*Private Life*
Interviewer Guy: .. who is the the head hancho.. or the head Oingo of Oingo Boingo.
And what a hit record you've got with Private Life.
Danny Elfman: Yah, ahhh, thanks! Thanks a lot!
IG: Danny, Oingo Boingo was founded 10 years ago. You're not a brand new baby.
DE: No, no spring chicken this one! Uh-uh!
IG: But when you started it was more like a theatrical group, wasn't it?
DE: Yeah, yeah, it was very very crazy. We only played on the streets for years.
Never even played on stages, where I was the fire breather.
IG: Yeah, but what an experience to have to face crowd.
DE: Oh yeah, but I had the fire, i had the torch, so if the crowds were mad I'd just
aim it at their way, see?
IG: How did that cross-country tour go?
DE: Went fantastic.
IG: You just got back?
DE: Oh yeah we had such a good time. We went all through the south, then... East Coast.
The south was tremendous to us, the people....
IG: Were you afraid in any of the areas.. the regions, that the audiene might not
know you as much as we do in California and New York.
DE: Oh yeah. Definitely. Like we were in Burmingham, Alabama, and we said, "Who in
the world would know who Oingo Boingo is in Burmingham, Alabama?" And we went on
there very apprehensively, and they were tremendous, it was just like being in L.A.
the kids were on the floor, the energy was great, we had a fantastic time.
IG: Concert halls, they were all sold out?
DE: It was all sold out, it was just great.
IG: Good, that's good to hear. Well, now you got a hit record, you just completed a
successful tour.. what are you going to do next, Danny?
DE: I don't know! I'll have to think about that!
IG: It won't be a vacation, I can promise you that!
DE: No, not us! Nuh-uh!
IG: Well this crowd's getting wild, I think I'd better send you down there!
DE: Yeah! Yeah!
IG: All right, head down to that stage, Danny, and we're going to hear Grey Matter?
DE: That's right!
IG: Good! All right Danny. And down goes Danny to join the group, Oingo Boingo, and
their next song for you, Grey Matter. Watch this!
