Amber, you called it when you said "Trying to put together a perfect woman." The movie Weird Science is about two teen boys who do just that, Anthony Michael Hall, who you've seen in Breakfast Club and Edward Scissorhands, and Ilan Mitchell Smith actually succeed in creating the perfect woman - Kelly "Don't hate me because I'm beautiful" LeBrock. The ride she takes them on is as mind-bending as Bill & Ted's romp through history. It's a MUST MUST MUST see movie.
As everyone else is saying, this song was the theme to an 80s comedy called Weird Science, which stars Anthony Michael Hall, the nerd from 16 Candles and the Breakfast Club, and a very young Robert Downey Jr. Also, one of the main character's older brother is played by a young Bill Paxton, who was in Titanic and Twister. This movie is hilarious, you should check it out!
In 1970's San Francisco - there were three shows everyone HAD to see: The gay version of Hello Dolly, Bullshot Crummond....and The Mystic Knights of the Oingo Boingo.
Everyone already commented the movie and song. Let me say: If you watch the movie, the lead actress Kelly LeBrock, she actually was the inspiration for Hall & Oats' song "Maneater". John Oats met her in a bar, before she was "really" famous, and she out cussed and out drank every man in the bar. Oats thought to himself, "This woman would eat men alive". ...well paraphrased.
Here's the thing about Danny... Yes, he's a brilliant composer. I adore everything he's done. But he doesn't get enough credit for his performing. He's a great singer, and so much fun onstage! I fell in love with Boingo when a friend dragged me to a show. I literally went out and bought all of their stuff and I've been a huge fan ever since. That was in 1990. My favorite of their albums is actually Dark At The End of The Tunnel. It's perfect. Every song is amazing. And next time you watch Nightmare Before Christmas, listen to Jack's songs. They're just gorgeous! He also did a live show with an orchestra performing those songs. The dude is just really somethin' else. And also, they have a horn section as part of the band. Not just additions here an there. Pretty much in every song. As a trumpet player in my school days, I love that.
Love Weird Science (the movie) one of my favorite teen/comedy movies ever. Seen it a lot of times and it never gets old. Plus, I was a teen when this came out and it was perfect timing for me.
It's true! Elfman IS a musical genius! I became obsessed with him and the band decades ago and every album they put out has great songs all over them! The evolution they went through is interesting too, as the early albums had a strong sinister/creepy vibe to a lot of the songs and hearing how they "matured" in their songwriting while still keeping that dark vibe is just amazing. Listen closely, and you can definitely hear the similar sounds/tones used in Boingo as in Elfman's movie compositions. And it's never talked about, but Boingo's guitarist Steve Bartek also works on all those movie scores with Elfman. You're just barely scratching the surface with this song and Dead man's Party. Don't be afraid to hear their deeper cuts.
You need to listen to "Nothing Bad Ever Happens to Me", "Stay", "Where Do All My Friends Go", "Elevator Man", "We Close Our Eyes", "Not My Slave" - they have SO many great songs!
I had to listen to this several times. Been a minute since I last heard it. Now I have to go and watch Weird Science again…. Love it. Thanks Jay & Amber.
I absolutely loved Oingo Boingo in the mid-80s. In particular, I loved their album “ONLY A LAD”. Every song on that album is fun and awesome. That album has songs like, “Capitalism”, “Little Girls”, “Perfect System”, “Nasty Habits”, and more. The songs are both provocative and funny.
Back in the day, I knew nothing of Oingo Boingo, but I was into discovering new music at the time. I bought "Good For Your Soul" strictly based on the album cover and the band's weird name. I was hooked instantly and eventually bought everything I could find of theirs.
@@beerbratscheese1230 I think I discovered Oingo Bingo by word of mouth from friends probably circa 1984. So I went and purchased “Only A Lad” on cassette. I think I wore it out I listened so many times. I was in college and didn’t have much money. I’m not even sure I ever listened to “Good For Your Soul”. But I will tonight! Thanks!
@@chezellis In a decade that had the most unique music ever, Oingo Boingo was near the top of the list of unique music and sound. “Only A Lad” is truly innovative, provocative, and funny as hell.
Danny Elfman's wife is Bridget Fonda, who was in Lake Placid and Jackie Brown. She is the daughter of actor Peter Fonda, who was the devil in Ghost Rider, and the granddaughter of screen legend Henry Fonda.
Peter Fonda is in Easy Rider(1969), the hippie counterculture cross country cult classic about sex drugs rock n roll and motorcycles Costars Dennis Hopper and a young Jack Nicholson
You gotta watch the movie “Weird Science” Robert Downey Jr. is in that also. Funny 80’s movie. It also has Anthony Michael Hall from The Breakfast Club and bunch of other 80’s movies.
Oingo Boingo was one of the best bands of the era, and they put on an INCREDIBLE show! You couldn't stop moving start to finish. Another genius in the band was Steve Bartek, the lead guitarist, who went on to do the orchestrations for most of Elfman's movie scores over the years.
This was the theme song from the movie of the same name Weird Science (1985). A young Bill Paxton is in it playing the older brother. Bill played in Tombstone as Morgan Earp and Titanic as the guy trying to find the diamond in the safe. Michael Anthony Hall who played the geek in Sixteen Candles and the Breakfast Club stars in the movie Weird Science.
I have been under so much stress lately, and this channel is one of the best bright spots in my day. Seeing y'all (especially Amber!) absolutely jamming to my high school favorites just does my heart good. It's like I get to rediscover it all over again and enjoy music I already love in a new way. And as many other comments have now suggested, "Weird Science" needs to be on your movie night radar!
Danny Elfman is the singer for Oingo Boingo, he composed music score for films, like Edward Scicorhands, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Batman 1 and 2 with Michael Keaton, Corpse Bride, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Beetlejuice, Back to School with Rodney Dangerfield, Pee Wees big adventure, Spider-Man 1, 2 & 3, Doctor Strange and the Multiverse, MIB, Mission Impossible 1,
I meet bill paxton once from the movie weird science when he was signing from his movie twister. He pulled the line from weird science "can you put something on" to a lady waiting for an autograph and brought his coat to cover her. He was nice and very friendly with everyone
I don’t think they’re quite ready for _The Forbidden Zone._ Then again, I’m not so sure anyone is really quite ready for that kind of utter insanity. 😄
Great 80s song, from a great 80s movie. One of my favourites from childhood. Kelly LeBrock was my first crush. I even own a few wierd science t-shirts.
Danny Elfman also scored another FANTASTIC comedy, the incomparable, "Beetlejuice" with Michael Keaton, Geena Davis, Alec Baldwin, Catherine O'Hara (the mom in Home Alone) and Winona Ryder.
He's most famous for The Simpsons theme, but has a crazy number of other composing credits, including the Doctor Strange, 50 Shades and Men In Black franchises, and most Tim Burton films.
