Oingo Boingo

[BeckRokk]

Now that Rocks the 80's has opened up easier access to Oingo Boingo, why not run with it? It would be a 'dream come true' if HMX put Little Girls in or as DLC someday. ;)

[GrayInvisible]

Definite yes. I hope for Little Girls. We need more New Wave.

[CaptainHowdy101]

Oh yeah, I love that song. And yes, we need more new wave.

[Frenzy5iron]

I would love some Oingo Boingo.

I was think Dead Man's Party Or Private Life
but Little Girls is good , Any Oingo Boingo that is put out I will buy.

[jammer23]

I use to love Dead man's party. Bring on Oingo Boingo

[Dr.stupid]

Bring on oingo boingo! Little girls (http://youtube.com/watch?v=jItz-uNjoZA) would be amazing to play on rock band. As would other boingo songs.

[Will-san]

On the outside!

[RightoSparky]

:D:D
Totally bring on Oingo Boingo!

They have lots of good songs that would be great for RB, like the ones you all mentioned earlier.

I would also like to see "Ain't this the Life". One of my faves!

[i_c_weiner]

Oingo Boingo + Rock Band = Awesome to the max!
http://www.josesandoval.com/images/that_guy.gif

Thinking what would work on Rock Band (considering you don't get a horn section, accordion, xylophones, or keyboard/synthesiser), I'd say:
Stay
Little Girls
Private Life
Hey!
Winning Side
Wild Sex (In The Working Class)
Violent Love

On Hey!: Not classic Boingo, but is a long song with some challenging parts (which is a hallmark of Harmonix's games).

Also, the last two might need some adaptation due to horn solos.

[Joatmon]

I agree!

Leave your body & soul at the door!

[Plutonic Love]

Hell yes, we need more Oingo Boingo!

Spider and Insanity in particular, but also the older stuff.

[AnimeFunTV]

Hell yes, we need more Oingo Boingo!

Spider and Insanity in particular, but also the older stuff.

bump. I would love to play Nothing to Fear, Reptiles And Samurai, Grey Matter, or even Nasty Habits :D

[GrayInvisible]

Do you guys thing Dead Man's Party would work?

[m2k4r]

My list of songs that would be amazing are

Clowns of Death
Only a Lad
No Spill Blood
Piggies
Hey
I Am the Walrus
Burn Me up
On the outside
Dead man's Party
Wild Sex
Stay

Heck, how about the entire farewell Album!

[Gaspar_Lewis]

Nth-ing the Danny Elfman love.

Got to wonder about if the masters are floating around anywhere, but any Boingo in Rock Band would be killer.

(And while we're [sort of] on the topic, could we snatch "Los Angeles" by X while we're "salvaging" bands off GH80s? Just sayin'.)

[a21schizoidman]

Dead Man's Party and Weird Science please!!!!


lol, I have an original promotional record for a radio station of Oingo Boingo

[a21schizoidman]

they need to include The Gong Show as a venue with the Oingo Boingo pack

[KampfVerein]

Do you have taste or what? The pinnacle of New Wave!

"Little Girls" from a guitar (hero) perspective:

[BrutalBrian]

Ahh the mighty OB!

Put whatever songs of theirs you want and I'll d/l! Especially Goodbye Goodbye and Weird Science.

This thread wins.

[U2Phreak1969]

OINGO BOINGO PACK 1
Who Do You Want To Be Today?
Dead Man's Party
Little Girls
Gratitude (actually from Danny Elfman's first solo project, but it rocks)
Weird Science
Sweat

[barnacleman11]

Yes!
Dead Man's Party
Little Girls
Private Life
Insects
Grey Matter
Nasty Habits (well....... that one probably wouldn't work too well on Rock Band but it's still an awesome song!)

[U2Phreak1969]

Forgot about Only A Lad. . . scratch my request for Sweat. Only a Lad is far superior!

[ToTheLimit]

I would buy any Oingo Boingo song in a heartbeat. Little Girls would be a ton of fun! I'd also love to see Cinderella Undercover, Piggies, and Dead Man's Party would make great Rock Band tracks.

[DeadmagiK]

Yes!!!! Full album please!

[JohnnyTwobags]

OINGO BOINGO PACK 1
Who Do You Want To Be Today?
Dead Man's Party
Little Girls
Gratitude (actually from Danny Elfman's first solo project, but it rocks)
Weird Science
Sweat


So-Lo was an oingo boingo album, it was just released as a solo project because of some legal stupidity with the label.

In fact, I'd say So-Lo is the number 1 candidate for a boingo full album download. number 2 would have to be their last album (Including 'Change' in it's entirity!). Other than that, theres a whole buttload of other songs which would be perfect, but I think that some of the early 50's influenced songs like Goodbye, Goodbye would be especially fun.

[Chewie7213]

What you see is one of the coolest vocal parts in any song, especially the way he sings at 1:30 into the song. The instruments are all pretty good too, not something that'll bore you right away.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=htkrNVxWcWA

[Crownjo]

YES BEST SUPPORT EVER!


We need Little Girls!

[BillHorror]

Danny Elfman is a freakin musical genius...

Little Girls (the live version would be awesome... bit more punk rock)
On The Outside
Who Do You Want To Be Today

Perfect 3 pack

[Oomingmak]

I will buy any Oingo Boingo they can give us.

I would, however, KILL for "Pedestrian Wolves"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=25VZKPFgLYA

Not exactly a classic OB song, it's from their 1994 album "Boingo". But damn do I love it.

[tommysparxxx]

only a lad

[BillHorror]

If there were to be a full album from Boingo... 94's "Boingo" would probably be best suited for rock band. There's others I like more, but Boingo's overall sound would work best.

[BillHorror]

I must've been ******ed to leave out No Spill Blood.... again, live = more rockin.

BxHx

[afterstasis]

i don't remember posting in this thread before, but i definitely support the insertion of oingo boingo into rock band!

[culturedog]

Another vote for oodles of Boingo!

Especially Only A Lad, Who Do You Want To Be Today?, Gratitude, No One Lives Forever and just about everything else while they're at it.

Here's my Boingo dorkiness street cred: In my wallet, in the part where you're supposed to put your driver's license or photo ID? I have an Oingo Boingo Secret Society card there. Don't tell anyone...

[SloppyJimbo]

I'd love to see a pack with Stay, When the Lights Go Out, and Just Another Day. Those are some of my favorites (especiallly WtLGO).

[Chewie7213]

I think Only A Lad needs to be a full album DLC, all of the songs work great for rock band, i'm sure, and they are such awesome songs to sing. I love the rest of their stuff, but I don't think they ever got as good as Only A Lad. Just sit down and listen to it all the way through and you'll understand.

[Bacon4thetakin]

Bass would be so much fun on Dead Man's Party!
and No One Lives Forever would be awesome to play with a full band!!

[Skittles]

yes yes yes yes yes yes
HMX get on this, IMMEDIATELY

[JimDynamo]

Another vote for oodles of Boingo!


Here's my Boingo dorkiness street cred: In my wallet, in the part where you're supposed to put your driver's license or photo ID? I have an Oingo Boingo Secret Society card there. Don't tell anyone...

Sweet! - could you smuggle me the essentials?

I would love any OB in Rock Band. and, on a side note... No Spill Blood; Alive = Best Solo in Bartek's career.

[MissMoongoddess]

Skeletons in the Closet: The Best of Oingo Boingo would be an awesome Album to release!

[oriniusprime]

Little Girls
Dead Man's Party
Controller
No One Lives Forever
I'm So Bad
Nasty Habits
Who Do You Want To Be
Only A Lad

...NOW!

[skritskrat]

Boingo would be swell, and any of the aforementioned songs would be great. I am crossing my fingers.

[BevoTheWarrior]

I'd LOVE some Oingo Boingo - they're long overdue. My dream 3-pack would be:

Dead Man's Party
Just Another Day
We Close Our Eyes

[Fromage]

Change gets my vote, if'n we only get one Boingo song...but Dead Man's Party seems more likely and would be almost as nift.

[butterflysmasher]

Anything and everything off of only a lad (Controller, What you see, and On The Outside if I had to pick 3)
Though Any Oingo Boingo would definitely be an instant buy from me

[EdgarVerona]

+5 for Nasty Habits
+1 for Little Girls or Private Life

(Edit: Ooh... I second On the Outside)

Those guys crack me up, and no one who realizes their lyrics are in jest could possibly not like this band. Oingo Boingo for DLC win.

[supernova1324]

I would like to see Oingo boingo. The drummer's son visits our school and is god at bass.

[moose39]

Dead Man's Party, Little Girls, and Only a Lad would be amazing!

[Dino1626]

Ok, so it's been a few months since someone posted here. I figured I'd resurrect it, since Oingo Boingo really needs to be in this game.

[T-Hybrid]

How can there be an Oingo Boingo request thread and no mention of "Weird Science" ;)

[Runesmith]

Oingo Boingo take the #1 spot in my arbitrary "Top Ten Bands That Absolutely Need To Be Rock Band" list.

I can't think of a single Boingo song I wouldn't download.

[i_c_weiner]

How can there be an Oingo Boingo request thread and no mention of "Weird Science" ;)

Well, being that it's actually one of their worst songs ever (even worse than the late period stuff), no.

I'd love Boingo Alive as album DLC, but that might be just a little too many songs.

[Luigindaisy]

Well, being that it's actually one of their worst songs ever (even worse than the late period stuff), no.

I'd love Boingo Alive as album DLC, but that might be just a little too many songs.

I'm disagree with you there, Weird Science is an OK song, but I don't think it would be a good song for Rock Band.

BACK ON TOPIC:
I hope the album Only a Lad is released for Rock Band. There's a lot of brass sections in there, but the album would still be fun for everyone. The only problem is that the song "Capitalism" has at least one word that will have to be removed to keep this game rated T.

[LegendofRock3021]

"Dead Man's Party" and "Little Girls" are the two Oingo Boingo songs I want the most.

[The 7th Legacy]

Oingo Boingo Pack 01 needs to look like this:

No One Lives Forever
Only A Lad
Little Girls
Weird Science

[Silverheart7788]

I Love Oingo Boingo!
My choices would be:
1. Dead Man's Party
2. Out of Control
3. Gratitude
4. Weird Science
5. It Only Makes Me Laugh
6. Just Another Day
7. Skin
8. Only a Lad
9. On the Outside
10. Goodbye-Goodbye!

[mjlambert1]

I'll take Weird Science. Decent guitar. Bass is ho-hum. Singing would be a blast!

[Fragory123]

I think I may have posted in this thread before but I think Oingo Boingo deserves a 4 pack of Private Life, Little Girls, Dead Man's Party and Gratitude. My opinion. You can throw Wierd Science in there if you want to.

[grimblue]

Dead Man's Party
Just Another Day
Weird Science

[jrcronlakers]

Just a matter of time I hope. Will get all that is offered by them.

[Dragonclaw]

Dead Man's Party
Just Another Day
No One Lives Forever

Especially with 2 of the 3 songs it would be a PERFECT DLC for the week of Halloween :p

[GenerationX]

Weird Science, Only a Lad, Dead Mans Party, Just Another Day

[butterflysmasher]

Weird Science, Only a Lady, Dead Mans Party, Just Another Day
what a comic misspelling of Just Another Dad.

[GenerationX]

what a comic misspelling of Just Another Dad.

Just Another Dad???? What are you smoking...

[Dino1626]

Ok, so I resurrected it a little. I keep hoping that we can get some Oingo Boingo in Rockband. Me personally, would take anything and everything made available to us from these guys.

[GenerationX]

Oingo boingo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Alvarado6411]

Showing my support for some Oingo Boingo

[SideshowN]

I would love to see some dead man's party and little girls. Make it happen!

[a21schizoidman]

Just Another Day, Who Do You Want to Be, Sweat, Goodbye-Goodbye, Dead Man's Party, and When the Lights Go Out need to be in Rock Band

[Jacknirfe]

yeah i would totaally love playing little girls, private life, dead man's party and just another day, please harmonix please

[gbeenie]

With the advent of harmonies in RB3, I would totally love to see "Only Makes Me Laugh" from Boingo Alive.

Also, "Something Isn't Right" from the Bachelor Party soundtrack would be pretty boss, too.

[tdc002]

MAN this thread is old. I'd love some Oingo Boingo, though. Especially Dead Man's Party or We Close Our Eyes

[yeomanhorner]

Now that we have a keyboard, bring on the Oingo Boingo.

[perspixx]

Count me in.

[ROCKBANDFANATIC7526]

Dead Man's Party and Weird Science please!!!!

What he said. Weird Science (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_tVZFZ5PR4) is a must.

[LegendofRock3021]

What he said. Weird Science (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_tVZFZ5PR4) is a must.

Agreed, "Dead Man's Party", "Little Girls", and "Weird Science" would make an excellent 3-pack.

[TcheBoy]

OMGosh! All this time and we still don't have a single Oingo Boingo DLC?!?!?!?

Freaky HMX! Make us HAPPY!

My setlist:

- Stay
- Dead Man's Party
- Just Another Day
- We close our eyes
- Insanity
- Little Girls

PREPARE THIS GREAT SURPRISE FOR NEXT HALLOWEEN!

[BevoTheWarrior]

It's funny that this thread just got resurrected; I requested "Dead Man's Party" through the request a song feature about ten minutes ago.

[Andreb]

Just make sure you get some songs off Farewell. Example: Little Girls, Controller and Insects sound much better on their last live concert.

Totally supported, would buy ANYTHING from Oingo Boingo. Well maybe except Insanity and Weird Science.

[BevoTheWarrior]

Totally supported, would buy ANYTHING from Oingo Boingo. Well maybe except Insanity and Weird Science.

I love Oingo Boingo but I've always hated "Weird Science". Though, we're talking Rock Band DLC as opposed to music on a CD or something so I'd still buy it just to have as much Oingo Boingo in my library as possible.

[tdc002]

I've always thought Weird Science was okay up until where it just starts repeating itself. I mean, I know it was written specifically for a film's soundtrack, so it's obviously written long to go over credits, scenes, etc; but once the song just repeats "Oooooh Weird Science. Weird! Weird Science!" over and over, it's just obnoxious. I'm sure there's a radio edit that's NOT six minutes long and totally repetitive, but Harmonix generally goes for the real version of the song.

As for stuff off Farewell: I really wish we'd get the live version of Only a Lad, just because that breakdown part has great harmonies and the end would make an awesome BRE.

[TcheBoy]

well, it's not Oingo Boingos, but THE LITTLE THINGS from Danny will be welcome! =P

[LegendofRock3021]

Just Another Day, Who Do You Want to Be, Sweat, Goodbye-Goodbye, Dead Man's Party, and When the Lights Go Out need to be in Rock Band

Absolutely, any of those songs would be fantastic to say the least.

[SideshowN]

Sign me up for Oingo Boingo in Rock Band.

[LegendofRock3021]

Just put in requests for "Dead Man's Party" and 'Weird Science" for good measure. :)

[amadeus_obeast]

Has anyone heard the buzz on the new Danny Elfman & Tim Burton 25th Anniversary Music Box? It looks awesome! Here's the youtube link:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lDsz4iJxIyk

[sinobeetle]

Only a Lad, I Like Little Girls, I listened mostly to their first album.

[MythrilMoth]

I would buy "Dead Man's Party". Probably also "Weird Science".

[Mileycyrussoulja]

My idea for an Oingo Boingo pack:

Who Do You Want To Be Today
Only A Lad
Little Girls
Weird Science

Great songs. And great keyboard parts, too.

[superdeeduper51]

Just release most of Only a Lad as DLC and we'll be in good shape.

[MisterFurious67]

I'd pay $100 easy for these:

Boingo Pack #1
Only A Lad
Little Girls
Grey Matter
Nothing to Fear

Boingo Pack #2
Who Do You Want to Be
Good For Your Soul
Sweat
Wake Up (It's 1984)

Boingo Pack #3
Dead Man's Party
Just Another Day
Weird Science
Goodbye-Goodbye

[CameoAppearance]

I've only listened to Dead Man's Party. And "Little Girls" exactly once over YouTube, which barely counts. So the songs I'd most like to see in the game are "Dead Man's Party", "No One Lives Forever", "Just Another Day", and "Same Man I Was Before". And you can't give "Weird Science" a miss if you're taking songs from the same album, so that one as well.

[Mileycyrussoulja]

How have you not heard Who Do You Want To Be Today and Only a Lad?
