"We Close Our Eyes" showcases Danny's amazing range. No one ever mentions him when they're talking about great rock singers, but I think he had one of the best voices out there. And such talent! Losing his contributions to the music world still hurts.
Hey he still sings sometimes on Instagram! And he posts videos of his dog and chickens! He just recorded an acoustic version of Running On A Treadmill while in quarantine.
@@cecilyerker thanks for the tip!
@@leavingitblank9363 Losing his contributions? The man is still alive and one of the foremost film composers in Hollywood! We're lucky to have him, one of my main influences!
@@berniewalasavage That's not what I'm talking about and you know it.
@@leavingitblank9363 Well I'm saying he's still active in rock music, a lot of the time he'll release a single coinciding with a film he's doing. Running On A Treadmill is the quarantine one, but there is this other song he wrote for a film that came out, hmm, maybe around 2010-11? I can't recall, was an action flick. I'll look it up and get back to you.
The most unique and intricate band of all time. We will never hear another band that sounds like Oingo Boingo
yes
Agreed - there will never be another Oingo Boingo. But - - check out Lemon Demon. He's heavily influenced by Boingo, Talking Heads, etc. It's pretty good.
Conheci Oingo Boingo lendo o livro "jogador n°1". Incrível como a banda não tem uma música ruim
@@derekhale7847 estão vindo pro Brasil aí fazer show!
@@suzybearheart530I love lemon demon
Sad for today’s generation, missing out on music like this
Very true. However, I, myself am an 80’s girl through & through & my babes were raised on this music😝😝 I will never stop listening to it! They are now 20&21 & when they were younger, I used to drag them to concerts of all the 80’s bands…. lol.
Here’s a funny story… when my son got old enough to go to shows on his own (12 or 13) he said to me “how come when I go to shows with you, we always get to hang out with the bands…. We always get into the backstage or we go out with the bands & they all come back to our home?”😝😝🤷♀️ I was a bit confused so I asked him to elaborate. He said he tried to hang out with the bands he went to see & he was denied. I said idk, I’ve been friends with all these 80’s bands for years🤷♀️
Apparently he thought it was totally normal to go hangout with the bands after the shows & go eat or have everyone come back to our place😝😝🤷♀️🤦♀️ bc he was raised with various bands coming to our home to do their laundry & playing video games, eating , drinking or whatever when the shows ended….. I reminded him that no in fact that is not exactly “normal” 😝😝 . So then of course he asked if I can get him back stage to meet the artists he goes & sees (usually rappers) I said no… I have zero connections to the rap world 🤣🤣🤷♀️
Danny Elfman is one of the most expressive, dynamic singers of his generation. He is compelling and playful, fully engaged and committed. He is so charismatic, (sigh)
Yes!👆🏻🖖🏻🌺
he was gorjus
And such huge cinematic contributions!
What a life .
I love his eyes and that impish smile he has…hell EVERYTHING about him
“Good morning, this is Kevin, and Bean. You’re listening to the world famous KROQ F.M. Let’s start off a good day with one of our favorite songs. OIngo Boing, We Close Our Eyes”. How I miss those days!
Kevin & Bean, it was Jed the Fish who first kickstarted their careers.
That brings back memories
❤😂🎉@@beachkidboy
That was before Kevin and Bean. That was Jed the Fish, Raymondo, Dusty Street, Richard Blade...Rodney on Sundays, lol.
His voice is controlled velvet, and he has the sexiest teeth and neck. Wow!
😳
Neck? Ummm, okay ......😂
@@donnamariedavidson5065 Necks sure can be sexy.
Probably my two favorite Oingo Boingo songs.
Not my slave has to be one of the healthiest love songs ever written. Honoring the independence of the other person. "Don't want you in a cage. I only want your heart to find that special place.:
Danny... What a Voice!
Agreed
Unlike any other & as UNIQUE as they get!!
still amazing now!
still amazing now!
Simplemente buenísimo
One of the greatest bands I've ever seen 🙌
This is such an amazing song, every time I hear it I cry. Idk why it's just so amazing
I still come back every night🤧
Still come back
Back🤓🦫
Back again, still love this song
come back………
I'm transported back to my teenage years getting smashed on the front row of a boingo concert and mosh pitting and diving and crowd surfing with the crew. Those were great days that will live forever in my memories. Boingo is without a doubt one of the best live bands, and Danny Elfman is the model of an accomplished, talented musician. That bassline is killer in Not my slave.
I'm right there with you. I got to see them at Seattle's Bumbershoot (free concerts back then!). Right up front on the rail! Still remember it today 45 years later!
That's awesome! I'm so envious.
That menacing side-eye.... such a pretty smile... damn. Bet that’s what Bridget sees when she closes her eyes.❤️
Yes, lucky girl for sure. ❤
A genius, Danny Elfman and Oingo Boingo were so underrated.
