You may not have heard of Oingo Boingo, but the group's leader Danny
Elfman is famous for his movie soundtrack work, including...

Batman
Dick Tracy 
Beetlejuice
Midnight Run
PeeWee's Big Adventure
Batman Returns
Delores Claiborne
To Die For 
Black Beauty 
Edward Scissorhands
Mission Impossible 
Sommersby
Nightmare Before Christmas


Well, okay, I cheated and checked CD Now to remember all these. ;-)

By the way, Oingo Boingo's most famous song, "Dead Man's Party" sometimes
finds radio airplay this time of year, if you can find a non-rap,
non-country station out there somewhere.
