Wizard of Id by Parker and Hart for December 21, 2023

I suspect my life would be accompanied by Mahler’s music.

Is that the Simpsons theme I hear?

Let me guess…“Whole Day Off” and “Nothing to Fear” off the second album?

Fun fact: Danny appeared on The Gong Show in 1976 with the musical/comedy theater troop ‘The Mystic Knights of Oingo Boingo’, a precursor to his new wave band, ‘Oingo Boingo’. You can find the Gong Show performance on YouTube. They took first prize,

Danny Elfman is married to Bridget Fonda?! IDNKT.

I have no idea who he is.

You would think that at this time of year, it would be Christmas music…

Bring Back The Mystic Knights of the Oingo Boingo! Seriously.

Weird, ooo!Weird Magic !Magic wands and pots and pansBits and pieces andMagic from the handWe’re makin’Things I’ve never seen beforeBehind bolted doorsTalent and imaginationNot what teacher said to doMakin’ dreams come trueLiving tissue, warm fleshMagic wands and pots and pansBits and pieces (and)Bits and pieces (and)my creation—Is it real?It’s my creation…my creationIt’s my creationWeird Magic !Weird, ooo!

But does the Fink like it?

Danny Elfman scores. I never knew. Till now, I only knew of John Williams. Thanks, Wiz.

Hopefully just his life and not his life…….and times!!!!!!!

All I get is “Weird Science”

could I have one for Ramin Djawadi please?

I just love saying “Oingo Boingo”! Try it!

Play some Christmas music, Wiz. It’s the only time we can.

Ah! Songs from "The Nightmare Before Christmas! Just watched that again!

I’d much rather have John Williams music as my personal soundtrack. I guess the Wiz isn’t high enough level for that….

“The Mystic Knights of the Oingo Boingo was an American surrealist street theatre troupe, formed by performer and director Richard Elfman in 1972.

Richard grew up in the Crenshaw district of Los Angeles (Boyz n the Hood), was a semi-professional boxer, food and wine critic and successful stage director.

He is also a noted Afro-Latin percussionist and with his brother, Danny Elfman, founded the band Oingo-Boingo."

Christmas season? Why, “Batman Returns”, of course!

It’s better than Yakety Sax.

A little Danny Elfman music and a video to go with it. https://www.youtube.Com/watch?v=rrmUk2YUm14
