Sorry about being a nerd but this has to be said: The song "Little Girls" is not about pedophilia. It was was written as an attack on the culture in LA of older men in the entertainment industry always driving around in their convertibles and going to openings with girls on their arms who were barely in their 20s. The lyrics, which talk about the advantages one such man perceives in dating girls who are young enough to be his daughters, come to a climax when the character realizes that he's got himself in trouble as his latest little girl is in fact underage.
Something tells me this guy did not even see this comment. Also, he should listen to "who do you want to be" from their album "good for your soul" to get a better idea of what this band is really like. I am surprised so many people accuse Danny Elfman of being a pedophile when nirvana made a song about abducting and torturing a girl (the song "polly" from the album "nevermind") that was made to show what that kind of person was thinking. The same thing goes for "Bang Bang" by Green Day. I am also verry worried this song is why they don't seem to have any respect, all because people misinterpret the song because they lack the ability to notice when someone is being sarcastic. Well, I feel like I have gone on for far too long so i'm just going to stop typing.
Thank you for explaining to this nitwit claiming to be a snob what this song is actually about. It really shouldn't need to be explained but most people are dullards these days.
@@joelybarish4618 Oh, fuck you. Everyone makes mistakes, including you. People like you are the reason we can't have decent conversations anymore. Just get the fuck outta here.
For someone who's a fan of heavy metal, with it's wide range of outlandish imagery, you're being curiously literal in your interpretation of the Oingo Boingo song.
@@Highland804 He never performed with the band but he served more as a mentor to the group, and since he created the Mystic Knights he's pretty much responsible for Oingo Boingo ever existing. It's also worth noting that he was very involved in their music videos and he even appeared in the music video for "Gratitude". In my book it's safe to say that Richard is just as big of a part of Oingo Boingo, just as Danny was.
I think the "Little Girls" song is basically trolling pedoes and showing how creepy they are. Oingo Boingo mocked a lot of counter culture stuff and were making fun of the creeps they were surrounded by in San Fran. Another good example of them using this mocking style is in their song Capitalism on the same album. They mock young socialists and call them idiots who've never done anything with their lives. Basically most of Oingo Boingo's music is satirical. That being said, a good song or two of theirs to check out would be Dead Man's Party or their song Just Another Day.
Little Girls is a satirical song making fun of Hollywood stars in their 60s dating girls half their age. It's not actually about little girls don't worry lol. Oingo Boingo's songs tend to be dark and satirical. Danny Elfman (the guy singing) Is a very well renowned film composer too btw, he performed the themes for Tim Burton's movies, he was the singing voice for Jack Skellington, He performed the Men In Black Theme, the Batman Animated Series theme, as well as The Simpsons theme to name a few;p
*You're full of shit! That's exactly what a pedophile would say. Have you ever seen "To Catch a Predator?" How many of them confessed to what they were really doing? GTFOH with your cognitive dissonance.*
@@NinjaDildoShow Uh that's literally what the song is about lol look it up. Danny Elfman himself said that entire album was made up of in your face jabs many taken from newspaper headlines with the intention to offend anyone and everyone. Clearly it worked lol
Yeah cos no one has ever written a song in an ironic fashion and every lyric written should be taken at face value without looking for any sort of depth 🙈🙈

