Episode 31: No One Lives Forever

Let’s have a party! There’s a full moon in the sky!

Join us as we sing the praises of one of Oingo Boingo’s gleefully macabre songs from 1985, No One Lives Forever. We explore the moral philosophy of mortality, examine genre influences, and discover a new OBSAS drinking game.

Let’s drink to bones that turn to dust!