It blew my mind to learn that Dan Elfman wrote the intro. song that was used in the "Dilbert" TV series from the 1990s! It originally appeared as the intro. for a movie his brother, Richard Elfman, made in 1982, called "Forbidden Zone." Another thing that surprised me was the history of Oingo Boingo. The band came out of a touring act called The Mystic Knights of the Oingo Boingo in the 1970s. They appeared in different venues performing comedy/variety skits. Richard Elfman ran that operation for a number of years, and then finally got tired of it. He decided to "pare down" to a music band, called just "Oingo Boingo." As I mentioned, he also made the movie, "Forbidden Zone." Making movies seemed to be something he tried, but decided not to take further. I didn't even hear about the movie until many years later. Elfman said it caused a lot of controversy in some circles when it came out. Critics called it racist, when that wasn't his intent at all. He said the ideas he had for the comedy in it came out of the town where he grew up, which had a diverse population.
@@AmyLynn-88 oooh, sorry, AmyLynn! Yes, I’ll be there. I’ve been moderating another channel and there are two or three Amy’s there, but I haven’t seen a couple of them in a while. Thought you were one of them. Yep, Recky will be driving in a game and I’ll be there and Saturday if he’s live-streaming again.
And with this returning band, I BEG you guys to keep pulling Oingo Boingo Reactions, so many obscure bangers. Here go some Recommendations: The Forbidden Zone Capitalism Wake Up (It's 1984) Why'd We Come Stay It Only Makes Me Laugh Cinderella Undercover New Generation Skin Spider That's one song from each album, my fave song of each album to be exact.
Y'all gotta watch the 80s classic WEIRD SCIENCE!! One of my all-time favorites!! I wonder if you guys would like "LAST AMERICAN VIRGIN" - 80s cult classic with a banger soundtrack! Danny Elfman and Oingo Boingo's catalog is vast!! Please consider "NO ONE LIVES FOREVER" & I might also suggest getting back to some TALKING HEADS and THOMAS DOLBY!! Another 80's legend!! Love y'all - keep smiling!!
@Rob Squad Amber and Jay the lead singer of this group is Danny Elfman the 2nd greatest composer of films and TV after the Icon John Williams. Shame his group never took off despite some amazing songs and being in Back to School.
How you gonna watch this before watching the movie!? Weird Science is PURE. EIGHTIES. GOLD. Of course so is the other all time great movie Danny Elfman did the soundtrack to in the 80s: BATMAN.
This song is from another movie, Weird Science, a comedy I think you would love for your movie channel. It also has a young Robert Downey Jr. in it like Back To School.
Oingo Boingo was the music of my youth! Another great banger is "Just Another Day." I hope y'all check out the movie "Weird Science" for 2 reasons: Robert Downey Jr and Bill Paxton!
I love the movie Weird Science and this was the theme song to that movie starring a young Robert Downey Jr, IIan Mitchell-Smith, Kelly LeBrock, Bill Paxton, and Anthony Michael Hall (Sixteen Candles and The Breakfast Club)! You should definitely check out the movie! I love it! The eighties were great! 💖💖
“Good for your Soul” is an incredible album. “Who do you want to be”, you guys would love. “Nothing bad ever happens to me”, “Wake up it’s 1984”, all bangers
Oingo Boingo were an amazing band. Danny Elfman went on to become one of the great soundtrack writers in the last 20-30 years. I ad the pleasure of working with this band back in the 80's - AMAZING TALENT!
Oingo Boingo has so many many bangers, it’s ridiculous. Sea Man’s Party, Nothing Bad Ever Happens, Cinderella Undercover, Little Girls, Only a Lad, Perfect System … Gratitude (released as Danny Elfman). They were way better than people remember them now for.
"Dead Man's Party" is a great album! I has Weird Science, Dead Man's Party and so many other good ones. One for your collection. The Mystic Knights Of Oingo Boingo debuted on a 70s game show called The Gong Show.
I was 20 in 1980 but for some reason I have never heard of this song before, but I love it. The only concern for me is some of the video, not the song I LOVE IT!!! Fabulous to listen to. I'm from the UK, Liverpool. Great band!! xxx
![Реакция немца на Мэри Попинс - до свидания [Русские субтитры]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/80PAHWzPcV4/mqdefault.jpg)