For a "music snob" I am surprised you don't know of Oingo Boingo. Legendary composer Danny Elfman is the frontman. And of course they are not promoting pedophilia. It's satire.
Little Girls is about old guys (Hollywood producers) dating very young women and this the perspective Danny Elfman wrote from - this song is not about literal pedos lol it comes from a place of disgust for these kind of relationships
Most of the lyrics on Oingo Boingo's first 3 albums are written with ironic lyrics, songs like Capitalism, Nothing To Fear, and Nothing Bad Ever Happens to me is other great examples. I love this group for their hilarious lyrical takes on different types of people including this one. I'd suggest On The Outside, Controller, or Nothing Bad Ever Happens To Me as the second song to react to, the message will be MUCH more understandable in an ironic sense and have fun instrumentals all around.
man, back when i was first around on the internet, anybody remember the pedo bear thing? yea,i instantly knew what song this was when the music started up.
@@cobraglatiator What's funny is that Pedobear or known by it's original name "Kumar" was originally just a reaction to troll threads on the Japanese site 2chan, but then 4chan just misinterpreted it as the symbol of pedophilia.
@@cobraglatiator I think this case study is interesting because shows that even with the same material different cultures will interpret things differently even if they're all on the same internet.
Little Girls is a mockery of old guys in Hollywood who date much younger women, but with it being from the point of view of a character like that it can be confusing, although I think it’s most effective that way.
It's humor, you know, not pedophilia. DUDE. Also, Steve Bartek is one of the best guitar players ever!! Try listening to more of their songs, you might like them.
Oingo Boingo is a weird Band Indeed, they have a few songs that are well made but you just don’t want to hear. I’d recommend any song from the album Deadman’s Party. Boingo is a band that is like a itch that you just go back for more even if you don’t want to.
Pretty sure the Oingo Boingo song was satire on like, 60's hollywood or some shit like that. Looked into it once, don't want the FBI on my ass again, tl;dr, it's not actually about what you think it's about... i think...
When recording their first album, they went to California. This is when they were first exposed to the very common sight of producers and “ artists” walking around with random girls or pressuring young girls who wanted to get into the business that they were “their way in”. The lyrics aren’t even explicitly in favour of pedophilia, as the words “isn’t this a nightmare too?” Is meant to suggest that mental illness or not, the perpetrators know what their doing to be WRONG, and do it anyway. Most music today requires no nuance to understand anyway, so I wouldn’t expect someone to look into it. In fact another song on the album makes a similar point. What you see, is not always what you get. Let me know if that one requires explanation too.
Man!! Danny Elfman is probably one of the best composers of all time, take a look at his discogs page, probably you'll never do a search of the band and I recommend you to do it, that's not pedo, is ironically particular and really really nice for a mainstream band in his epoque
The way your barber did you hair should too... Oingo Boingo's Little Girls is not about promoting pedopgilia, stated in like hundreds of comment's you don't take the time to read, Danny Elfman commonly made songs about a individual in society talking aboit it trough his songs, like Little Girls, or Private Life, many more...
Nuance doesn't seem to be this guy's strong suit when it comes to his Oingo Boingo reaction :-p I wonder if he believes "Hell Is For Children" promotes child abuse...
Lol so you’re pretty well versed on music theory but you couldn’t consider the fact that satirical songs exist? Danny Elfman is also a household name and he’s actually becoming the next John Williams at this point.
Isn't this a dream come true? That's talking about the money and fame. The nightmare is by which those are achieved. Blackmail that he's trapped in. In the music video, hands are trapping him in the nightmare. Later a shot with him and a couple of people at a table are giving a new guy a strong drink. They take it just fine, but he can't handle it. Has to choke it down. What do you think he's choking on?
It's super obvious that based on Danny's inflection in "Little Girls" that it's a more caricature-like singing to convey its satire. Compare it to more sincere songs like "Stay" or "We Close Our Eyes" and you can hear the heavy styling on his part. It's not a declaration of being a Kevin Spacey, but rather a rebuking of it and its prevalence.
I think you took the Oingo Boingo song too seriously lol It's a joke song that makes fun of pedophiles is all, it's supposed to come off as creepy but that is not his actual feelings, he's playing a character
I love Oingo Boingo, but I'm not a huge fan of their earlier, sillier, punkier stuff. Elfman is an amazing composer, but the music just doesn't appeal to me. I'm a bigger fan of the later stuff. If you want to check out something MUCH different than this, find Insanity from their Boingo album.

This song by Oingo Boingo is about how predatory and creepy older guys can be. The entire point went swooshing right over your sleepy, sleepy head.

Just remember Oingo Boingo includes world famous composer Danny Elfman, also his brother Richard
Richard was never in Oingo Boingo, but he founded The Mystic Knights of the Oingo Boingo, which was more of a street performance group.