They were way ahead of their dimension. He sang using his voice like any virtuoso used their instrument and took his voice where all the rest couldn’t.
One of the most brilliant musical talents in the history of music.
I was so fortunate to see them in concert 4 times. I love them now and forever. I wish they were still together. At least he’s still writing music for movies.
Saw them 3 times, once in a hotel banquet room. Absolutely amazing! Oingo Boingo 4eva!!!
Saw them twice. So good live. Radio didn't do them justice
Saw them in Santa Barbara with Flock of Seagulls 80s were the best!!!!
Saw them first in Denver this same year - 1987 - then again in Orange County...or Santa Barbara!! Was invited to a party and Danny was there with people I knew and I cannot even b begin to tell anyone what a treat it was!! WE SANG TOGETHER!! A year later I ran in to his brother, Richard, at another party!!! OMG!!! hahaaaa!! Best years of my life. Oingo Boingo forever!
You're lucky. I remember my sister and her then boyfriend inviting me to see them on Halloween at the Universal Amphitheatre (I was 16), I said no. Ugh, big mistake!
Que banda foda. A anos 80...que orgulho de ter vivido e curtido isso😊
My life was totally F--ked growing up,but bands like (Especially) Oingo Boingo kept me going. Alot of songs inspired me to put up with the bullshit I was dealt. I wonder if some bands realize the affect they have on people? I say them in Irvine (On Thursday) at their last shows. It was beyond words.
As much as I love Danny Eflman, I just can't stop watching Johnny Avila. He's so happy and adorable.
Danny's left leg is tryna run away. 🤣
I miss the 80s.
My favorite song, and my crush from my childhood. I'm 45 and still love him 😍💜
I swear they were doing playback until the second song started. What an amazing band.
the first song is lipsyncened if I´m not mistaken
@@petrcarny2992you are correct 💯❤
I love Steve spreading his feet and bending his neck so that he can get to the mic. Apparently, the stage team didn't know what they were dealing with.
What great songs, what a great vocalist (and composer). And what an amazing band!
yesssss amazing , im like a crazy dancing here uhuu
Ditto!!!!!
Incredible.. I'm so glad there last concert row 5 drove 3 days to get to Universal ampa theater. In California for no word's for how we all went & absolutely incredible they were in concert.
He looks so cute! :'( and that voice is fantastic!
Danny, please, please play with your band again! There is a new generation of fans that would love to see you reunite at the Hollywood Bowl or the Forum after this stupid pandemic is over! And based on the comments, you’d probably pack houses in Brasil, too.
he only stopped because he was losing his hearing
im pretty sure danny has stated he doesnt wish to do any sort of reunion with the band. the only one of them he still plays with occasionally is steve bartek. if you want to see their music still played, check out oingo boingo former members. it includes some of the members from the original boingo (johnny vatos, john avila, steve bartek, sluggo phipps, and carl graves) with some newer ones to fill in the spaces. their new vocalist doesnt really have the same feel as danny but its probably the closest thing we'll get to ever having the band back together.
@@Tlpopescu he is! its supposed to be streamed i believe, so hopefully we get to see it that way. hes supposed to go on tomorrow if i remember correctly. still not a reunion though sadly, although i know steve will likely be there with him. not sure if hes going to be playing with danny though.
edit as of 20 minutes after posting this, apparently danny posted that steve will be conducting the orchestra, so thats fun!
Brandon does a pretty good job as front man. I was a little worried b4 I saw them last Dec. I was pleasantly surprised..He really kicked serious ass!
Agreed. I would also pay big$ to see them again
I remember listening to this album over and over when it came out in 1986.
This song makes me feel so Happy I kinda wanna cry at the same time!! ♥️💔
Kaleb Chavez Same
Me too!! ♥️🎶🎵🎶
me too uhuu
My husband understands that Danny Elfman is my one true love 💓💓💓💓💓
Could be worse....i have to share my OL with John Bon Jovi...f**k me
Mine too! ❤️
@@duanedahljr1669
oh my god im so sorry for you.
my stepfather ran over my cats head when i was a child. I feel ya.
What are you smoking? Crazy lady 😅
Same.
Still madly in love with them especially Danny Elfman
Its no wonder he's So successful he has talent and drive to match THen he meets hollywood. another successful endover
I love Steve...
I'm that one guy :3
Same I love Danny 🥰 he is wickedly handsome and still is and insanely talented
@@noneofyourbusiness2889 Cool then!! ~>We can SHARE!! Shows you have WICKED AWESOME taste!!
@@noneofyourbusiness2889 Cool then ~> WE can SHARE ~> LOL!!