I have Weird Science on VHS
With Ironman! LOL!
I was going to suggest the same thing. Watch the movie next.

Absolutely!!
Omg, "don't hate me because I'm beautiful!" Brings me back! 🤣🤣🤣
Yes, it would be nice to see a reaction to that movie that wasn't annoying, I hope they do watch it.
I think it's Anthony Michael Hall . . .
And who can forget Chet? Some of the late Bill Paxton's early work.
Supermodel Kelly LaBrock, Bill Paxton, and Robert Downey jr.
What a fun movie.
And don't forget Bill Paxton as Chet
Also Micheal Berryman from The Hills Have Eyes as a convincing biker dude.
@chuckhouse5179 and Vernon Wells reprising his role from "Mad Max 2:The Road Warrior"
Wow now I look back wow bill Paxton so young
Even younger in the original terminator movie as ine of the young punks in beginning sceen@@davidsullivan5231
Literally my favorite comedy of all time… you’ll love it… Weird Science
Chet as a turd troll always kills me.R.I.P. Bill Paxton.
Oh yes please react to the movie Weird Science. It was written by John Hughes
And Pee Wees Big Adventure is both Danny elfman and Tim Burtons first movie. Can't wait for you to check that one out
They already have.

You 2 can't even take a shower with a beautiful woman without wearing your jeans.... lmfao
Danny Elfman pretty much was Oingo Boingo. They used to get a lot of airplay on KROQ in So Cal
The only radio station I listened to until the Kevin and Bean show ended.
Honestly, one of the funnest concerts I’ve ever been to was seeing them in San Diego in the mid-80s…one giant party! 🎉
I remember KROQ as a kid in So Cal. That and KISS with Rick Dees heh
In 1970's San Francisco - there were three shows everyone HAD to see: The gay version of Hello Dolly, Bullshot Crummond....and The Mystic Knights of the Oingo Boingo.
They used to do an annual Halloween concert.
Dead Man's Party is one of my favorite songs. Oingo Boingo is underrated!!!
Two of my favorite Oingo Boingo songs are "Just Another Day" and "Stay"
Mine are "Stay" and "Just Another Day"😁
Just Another Day is a fantastic song!

This is the soundtract for the 1985 movie "Weird Science " with Anthony Michael Hall & Kelly LeBrock.
Also Robert Downey Jr.
My favorite Danny Elfman song is "This is Halloween". From the movie Nightmare before Christmas. 😃💀🎅
I love that song..... Voiceplay did a remake of it! I like several songs from Voiceplay. LoL.....🤭🤷🏻♀️😏😁👍🏻
I loved the Movie "Weird Science"! 😊

And you two should DEFINITELY add that to the movie watch list too!.
I was thinking the same thing.
Yep 👍🏼!
“A MISSILE! A GODDAMN MISSILE IN MY HOUSE!”
So classic@@MikeR773

Jay/Amber, you'll love their ""Stay" and "Ain't This The Life" !!
Their singer/songwriter Danny Elfman also was a composer for major motion pictures!
Stay is great
Grey Matter, Just Another Day, Only a Lad.
Stay ♡
No one lives forever
STAY!!!!
Nothing Bad Ever Happens!
You need to listen to "Nothing Bad Ever Happens to Me", "Stay", "Where Do All My Friends Go", "Elevator Man", "We Close Our Eyes", "Not My Slave" - they have SO many great songs!
Oingo Boingo - Grey Matter
Oingo Boingo - Who Do You Want To Be

Great reaction guys. Now y’all HAVE to watch the movie “Weird Science”. Another classic 80’s comedy.
Once again; watch the movie! "Weird Science" is one of Anthony Michael Hall's best films from the 80s. It's also another early RDJ appearance.
Check out “Goodbye Goodbye “ from Oingo Boingo. It was the closing song to “ Fast Times at Ridgemont High “
Have they watched Fast Times yet? No idea if they'd like it or not, but...
Another movie they should react to for sure
I'd also love to see them react to Insects (the studio version is the best version imho)
You gotta watch the movie “Weird Science” Robert Downey Jr. is in that also. Funny 80’s movie. It also has Anthony Michael Hall from The Breakfast Club and bunch of other 80’s movies.
Don't forget Bill Paxton as Chet.
@michaelconnor1542 , "Did you spit in this?"
Oh.. Now you must watch the John Hughes Classic 80's comedy "Weird Science"
Ok now y'all have to watch the movie "Weird Science". Another great 80s comedy.
Yeah I remember this from the movie Weird Science
Got to see Oingo Boing in concert at the Paladium, Hollywood CA. They are high energy and I danced the whole night through! Loved it.
Oh yes, weird science is hilarious. One of my favorites.
Now you have to check out Thomas Dolby's "She Blinded Me with Science!" Same era...Banger!
Oingo Boingo was one of the best bands of the era, and they put on an INCREDIBLE show! You couldn't stop moving start to finish. Another genius in the band was Steve Bartek, the lead guitarist, who went on to do the orchestrations for most of Elfman's movie scores over the years.
Yes! You need to see the movie!
Now y'all must see the film "Weird Science"
This was the theme song from the movie of the same name Weird Science (1985). A young Bill Paxton is in it playing the older brother.
Bill played in Tombstone as Morgan Earp and Titanic as the guy trying to find the diamond in the safe.
Michael Anthony Hall who played the geek in Sixteen Candles and the Breakfast Club stars in the movie Weird Science.
Now you heard the song, you gotta see the movie!
I love their song Stay.
In my book one of the best Comedies from the 80s. The music is great too!
1:37 Right from the start, the facial expressions, the kick off just hits different.

