Man, I can't believe how good Oingo Boingo was/is live. Thanks for another great video of Danny Elfman's misunderstood band. I was one of those people who just figured Elfman took the easy road and became a movie soundtrack man put to good use for Tim Burton movies ... and The Simpson's theme. I just recently (2024) saw the US Festival performance from 1983 (on TH-cam) and my jaw dropped at what I had avoided listening to at any serious level for decades. The energy is amazing. The sound is just as good -- if not better -- than Oingo Boingo studio albums.
Who's goin' down? Who's goin' down, who's goin' down Whos' goin' down? Yeah I ride my elevator Through the shafts of your heart When you climb aboard, baby There's no getting off I'm a silent operator, won't you please take my hand I am so polite, I'm the elevator man It's a friction and harmony Who's gonna ride with me? I'm the elevator man Who's goin' down, who's comin' with me? Who wants to take a chance on a piece of abstract reality, huh It's only just a dance Won't you come and ride with the elevator man' Who's goin' down, yeah Movin' slow without a sound Who's goin' down, who's goin' down Who's goin'down? I said who's goin' down, who's goin' down Who's goin' down? Please, pretty baby, won't you come to me? Won't you let me be your daddy Come sit here on my knee? Come tell your Sugar Daddy all of your fears Cry for me darlin', let me taste your tears As they roll down your face and on to the sand We're going down together, I'm the elevator man Now we're movin' slow without a sound Goin' up and goin' down Take an intermission whilr the bird is in a hand Well with two in the bush, so give yourself a push Won't you come and ride with the elevator man? I said, Who's going down, who's going down Who's going down? Ooh, I said who's goin' down, who's goin' down Who's goin down? I said who's going down, who's going down Who's going? I said who's goin' down, who's goin' down Who's goin'? Say goodbye to hate, goodbye to love Goodbye to the world that you used to know about Say goodbye to your momma and your daddy too We're going to a place that you never even knew Now we're moving slow without a sound Going up and going down Take an intermission while the bird is in the hand It's worth two in the bush, so give yourself a push Won't you come and ride with the elevator man? Friction and harmony Who's gonna ride with me Far across the ocean on a floating bed of sand Eyes toward the empty sky Searching for the big surprise Who's gonna ride with the elevator man? Who's goin' down, who's goin' down Whos' goin'? I said who's going down, who's going down Who's goin'? I said who's going down, who's going down Who's goin'? I said who's goin'down?

I absolutely cannot think about elevator man at work, I will lose my mind I have to shut off any thoughts about elevator man
I wish you good luck in your very particular situation.
@@HumorlessProductions thank you friend, they’re happy but manic thoughts and will not stop and will consume my attention span and functioning

Who's goin' down, who's goin' down
Whos' goin' down?

I ride my elevator
Through the shafts of your heart
When you climb aboard, baby
There's no getting off
I'm a silent operator, won't you please take my hand
I am so polite, I'm the elevator man
It's a friction and harmony
Who's gonna ride with me?
I'm the elevator man
Who's goin' down, who's comin' with me?
Who wants to take a chance on a piece of abstract reality, huh
It's only just a dance
Won't you come and ride with the elevator man'
Who's goin' down, yeah
Movin' slow without a sound
Who's goin' down, who's goin' down
Who's goin'down?
I said who's goin' down, who's goin' down
Who's goin' down?
Please, pretty baby, won't you come to me?
Won't you let me be your daddy
Come sit here on my knee?
Come tell your Sugar Daddy all of your fears
Cry for me darlin', let me taste your tears
As they roll down your face and on to the sand
We're going down together, I'm the elevator man
Now we're movin' slow without a sound
Goin' up and goin' down
Take an intermission whilr the bird is in a hand
Well with two in the bush, so give yourself a push
Won't you come and ride with the elevator man?
I said, Who's going down, who's going down
Who's going down?
Ooh, I said who's goin' down, who's goin' down
Who's goin down?
I said who's going down, who's going down
Who's going?
I said who's goin' down, who's goin' down
Who's goin'?
Say goodbye to hate, goodbye to love
Goodbye to the world that you used to know about
Say goodbye to your momma and your daddy too
We're going to a place that you never even knew
Now we're moving slow without a sound
Going up and going down
Take an intermission while the bird is in the hand
It's worth two in the bush, so give yourself a push
Won't you come and ride with the elevator man?
Friction and harmony
Who's gonna ride with me
Far across the ocean on a floating bed of sand
Eyes toward the empty sky
Searching for the big surprise
Who's gonna ride with the elevator man?
Who's goin' down, who's goin' down
Whos' goin'?
I said who's going down, who's going down
Who's goin'?
I said who's going down, who's going down
Who's goin'?
I said who's goin'down?
