This is Oingo Boingo's BRILLIANT masterpiece. I love going to sites that have the music video for Little Girls up and reading the comments. People say things like "I don't know who Oingo Boingo is but they should be thrown in jail" and "Why isn't this song banned!!!" You just have to love people who have a knee jerk reaction to something and just Don't get it. I always respond with something like "do you guys like The Simpsons theme song?" or "Nightmare Before Christmas was awesome wasn't it!". But enough about the lame people. I use Little Girls as my phone ring tone. Only A Lad is more than a humorous tongue in cheek project. The song Capitalism is an attack on American socialism and Only A Lad tears in to liberal PC thought. But before you think it's all about attacking the left a close listen will show that neo-cons are taking just as much fire, if not more than liberals. After hearing this album, one can only conclude that Danny Elfman is (or was at the time) A Libertarian. You gotta love that!Read full review
All their albums are great. Buy them all. I've only about 2-3 releases left to go through and I've yet to come across any that are not essential. "Little Girls" alone justifies the purchase twice over. So what are you waiting for? What? You're afraid if you get too close you'll become infatuated, compelled to go out and get every elfman song you can? Don't worry, I was once like you.
Simply ahead of their time, Boingo will be extremely missed.
