Alphabet Song...

[furtech]

A friend's post got me to looking up videos for "The Mystic Knights of the Oingo-Boingo". This was the band that Danny Elfman took over from his brother, Richard Elfman back in the day. Richard is best known for creating, "The Forbidden Zone," a film that is almost guaranteed to offend someone (certainly he offended all the critics when the film was debuted). The film is hard to define and is proof that Richard is nuts...but at least some of the world has caught up with his brand of crazy.

I got this song from the film stuck in my head...
[Mostly work safe except for one small f-bomb in the middle]

The song is Elfman's take on this classic Three Stooges piece:

Okay, that's funny as hell...I saw Forbidden Zone once like a billion years ago, and that song has stuck ever since. All this time, I had no idea it was based on a Stooges number!

This adds a whole extra layer of humor to the original piece, a la Zero Hour.

NICE find! Yep they made Mystic Knights of the Oingo Boingo and then turned into Oingo Boingo! :)

(I am a HUGE fan of Oingo Boingo, I was lucky enough to see them 6 times live)
