‘No One Lives Forever,’ but Oingo Boingo’s music does
Oingo Boingo was an American new wave band recognized for their unique mix of genres, combining rock, ska, pop, funk, avant-garde, and world music elements. Active mainly from 1979 to 1995, they gained a significant following, particularly in Southern California. Much like other famous rock groups, their music was marked by lively performances, peculiar and theatrical themes, and frequently satirical or humorous lyrics with a dark undertone.
