While “Not My Slave” and “Stay” mark Oingo Boingo's first moments of outright tenderness, the period is still best defined by its biggest hits. While the slick, stomping “Weird Science” became an anthem for nerds across the globe, “Dead Man’s Party” is a cinch for the group’s all-time best song.

Back in the 1980s, most women were still expected to do exactly what their husbands told them to do. Young girls were expected to get marriedand the status quo was largely expected to be followed. This song sort of set all of that on its ear, being released in 1986 and speaking about having a significant other that is viewed as a complete equal in ...
This particular song discusses how fast life tends to pass by. The lyrics discuss the fact that as human beings, we’re only here for a very short amount of time and that in some cases, that time is over in what seems like the blink of an eye. However, the lyrics go on to talk about the fact that people shouldn’t spend their lives being afraid of de...
At first, some people were actually offended by the song because it almost talks about death as if it doesn’t matter.

However, the song is actually trying to convey the...
By now, you’ve probably started to figure out that the band has a tendency to sing about certain themes. For whatever reason, they sang about deaf quite a lot. Here is another song that talks about the fact that life is very much a finite thing. More importantly, the lyrics discuss how you should never take anything for granted, because no one is p...
The song was written specifically for a movie by the same title and it became an almost instant hit. The truth is, both the movie and the song have become part of 1980s pop culture. As such, both are still enjoyed by a large number of individuals, even today.

Of course, the song also discusses how that causes ...
This is an interesting take on popular culture and the effect it has on young individuals. The lyrics talk about people seeing certain characters on television or in movies and then impersonating those characters as opposed to finding out who they truly are.
This is a rather dark song that talks about feeling like you’re putting your very life on the line in order to do something and wondering if everyone is against you. The song becomes even darker when you realize that the individual who is telling the story has been through this situation so much that they are saying that it’s just another day, as i...
There’s actually been quite a lot of debate over the years what exactly is meant by the lyrics to this song. Like so many songs, it can carry a lot of different meanings and is quite dependent on your own personal views when you listen to it. Many believe that the lyrics are referring to one person asking another to choose life over death in order ...
It’s almost interesting to note that this is largely considered such a popular song by the group because it’s so incredibly dark. Just as the title implies, it’s talking about a funeral. If that’s not dark enough to get your attention, consider this fact. It’s also about the deceased individual attending that funeral as if he were tending his own p...