Danny Elfman é simplesmente um genio musical ❣❣❣❣❣
I'm from OC and I'll will always regret not seeming them at Irvine Meadows during their annual Halloween show. OB is so under rated but I'll love them forever.
São tão bons que a gente não sabe se é ao vivo ou estúdio!
Thank you, Oingo Boingo !
Omg! My two favorite songs. Ugh, Danny Elfman's voice! Melting!🤪💓
2021, full quarantine and me here missing this band
Talking Heads is another dynamic visual and musical experience
I love his voice 😍
I remember discovering Oingo Boingi 1986 when my Frat Bro from Orange County, CA Matt Hendison loaned me his “Dead Man’s Party” cassette tape to jam in my “Sony Sports Walkman” as I walked the UCONN Campus to class-Thanks Bro!
......first heard Dead Man's Party in Rodney Dangerfield's movie Back to School and heard We Close Our Eyes a months later on the radio......got hooked on OB forever....... :)
i'm from Orange County too--Fullerton! I worked at Stray Cat and Black Hole Records and they sold some Oingo Boingo albums there, my parents were fans as well. I first heard "Little Girls" as a child and immediately became obsessed and I still am today.
@@_exitcrypt I grew up in Irvine. I discovered them sometime in 1979 after hearing "Ain't This the Life", and then "Violent Love" -- surely on KROQ, which was still new then and before Richard Blade started working there (in '81?). As soon as their ten-inch EP came out I immediately ran over to Licorice Pizza on Newport Blvd (I really miss the way record stores used to smell with all that vinyl!), went home, copied the record to cassettes so I could listen to it in the car, and then played the bloody hell out of them -- over, and over, and over, and over, again and again. At least until Only a Lad came out in '81, and then Nothing to Fear in '82, then Good for Your Soul, then So-Lo, etc., etc., putting each of those on cassette too and only using the LPs to make recordings to cassette. I still have all my LPs too. I've listened to OB's songs literally several thousands of times over. One never gets old of them. It's impossible to. I just wish they'd get back together again.
@@rexcruciatus2036
Your description of where/when reminds me of SNL “The Californians.” Awesome Dude!
@@jehugo66 I didn't think my So Cal Beach Boy or Valley Girl accents still came though just via text - LOL.
Not My Slave is one of the best songs of the eighties 💯💯💯💪💪💪💝💝💝
This makes me so happy! Great song! Great memories... man life is going by too fast.. 😔❤️
God it sure is! On one hand there is the past, living in the moment you never think "I'm making some great memories here! Or, let me make some great memories!" You just live in the moment and enjoy it. In the present, you never think, "Thank God I made all those great memories!" Because the moments we lived, they just became, incidentally, memories. It feels wonderful and sad to reminisce! Brings a huge smile to my face, and a great somber sadness inside because I know those times will never come back and the day will come when the music just ends. Live life to the fullest everyone!!!
@@flamitaz there is no time..someday SOURCE will let you relive any moment in your life...
Akashik records
Nothing is lost
Yes.
I'll slow it down for you. 😉
Amo essa banda, essas 2 músicas já vi incontáveis vezes, adoro, é muita alegria uma energia maravilhosa
I love this song and the next one. Was privileged to see them perform at a free concert in the campus of UCLA and 81 or two. English beat was there too
We Close Our Eyes...Greatest. Song. EVER!! Going to Oingo Boingo concerts since 83' in San Diego (actually in 91Xfest in TJ!),
and Danny's sold out concert last year 2023 in San Diego! He's still as amazing as he every was, but We Close Our Eyes (and Out of Control #2), just hits my soul!!🥹❤️🎤❤
I loved 91X!
2020 and still loving this!
¿this comment in "Oingo Boingo - "We Close Our Eyes" & "Not My Slave" (1987) - MDA Telethon"? ¿It's a RUclips bug?
@@TastyAvenger what do you mean?
I still have their original album, I noticed some kinda talent going on, so much I thought they had to be British! Then I found out American, but he got his start in Europe, his story is amazing how he just fell into music and oh by the way could really sing!
Great vocal range!
He's so dreamy *sighs*
He is kinda cute.
I'm a straight guy.
@@feellucky271 no you're not
Thank you Dr.Fraud.
Your opinion is worth exactly what I paid you for it.
I always thought he was so handsome too
Yes he is 😍
QUE ÉPOCA LEGAL!!! OINGO BOINGO É UMA BANDA QUE CRESCI OUVINDO! ELE CANTA COM A ALMA
Bom demais, aquela banda que não tem música ruim!!!
hoje....o que escutamos a contra gosto é caneta azul....
@@UlissesPereiramarketer Infelizmente!! 🤦
Oh! Nós brazukas aqui! Show esse caras marcaram
Somos dois !!!!
