heart That whole album is nice. Leave your body and soul at the door. I love that line. They used "No one Lives Forever" in Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2. That's what made me check out the entire album.

My only two experiences with Oingo Boingo are movie-related, so I think of the movies rather than the band. But they were two GREAT movies!

"Dead Man's Party" was in the Rodney Daingerfield classic "Back to School" and whenever I hear this song, all I can think of is Robert Downey, Jr. as a punk rocker.

The other Oingo Boingo song I know is "Goodbye" from "Fast Times at Ridgemont High". I can't recall when the song was used, so here's some great Spicoli clips from that movie:
