Oingo Boingo is Not Shy

"How is it that countless marauding teens overcome heat, sweat, and potential personal harm to try to enjoy a rock concert?

Well, I was astounded again on Wednesday night. Oingo Boingo played the Second Chance, and they had all sorts of wacky teens screaming and jumping around at their feet. And these folks didn't seem to mind that their little hairdos got all sticky from haphazardly thrown drinks. No, NO! It was much, much too exciting down front. The tiniest girls were withstanding the greatest of risks just to get close enough to the lead singer. I think his name is Danny.

He's so funny! He says he's into body paint and I heard hes going to get a tattoo! Pretty weird.

They played a bunch of songs, I lost count. Sometimes they get a little long. I don't know, I like all the New Music- everybody does- but I just don't get their style. No way. I mean, just what does Oingo Boingo do?

Sometimes they play these really weird sort of art songs. Sometimes they play these really fun punk songs. And why do they have such a big band? Eight guys crammed on that tiny stage! Can you believe it! Their hotel bill must be really huge.

Danny didn't seem to mind being crushed on stage, not at all! He gave all sorts of special smiles to everybody, and he shook a lot of people's hands. He's so friendly! In fact sometimes he was so close to the crowd, he almost fell on top of the teeny girls! I was pretty scared at that point! I thought that we might have a riot scene!

Everybody loved Oingo Boingo. After their second, extra-special encore, the band promised to play for us again next year. In fact they may play two nights in a row! That should help them because they don't make a lot of money on record sales, and their hotel bills really are huge.

Too bad I didn't get the drummer's towel."

I really loved this silly 1983 article on Boingo and was afraid that the image would get so crunched over time that eventually it would no longer be legible, so I transcribed it here. Such an interesting little piece of music history.

"He gave all sorts of special little smiles to everybody"

I bet he did. ❤️

i hate when songs are like 2 minutes and 46 seconds long. bro where are you going i was just getting to know you

My favorite men in my favorite colors. 💚❤️💚❤️
