  • Oingo Boingo was an American new wave band. They are best known for their influence on other musicians, their soundtrack contributions and their high energy Halloween concerts. The band was founded in 1972 as a performance art group called The Mystic Knights of the Oingo Boingo, and 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 changed twice. In 1980, it changed from a semi-theatrical music and comedy troupe into a ska-influenced New Wave octet and shortened their name to Oingo Boingo. In 1994, the band reshuffled its lineup, adopted an alternative rock sound and rechristened themselves Boingo. The band retired in 1995, having reverted to the name Oingo Boingo.

  • Gli Oingo Boingo erano una band americana di musica New Wave. Sono meglio conosciuti per le loro influenze su altri artisti, per i contributi alle colonne sonore e per la grande energia dei loro concerti di Halloween che per i loro successi in classifica. Il gruppo è stato fondato nel 1972 da un gruppo di performer artistici chiamati The Mystic Knights of the Oingo Boingo; dal 1976 il gruppo è capeggiato dal cantautore Danny Elfman, che successivamente ottenne un grande successo come compositore per film e programmi televisivi. L'impostazione musicale del gruppo è stata cambiata due volte. Nel 1980, si passò da una musica e da una formazione semi-teatrale e da commedia per passare ad un ottetto di musica New Wave e Ska, accorciando anche il loro nome in "Oingo Boingo". Nel 1994, la band modificò ancora le sue linee di base, adottando un sound più alternativo e rock, ribattezzandosi Boingo. il gruppo si ritirò dalle scene nel 1995, dopo essere tornati al vecchio nome di Oingo Boingo.
  • Oingo Boingo, grupa założona w 1972 roku w USA jako 'Mystic Knights of the Oingo Boingo' będąca przedstawicielem new wave rock, którego najwyższa popularność przypada na przełom lat 70 i 80 XX wieku. Nie bywali częstymi gośćmi na listach przebojów - są znani przede wszystkim z soundtracków oraz pełnych energii koncertów z okazji święta Halloween. W 1976 roku liderem grupy został Danny Elfman, tekściarz i wokalista, który w późniejszym okresie zaczął komponować muzykę filmową tworząc ścieżki dźwiękowe do tak znanych produkcji jak m. in. Sok z Żuka, Batman czy Edward Nożycoręki. Jako członek Oingo Boingo miał swój udział również w ścieżce dźwiękowej do filmu Gliniarz z Beverly Hills - utwór "Gratitude" z albumu "So Lo". Profil grupy zmieniał się dwukrotnie - po raz pierwszy w 1980 roku - grupa odeszła od quaziteatralnego stylu gry na rzecz rodzącego się wówczas new wave i skróciła nazwę do powszechnie znanej "Oingo Boingo". Druga przemiana miała miejsce w 1994 roku, kiedy to ich muzykę zdominował nowoczesny rock, a nazwa uległa kolejnemu skróceniu - tym razem do "Boingo" będącego niejako zwiastunem rozpadu grupy, który miał miejsce rok później. Co ciekawe - przed rozwiązaniem grupa powróciła do dawnej nazwy "Oingo Boingo" i jako taka została rozwiązana.
