Rocky4 Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 I remember when it debuted. It was serious for a few weeks and then it went bananas. Gallagher and Pee Wee Herman got their start there. I'm gonna play my tuba!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FirstMeasure Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 I was just a kid, but i remeber this and the Muppet Show were my favorites. I can't believe that Oingo Blongo, they needed Danny Elfman's Musical Direction. The Horns were impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Californiaman Posted April 23, 2009 Author Share Posted April 23, 2009 Elfman's one of those musical genius guys. Didn't he do the music score for the first Batman Movie? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FirstMeasure Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Elfman's one of those musical genius guys.Didn't he do the music score for the first Batman Movie? Yeah, and The Simpsons and countless other High Profile Projects. He was the Singing Voice in Nightmare Before Christmas and Scored the movie, of course. He's great with Incidental Music, but my favorite stuff was Oingo Boingo. Dark and Poppy at the same time. Very different stuff, and Steve Bartek is one Underrated Guitar Player.

Cal so you know I was exposed to them quite a bit. I regret never seeing them in concert though. Their annual Halloween Show was always a big thing.

Homz Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 This growing trend towards classic black & white movie star avatars is making me wonder if you lack the depth that color brings to all good pictures.
