I, DeeDee Corona, had the honor of meeting Danny Elfman at a party in Belair California once upon a time. I have to admit that I DID NOT believe it was him, because he looked soooo much younger in person than he did in the "Private Life" music video. I apologize, Danny! Please take it as a compliment, on my behalf. I write children's poetry, and am an abstract artist, myself. For the record, I'd like to say that you are my BIGGEST influence in the music and writing industry! It was a delight to meet you in person, and see your actual band depart from us in a white stretch limo. Aside from that, I admire you, and your band to the fullest degree. Dionne (DeeDee) Corona
For my fellow musicians and music trivia buffs: If you listen to the studio version and how the tracks are panned, it is very reminiscent of The Beatles' later recordings.I bought the 'Boingo' CD when it was first released and this is one of my favourite tracks.
I think one of the things that I love about this (besides the awesome music) is just how casual he is- we don't seem to have that very much anymore. I mean there he is, it's the farewell tour, and he's got shorts and a baggy shirt, kicked off his shoes, doesn't even look like he's shaved in a few days. His appearance isn't his focus, not even a little. He's there for the music, the rest is secondary.
Thanks so much for sharing this classic by the best band that is never more. You really got a great copy of this to share with the rest of us who were not present for their farewell to mankind. I Thank You & Mary Thanks You... Bravo!!!
awesome song from an awesome album and tour....got to see the album and the farewell versions of the tour both amazing. Love your work in movies Danny, but I miss seeing you guys live
Sorry...never happen. Danny has moved on, and is not interested in a reunion. That's a big part of the reason he released the "Oingo Boingo" name to Johnny Vatos, who has reunited many original members with a very talented group of new ones for Oingo Boingo Dance Party.
I don't think there's anyone in this entire world more out there, brilliant, respected - my God, I have no words appropriate enough to describe Danny Elfman!! I LOVE YOU, DANNY & ALWAYS WILL!! I crossed paths with him in 1981 in Providence, RI & had no clue who he was then - please forgive me Danny; it will soooo never happen again - you can pound on me anytime -> I've been a bad "Little Girl"!!
I love this song...thanks for posting. Wish Oingo Boingo would fall in line with all the other acts that do "farewell" tours....we need another one, please, Danny!!
sadly Danny can't tour if they did a reunion tour like they did in 2010 I believe. It is because he has ireversible hearing damage as a result of his continuous exposure to the high noise levels involved in performing in oingo boingo and a possible genetic predisposition to hearing loss. That being said I wish I could have seen them live. I have listened to them since in was about 8 and that was the last year they stopped touring :(
I had the opportunity to see them live several times in the 80's. Even got to see and hear them perform Weird Science. Very rare even after it was released in 1985.
I defy you to find a song which expresses the spirit of women's liberation better than "Mary" -- she came to that big mountain, and at first she was afraid...
I get all emotional when I hear this song. The Boingos were in my estimation a very underrated band. Danny Elfman, what an outstanding performer!
Saddest song he ever wrote, probably followed closely by Useless.
Fuck this song is so deep

this song is keeping me from ending my life

I always figured this song for a spiritual successor to "She's Leaving Home", and yeah, The Beatles' influence on Danny cannot be understated.
@@CraigKeidel You said exactly what I was going yo say! Great minds think alike ❤ Mary (obviously not the influence/namesake, but a girl can dream😉)

This is just the farewell concert that they came together for well after their last album, he didn't usually look so casual.

Bravo!!!
Danny Elfman is an absolute musical genius. He takes all aspects of music. This song sounds a little bit like a Phish song in some ways.
Sad but beautiful 💗
Danny elfman is a........wait for it........ LEGENDARY!!!!!!
Dont forget Bartek!
I think we all have a "Mary" story to tell.
hey guys thanx for stopping in at the music store on pearl st. an buying that tenor made my day !
awesome song from an awesome album and tour....got to see the album and the farewell versions of the tour both amazing. Love your work in movies Danny, but I miss seeing you guys live
great smooth boice
I think im going to cry!!!!!!!
The album is called Boingo, by Boingo (not Oingo Boingo). It's out of print but not too expensive on places like eBay and Amazon marketplace.
I connect so much with this song, I know that you have to cut toxic things/people out of your life. that others do not like the person they see.
One more tour/album please.

So wished they would reunite.. so sad they never will
@@Highland804: I love the rest of the band too, but it just doesn't do it for me without Danny.

This song always reminded me of ELO, anybody think so ?
Both pretty heavily influenced by The Beatles, yeah. Check out Type O Negative sometime, if you're into heavy metal.

Jason Keller :( Yup...me too, missed the "live" boat. :( Thanks!

@@dj99surf Weird Science was only live in the Dead Man's Party tour. Hated the song at one time. But if you listed it's not bad.
aa musical mastermind how many soundtracks are his I guess this is the dead mans party love you
Bow down before Steve Bartek, for we are not worthy!
It's free on thepiratebay.
I think alot of Evanescence music is inspired by oingo boingo. Lots of cred!!!
@xrevenentx nice comparison
I need to know where I can get the disc I had that song but broke desire or know where I can get the songs I remember having a cover of a clown
This song is about me it seems
This song reminds me of The Giver.
#Orgasmic
wait - is this about tripping and never being able to reconnect to the nest?
That's my take, but probably not... All the acid makes me think a lot of Boingo tracks are about that. "Good For Your Soul", anyone?
lol
I defy you to find a song which expresses the spirit of women's liberation better than "Mary" -- she came to that big mountain, and at first she was afraid...
"She's Leaving Home" by The Beatles... This is part 2, in spirit
Wouldn't that mean it's a bad thing if she comes home crying and it implies she made a mistake in leaving the first time?
@@JonCrs10 She started to cry when she realized that they would never accept her for who she is, and so she was going to leave them behind forever.