"Nothing Bad Ever Happens To Me" is a great, underrated Oingo banger - great lyrics & party groove
Y’all should definitely deep dive in to Oingo Boingo…. Try Only a Lad, Pain, Skin, Home Again, We Close our Eyes… so many great songs….
Danny Elfman is the singer for Oingo Boingo, he composed music score for films, like Edward Scicorhands, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Batman 1 and 2 with Michael Keaton, Corpse Bride, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Beetlejuice, Back to School with Rodney Dangerfield, Pee Wees big adventure, Spider-Man 1, 2 & 3, Doctor Strange and the Multiverse, MIB, Mission Impossible 1,
He is Tim Burtons favourite composer for his films.
Weird Science the movie, is an 80's classic. A lot of fun during the digital revolution. The song added to its vibe. Kelly LeBrock... SMOKIN' HOT.
"Who do you want to be" "No one lives forever" "Private life" "Grey Matter"...that should start you down a good Oingo Boingo rabbit hole.
I meet bill paxton once from the movie weird science when he was signing from his movie twister. He pulled the line from weird science "can you put something on" to a lady waiting for an autograph and brought his coat to cover her. He was nice and very friendly with everyone
He made a movie in 1980 called ‘Forbidden Zone’
I don’t think they’re quite ready for _The Forbidden Zone._ Then again, I’m not so sure anyone is really quite ready for that kind of utter insanity. 😄
@@0okamino oh I’m in no way recommending it, I’m just stating that the film exists.
@@oaf-77I think it's great in its insanity, and would recommend it in some cases, but... yeah, you know what I mean.
Great 80s song, from a great 80s movie. One of my favourites from childhood.
Kelly LeBrock was my first crush.
I even own a few wierd science t-shirts.
ALOT of 8os movies use a lot of 70s songs so this is a change
Danny Elfman also scored another FANTASTIC comedy, the incomparable, "Beetlejuice" with Michael Keaton, Geena Davis, Alec Baldwin, Catherine O'Hara (the mom in Home Alone) and Winona Ryder.

“Good for your Soul” is an incredible album. “Who do you want to be”, you guys would love. “Nothing bad ever happens to me”, “Wake up it’s 1984”, all bangers
Oingo Boingo were an amazing band. Danny Elfman went on to become one of the great soundtrack writers in the last 20-30 years. I ad the pleasure of working with this band back in the 80's - AMAZING TALENT!
Just another day is an amazing song too
I absolutely LOVE Oingo Boingo! My favorite, because it carries a message, is "Out of Control"
A fun song to a fun movie!! Take it from a scientist, science can be weird at times ,but also very fun.
Also watch Starsky and Hutch, you'll see Jay's go to dance move, it also a great comedy parody of a 70s tv cop show.
another fun factoid - the guitarist in Oingo Boingo (Steve Bartek) is Danny's arranger on those soundtracks and a Julliard graduate.
My second favorite Brat Pack movie! I had such a crush on Kelly LeBrock as a kid. I don’t know many young men back in the 80s who didn’t!
Grey Matter is also a great one
Oingo Boingo has so many many bangers, it’s ridiculous. Sea Man’s Party, Nothing Bad Ever Happens, Cinderella Undercover, Little Girls, Only a Lad, Perfect System … Gratitude (released as Danny Elfman). They were way better than people remember them now for.
"Dead Man's Party" is a great album! I has Weird Science, Dead Man's Party and so many other good ones. One for your collection. The Mystic Knights Of Oingo Boingo debuted on a 70s game show called The Gong Show.
I was 20 in 1980 but for some reason I have never heard of this song before, but I love it. The only concern for me is some of the video, not the song I LOVE IT!!! Fabulous to listen to. I'm from the UK, Liverpool. Great band!! xxx
Now you’ve gotta watch the movie this song goes to! HILARIOUS!
Oingo Boingo is one of the best 80s band. Love everything that Danny Elfman is a part of. Check out Little Girls.
