Frontman Danny Elfman's older brother, Richard, actually started the band, later handing leadership down to his brother once he decided directing was his way to go. This hyperkinetic New Wave band is characterized by their manic live performances and eclectic range of songs, Elfman and the band performed for a remarkable twenty years. The Californian band, a paired-down version of the theatrical troupe The Mystic Knights of the Oingo Boingo, released eight major albums and two live compilations, each containing songs that varied from fast-paced ska to soulful jazz to emotional rock to off-kilter pop. Their style can best be defined as "undefinable." Now mostly known for their frequent contribution to movie soundtracks (including their most succesful song "Weird Science") Oingo Boingo formally broke up in 1995 after their last Halloween live concert; the reason being that 'it was time.' Since the band's dissolution, frontman Danny Elfman has continued to find success in his career writing film scores, particularly in collaboration with director Tim Burton; he almost exclusively employs Boingo guitarist Steve Bartek as orchestrator. His film scores have included Pee Wee's Big Adventure, Batman, Edward Scissorhands, Good Will Hunting, Men in Black, Sam Raimi's Spider-Man, Big Fish, and dozens more.

Kiss My Ass Lyrics
Oingo Boingo
Everybody says they wanna be my friend
Gimme that smile all over again
Shut your mouth now and give it a rest now
Come on baby now and kiss my ass
Cause Im crying, over again.
Everybody tells me that this is it
Im telling you baby, it dont mean shit.
Im sorry Ive started to sound real crass now,
Come on, come on, come on, come on come on baby,
(chorus)
Well come on little baby
Wont you cut the chitter chatter
Come sit here on daddys lap and wont you tell me whats the matter.
Come on everybody, mix your vinegar with honey
Make your future so exciting if youd only stop your whining.
Im a first class son of a bitch
How Id really like to grant your wish
Im afraid little darling, it just wont pass
Now, come on baby now and kiss my ass
Cause Im crying over again.
Youre pushing too hard, youre pushing on me
Youre pushing too hard, _____________________
Youre pushing too hard, youre pushing too hard on me
Oh I really want to have some fun, _________________________
Youre pushing too hard (5 times)
Over and over (5 times)
(chorus)
Im so excited I can barely speak
If you show me a chicken, Ill show you a geek.
Youve heard all about my dubious past now
Come on baby now and kiss my ass
Cause Im crying, over and over and over again.
(repeat)
