Reviews Customer Reviews for Best O Boingo      Best O' Boingo      Rating:      I never received the product. I am very angry about that. The seller had 3 weeks from my purchase to get the CD to me, and has failed. It is now into March and I still haven't received my product. This person should be banned from selling on Amazon.     Customer Reviews for Best O Boingo Cd      Another Useless Compilation      Rating:      Oingo Boingo had more compilations than any band has a right to and they all suck. Godawful songs like "Wild Sex In The Working Class", "Flesh 'N' Blood", "Goodbye-Goodbye", and "Sweat" make their way on this one. Terrible songs like "Grey Matter", "Little Girls", "Insects", and "Capitalism" ruin others. This is one group where choosing the highlights is easy. OK so you have to choose the overused and rather bland "Dead Man's Party", the fun "Wierd Science", and classics "Who Do You Want To Be?" and "Only A Lad". From there you pick "Nothing Bad Ever Happens To Me", "Winning Side", "Gratitude", "Stay", "Just Another Day", "No One Lives Forever", "Help Me", "Only Makes Me Laugh", "On The Outside", "Wake Up, It's 1984", and "Same Man I Was Before". From the new direction "Where Do All My Friends Go?", "My Life", "New Generation", and "Home Again" from Boi-Ngo and the first 3 songs and maybe some others from Boingo might be OK to fill out the CD. Easy!!! Editorial Reviews for Best O Boingo Audio Cd      Amazon.com essential recording      Fronted by prolific composer Danny Elfman (The Simpsons, Pee Wee's Big Adventure, Batman, Dick Tracy, Edward Scissorhands), Oingo Boingo marry seriously clever songwriting and outright silliness. All the band's best songs are accounted for in Best Of, including "Dead Man's Party" and "Weird Science." The music is propelled by brassy hooks and ska-driven tempos. Elfman's vocals--sometimes a maxed-out, pleading whine, other times a ghoulish undercurrent of a whisper--are a pleasing mismatch for the random lyrical subject matter. --Beth Bessmer
