Biografia:
O Oingo Boingo foi um grupo de rock californiano, formando em 1972, por Richard Elfman, e depois em 1978, reformulado com estilo new wave pelo seu irmão, o compositor e cantor Danny Elfman.
Na década de 1980 a banda alcançou seu maior sucesso. Isto deveu-se, especialmente, pelo fato de suas canções estarem na trilha sonora do filme norte-americano Weird Science, que estreou em 1985. Durante os anos 80 a banda ainda emplacou os hits Stay, Just Another Day
