm still rocking an O.B. logo on my 89 (almost legendary) Corolla wagon.
Quite possibly the best live version of any song performed by anyone! Very Tight.
So tight!
The singer is Danny Elfman... yes, THAT Danny Elfman.
i love this song. I was a hard rock heavy metal dude and Boingo was heavier in it's own way than my metal Gods. Love live Oingo Boingo!
Love live Oingo Boingo!
@@moss1788 yeah sadly they've been disbanded since 1995
Sounds amazing live. Not only instruments but the voice is amazing.
This.
This is good, but I would go with Dead Man's Party Live at The Ritz, 1985
Yes, that's the best version.
Everybody who has seen that concert knows it’s the best 30 minutes of ones life.
Nope. I’d go with their last concert with Elfman. With a close runner up of 2018 Hollywood Bowls performance after Nightmare.
It’s pretty awesome.
@@riittaalho8448 I'd have to say oingo boingos best performance
@@DeadMansMixtape Wish we had the full thing. Even the complete audio would be the best time of my life... if it weren't for Chicago 88 (also incomplete... ;-;)
That was a era of great bands and nice songs!!!

my favorite part is when they dance during the breakdown
Too bad he told you to wake up. Sadly, it ain't 1984 any longer... damn.
So true
@@yourfairykingbut we've been here before...
That's Danny Elfman, no need to fear...he's a good dude.
There's nothing to fear but fear itself!
@@barkboingfloom And the temperature's starting to drop now...!
@@ouran909 temperatures starting to drop now
@@waxeater112 Temperature's starting to drop... YOW!
You mean... Only a Lad.
Also my fav part is when they do their lil dance at the end
I love that part too. It is clear that they practiced it a few times, but didn't perfect it. Part of the charm of it.
@@lisajanco569 it highlights the keyboard guitar player's ability for a sec. Very talented group.
I love their lil dance too!
Danny looks so gooooooood in this video! mmmmmm oh and Bartek's expressions are hilarious!
A Cult Classic. God Bless Danny Elf-man & #RIPJoanRivers 🙏

Dolby. Robert Palmer...The Police...etc...had these wicked back-beats
Isso é um verdadeiro clássico

Incredible!
I made sweet, sweet love to my tele the nite this was broadcast, and I'm not ashamed to admit it.
Loves it! 80's rocked
Danny + Lyrics = AWESOME!
I spent 42 years of my life without Oingo Boingo...not sure I survived
Fan since the 80's boingo rules
Todos em perfeita sincronia❤
A Fender Jazzmaster, Danny Elfman? Goddamn that's a sweet combo.
Young Danny Elfman is YOUNG AS HELL!

Are those John Hughes characters in the background?

They play live this!? I saw cables.
