Episode 21: Oddities & Rarities

The OBSAS crew takes a deep dive into once hard-to-find Oingo Boingo songs that were released on movie soundtracks and compilations. If you were a tape-trading fan back in the day, you know what it felt like to open the mail and find a hand-labeled cassette called “Oddities and Rarities.”

Join us as we dust off these odd and rare gems: I’m Afraid, Better Luck Next Time, Goodbye-Goodbye, Bachelor Party, Something Isn’t Right, Happy, and Take Your Medicine.
