Now that I think of it, I wonder why this one didn't show up on the Only A Lad album. It's such a finely crafted Oingo Boingo song and a staple of their live shows.
They probably just didn't want to rehash too much. Only a Lad was their biggest hit, which is probably why they decided to carry it over to their first full studio album
@@nuclearcatbaby1131 that, and a different version than this was on the 10" EP, and the description of this implies a different 3rd recording on the 12" (i cant find it but i could be mistaken lmao) Add the mystic knights era demo and maybe they just didnt want to take up recording time for the 4th (maybe 5th) version of this song
one of those powersongs that always kicks up the energy. Playing air guitar in front of my computer, I feel like an old fool!( but a super energetic one!) I think I'll clean my bathroom, wsh somedishes, take out the trash, and maybe hitch a ride to Frankies Tiki Bar and get my crippled old ass kicked! the possibilities are endless!
This song represents for me when I was skateboarding all the time and partying constantly, livin up acting a fool. Inevitably it all comes crashing down, then you gotta live the normal way. Embarrassed by the over indulgences.
when i first listened to this song it was new to me id never heard it before but when i got to the chorus i swear id heard it before, but when i looked all over for anything nothing would show, im so confused but thats fine because the songs so good that no matter how much crazy deja vu i get i wont care because that wont stop me from listening to a good song
just heard for the firt time.. and this song apparently came out the year I was born :P its a lil dated in sound and style.. but I think its still pretty edgy and unig=que and would stand out a lil even today..
I definitely think this version on the song is a mix of mystic knights and oingo boingo it stills has the same energy as mystic knights but the sound of oingo boingo if that makes sense
