The story

What Is Oingo Boingo: Little Girls About?

The premise of Oingo Boingo: Little Girls without spoilers.

The video, often cited as one of the creepiest music videos ever, shows Danny Elfman alone in an empty house, dancing with young girls and performers with dwarfism. Other band members appear as vacant on‑lookers, and Elfman later walks down a street accompanied by an apparent under‑age girl. Its visual design borrows heavily from German‑expressionist cinema, echoing the distorted sets of The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1920).
