Daily Ambivalence - Oingo Boingo

Oingo Boingo was a band that held guitars and played saxophones sometime in the 80s and 90s. In the band's early days they labored under the monicker Mystic Knights of the Oingo Boingo, but that didn't make any sense so they shortened their name to something that did make sense.

Danny Elfman, King Boingo to his friends, disbanded Oingo Boingo when his best friend Tim Burton gave up fashionable haircuts for Lent. This seemed like a poor reason to many fans, but it worked out well for King Boingo because he was going deaf from all the dead man parties.

King Boingo now lives in Hollywood and periodically waves a baton.

Oingo Boingo . . . matters.
