Oingo Boingo - Insects Lyrics

is it bad that i feel like the cat thing on the cover is singing this

Bugs Life 2

This song should have been the background noise for the oogie boogie scene in Nightmare Before Christmas.

Nobody


The Pharaoh from Seder-masochism while Egypt is being dragged into hell rn:

As a person who is absolutely terrified of bugs, this song is very relatable

Insects make me want to cringe

im from exodus by nina parley
edit: paley*

Dance it out, Pharaoh!

I have a feeling the Red Hot Chili Peppers attended some early Oingo Boingo shows

Cover by Finntroll : https://youtu.be/33gtEy6M2UQ

This needs to get a revival with an accompanying dance craze, like "Macarena" or the Charleston. In fact, how about a Fly Swat Charleston?

I can't tell if it's a chicken or a person making the chicken sounds at the beginning. Same goes for the cat sounds at the end.

My retarded cat when it sees a fly

I sing this song while picking fleas off my cat.

@Nuclear Cat Baby jesus, thought I was the only one.

@emotional_mess And sometimes I just fry them with an electric flea comb!

@Nuclear Cat BabyI don't have an electronic comb, does it hurt the cat?

@emotional_mess A little bit. It doesn't work too well because the rubber bits on the tips get in the way. One time it caught a gravid flea queen that burst open and the innards looked like the stuffing of a tiny ripped-open stuffed animal.

@Nuclear Cat Baby cool

Am I the only one that is reminded of Ministry's "NWO"?

This a jojo referencia?

OINGO BOINGO BROOOOOODAAAAAAARS!

Songs that make U go feral

Headphone listeners get a real good experience.

ThEy MaKe Me WaNt To DaNcE

Getting a nice Mr. Bungle vibe from this song. This is amazing!

Oingo Boingo was an undeniable influence for Mr. Bungle https://youtu.be/uhYloq1HPp8

and Primus

That buzzing noise really makes it feel like a bug is flying in your ear if you listen to it loud enough

5 people are stuck in their private lives

So this is where Araki got the name for Stardust Crusaders.

give it up for the bassline

"Those Insects Make me want to DANCE!
They Bite and Sting and SUCK SUCK SUCK"
Classic! Oingo Boingo with headphones
makes the Insects come alive.

That fucking bass

That transition from verse to chorus is so frigging smooth. It goes from "THE TERROR OF BUGS" to a dance party in one second and it seems as natural as breathing.

Danny Elfman, the legend.

this is a fukcing bop

Every time I listen to this, I feel high

The song is about hating all of us but loving their fellow Freemasons and the occult brethren

Came here for Finntroll's cover. Their version is incredible.

Same for me. xD

@Kiss-Horváth Ferenc How dare you say that

@Kiss-Horváth Ferenc You are right on that, but this is Fintroll so you can't wait for them to not have brutal vocal. They made it as funky as possible with brutal

the insects noises are really cool with headphones

Holy shit, they are!

Like someone's flossing your ears

formicophilia

If you love this. You'll love Toyah's "Insects" too.

who's here because of Nina Paley's animations ? :D

Plague of locusts. That's why.
Somehow I hate Nina Paley for this.
Good groove though. The trumpets got me good.

Three of the ten plagues, I can only remember lice and locusts.

Nina is such a treasure! Unbeknownst, creating a new wave of oingo boingo fans 😁

💃🦗🕺🦗💃🦗🕺

I'm here because I saw them in concert many many times and love their music.

Abi Salia since when has stylized = Bad?

Takes me right back to my freshman year of HS

now we all know you are old

@Joseph Lee lol I'll be 47 next November

This has to be the weirdest and one of the best Boingo songs that was ever created

Lor Marie well, there is insanity

that one dislike is by a person who has a bug phobia

I'd like to think that one dislike is Stathis Borans.

AND SUCKS

I have a phobia of bugs but I love this song

@Erik Tillgren i hate roaches and spiders

@ernestine maloy Spiders aren't bugs ;)

Bump and grind it.

saintⓋearth whooooot

no one disliked this

Actually some morons did dislike it.

@Sarah's Riding The Storm Wave. some morons have zero taste in music...

truth be told best band

best band Ever!!!!!!
