It's been a long time since I've done a new Music Mondays. So this is the very first Music Mondays for 2013. I love 80's rock music, especially if it has an Halloween/horror theme to it. That's pretty much why I really like Oingo Boingo's Dead Man's Party album. I've been aware of Oingo Boingo when I heard their song 'Weird Science' which is on this album, a few years ago.
Oingo Boingo was an American rock band. They are best known for their influence on other musicians, their soundtrack contributions, and their high energy Halloween concerts. The band was founded in 1972 as The Mystic Knights of the Oingo Boingo, a performance art group. From 1976 it was led by songwriter/vocalist Danny Elfman, who has since achieved success as a composer for film and television.
The group's format changed twice. In 1979, it reshaped from a semi-theatrical music and comedy troupe into a ska-influenced New Wave octet and shortened their name to Oingo Boingo. Towards the end of the 1980s, the band began shifting to a more guitar-oriented alternative rock sound, and away from the use of horns and synthesizers. The band retired after a sold out farewell concert on Halloween 1995.
Danny Elfman has been a composer for a lot of famous directors but he is most known for his continuous work with director Tim Burton. For this Music Mondays I've chose the song Dead Man's Party from Oingo Boingo. I really like this song, it's the perfect dance song and it's played at all the Halloween parties. It has Halloween written all over it and if you really love songs to dance to and has a horror/Halloween theme then this song is for you.
