The Mystic Knights of the Oingo Boingo on The Gong Show

posted by Scott Beale on Tuesday, September 4th, 2007

Check out this great video of Oingo Boingo (then called The Mystic Knights of the Oingo Boingo) on The Gong Show in 1976. Danny Elfman is playing the trombone and his brother Richard is the guy with the rocket. Richard Elfman started the band in 1972, shifting things over to Danny in 1976 when he decided to focus on filmmaking.

UPDATE 1: rkt88edmo pointed out a bizarre Budweiser commercial featuring Oingo Boingo.

UPDATE 2: Will Scovill tips us off to the trailer for the 1980 film “Forbidden Zone”.
