Why Should I Care?

Nothing Bad Ever Happens by Oingo Boingo

If you grew up in Los Angeles in the 1980's (like I did) you were exposed to the greatest radio station ever.....KROQ. They called themselves World Famous and they were.....only to the kids in LA. But what would eventually make KROQ World Famous was the fact that they played some of the best music long before anyone else did. This is just one of those great songs that we heard every day for, what felt like, years (if you tune into the station right now, you'll probably hear this song....just wait an hour or so).

The album, Good For Your Soul, was released in mid summer 1983 and only had one single released off of it....and this wasn't it. This song was such a hit on KROQ that the band ended up making a music video for it and everything. Being a band of weirdos, they made this video.....No one ever understands what is going on inside lead singer/main songwriter Danny Elfman's head, but it is filled with awesome songs and really weird images. Try to figure out what he's thinking in this video. There's a thief stealing all his stuff while he watches tv.....there are faces coming out of the wall.....Danny is a waiter serving his band members heads up as dinner in a restaurant.....Like I said, He makes great music. After the band broke up, Danny would go on to make a lot more great music as a composer for movie and TV soundtracks.

But for now, be glad he didn't become a film director. Enjoy.
