(The disc includes versions of a few of the band's A\u0026amp;M-era gems, most notably \"Only a Lad,\" but these are live workouts from the career retrospective BOINGO ALIVE, not the original studio tracks.)\u003cbr\u003eWith the exception of the soundtrack hit \"Weird Science,\" Oingo Boingo had little commercial impact during this era, but their albums became more complex and musically interesting, with leader Danny Elfman's songs moving away from the sometimes forced wackiness of the A\u0026amp;M material. If you mostly know Oingo Boingo from either Elfman's adventures as a soundtrack composer or their early new wave hits, BEST O' BOINGO will surprise you.","brand":"MovieMars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46917338923295,"sku":"008811042424","price":21.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/7833\/0399\/files\/5cbb5ae64289576e34adbe62a4c77e6c.jpg?v=1777997905","url":"https:\/\/www.moviemars.com\/products\/best-o-boingo","provider":"MovieMars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