This guy has talent.
Edward scissor Hands and Other notable scores
Love you Daniel!!!!
Don't forget the best one: The Simpsons!
It is just like I closed my eyes and this glorious era was gone. 😢🖖🌺🇺🇸Thank you RUclips for being a virtual time machine.
As a guy with muscular dystrophy i wish people still knew about how important this telethon was
Danny had such projection and Range... Amazing energy!
Saw them fist time @ SDSU Aztec Bowl 1983 Labor Day aweekend with Madness & The Police... Best concert ever.. Oingo opened first. First time seeing The Police never knew it would be their last tour together. Synchronicity
Great songs.
Amazing band, singer sings very well!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I love this song!
I started listening to oingo boingo because Danny elfman showed up in a dream i had where he chased me, ripped up my mail into tiny pieces that flew through a screen door into my throat while he screamed Oingo Boingo at me.
Upon awaking from that crazy dream I immediately looked up Oingo Boingo and have been hooked ever since. Im sure my subconscious knew about Oingo Boingo, but dang, that was the most intense way i got into a band.
Iconic band. They accompany any party just right. Love these guys since the mid 80s
Quarentena em casa só curtindo Oingo Boingo
Not My Slave, tem a mensagem clara:" não perca o preciso tempo da nossa vida com coisas inúteis" GÊNIO Danny Halfman. Poucos sabem, mas o criador da trilha dos Simpsons, Batman etc...
Fato curioso no video acima, é que OB fez playback normal na primeira musica, porém, na seguinte foi uma espécie de karaokê: playback no som dos instrumentos mas com o vocal ao vivaço de Danny Elfman
.
He’a Musical Genius!
these two songs are mad underated they r so nice and soft and sweet
Que saudade dos anos 80....
Oingo Boingo é magnífico.....
Junho/2020
Sonzeira mesmo.. ahh os anos 80
Hey Danny & guys... Love you all Soo!! This song goes straight to my 💜🥰heart!!
Amo a música We Close Our Eyes. Me trás boas lembranças dos anos 80, quando eu era ainda moleque...tudo era melhor naquela época, músicas, filmes, TV, pessoas, festas e até o futebol...
Simplesmente música de altíssima qualidade.
My 2 favorite Oingo Boingo songs! 💞
Amo Oingo Boingo! É o tipo de banda que todas as músicas são ótimas! Que saudades dessa época 😍😍😍
Essa era uma Banda que sua perfomasse ao vivo era fodástica. Adoro oingo boingo
This band it's so great !❤
And the backup harmony NEVER disappoints! Kudos, lads, all!
Both Oingo Boingo and, The Tubes, two of the most underrated rock bands of our era.
Saw them many times. Always fun and energetic! Just a great band to go see! Rock On!
Muito bom, Brasil ama Oingo Boingo
2019? Boingo come back!
The date of recording is 1987 ... :(
Danny recently said that he was not going to reunite the group!...
@@un743_01 I think part of it is how busy he is with film scoring, the other part is they don't want to completely lose their hearing. I don't blame them, it just makes me sad I will never see them live.
@@tiffanygray3577 the other guys are still playing, I think it was oingo boingo former members or vatos dance party
Yes Yes Yes! Please reunite even if it's part time. Anything. One of the all time great bands in my opinion. :-)
@@matiasmartinez7208 They played last weekend,a live event on the internet. They're going to do that until the 'Rona is gone. The lead singer kinda looks like Danny. Most of the original band members
sonzera, bons tempos...i´m from brazil

A banda que nunca deveria ter acabado
Banda tão boa que até as músicas que não foram lançadas são animais
Eu tenho grandes recordações de uma paixão antiga! Que saudade dessa época!
Beautiful
Adoro esse rapaz da sanfona.
One of their best songs
essa banda nos anos 90 fez muito sucesso, e até hoje ainda curtimos como se fossem atual, lembro que tinha o disco vinil e dei de presente a uma amiga. nota mil.
magnifica uhuu
Dude can sing!!!! PERIOD!!!!
Maravilhoso eu ouvia no rádio FM e até agora no início dos anos 2000 era muito tocada aqui no RS.
Esta música é d meio d anos 80
Flávio Lima Boa noite.
Hoje tocou esse clássico no discorama, programação da radio Atlântida de Porto Alegre, entre as 12:00hs e 13:00hs.
Um grande abraço.
Fantastic performance. What would the world be without Oingo Boingo..
Dany y el chatito son bravos 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Great flash back when I was in grade school. My ancient friends/relatives like them too
Oingo Boingo é muito anos 80!
17 PPL THAT DISLIKED THIS ARE SHALLOW AND EMPTY INSIDE
I actually like this and for 80s music it is no way cheesy great Melody too it just seems to fit in Place
