Boi-ngo


Boi-Ngo is the sixth studio album by American band Oingo Boingo, released in 1987.

Production

Boi-Ngo was the third album to be self-produced by Danny Elfman and Steve Bartek. The tracks "We Close Our Eyes", "Not My Slave" and "Pain" were released as singles.
A number of other songs were recorded for the album but cut, including "Remember My Name," "Find You", "Inside" and "Mama." An earlier song, "Cinderella Undercover", was also recorded but cut from release. "Mama" did see a limited release on a 7-inch vinyl box set edition of Boi-Ngo, included as the album's final track. New recordings of both "Cinderella Undercover" and "Mama" were subsequently featured on the "live in the studio" album Boingo Alive in 1988.

The track "Home Again" appears over the end credits of the movies Wisdom and Home Alone 3.
The track "We Close Our Eyes" appears in the final scene of the final episode of Psych, "The Break-Up," and continues through the closing credits.
The track "Not My Slave" appears in the 1986 film Something Wild, heard briefly on a car radio. The version used in the film is a different mix than the album version.
