Oingo Boingo was a critically acclaimed American New Wave rock band of the 1980s better known for their influence, soundtrack contributions, and high energy Halloween concerts than their chart successes. The band was founded in 1972 as a performance art group called The Mystic Knights of the Oingo Boingo; from 1976 it was led by songwriter/vocalist Danny Elfman, who later achieved substantial renown as a composer for film and television.
The group's format was changed twice. In 1980, it changed from a semi-theatrical music and comedy troupe into a new-wave octet, and shortened its name to "Oingo Boingo". In 1994, the band reshuffled its lineup, adopted a more modern rock sound and rechristened themselves Boingo. The band retired in 1995, having reverted to the name Oingo Boingo.

He’s my favorite composer! Sometimes I go to see movies just to hear his music, lol.
Yeah he's best. BUT, which is your favorite movie score that he's composed???
Mine would have to be Edward Scissorhands Followed by Nightmare. Although Batman Returns was Excellent.
hmm... for me the fav. list would go...
Edward Scissorhands, Planet of the Apes, Nightmare Before Christmas, and Spy Kids!
I also loved Deep Sea 3D!! I didn't count it as a 'real' movie because it was only an IMAX show. But there were parts of it that were really him, you know?
The music on Deep Sea 3D was from one of his only sets of music he didn't make for film, Serenada Schizophrana
what about Spiderman score, its one of the best, don't you agree? Well, all his scores are original, elfmanish and creation of a genious!
I wish he had concerts. xD
i know he didn't do this one but has any of you seen Transformers?
