What the! I just found out that the band ive been listening to, Oingo Boingo, was the band Danny Elfman was the lead singer in!
After Oingo Boingo dissolved, he moved on to become quite successful composing musical scores for Tim Burton, as well as other works like the theme song to The Simpsons and many many more popular tv shows and movies.
I had heard that he was in a band before writing movie scores but never checked it out. Sheesh!
