Back in the day, syndicated radio shows were often distributed to stations on vinyl and then the station would play them over the air. If you find the rare discs, they have a full show on record, including DJ patter and even ads. So I picked up this mid-80s interview show maybe a year ago and it has been sitting in my “new” pile half-listened to ever since (I certainly didn’t pay $12 BTW; that’s an old sticker from the legendary, now long-gone Sounds in NYC). So I put it on and the interviews were still surprisingly boring, but at the end of Side 3, I found an awesome surprise—a minute-long Budweiser ad performed by Oingo Boingo, the punk rock/1940s jump swing band fronted by Danny Elfman, who went on to compose soundtracks for every Tim Burton movie and dozens of other hit films. What OB plays here is not really the Budweiser jingle (“for all you do / this Bud’s for you”) but rather an original, all-new song, though they do sing the slogan over it. The tune has a few elements that were probably derived from “Who Do You Want To Be” (my favorite OB song), like some of the trombone solo and the general jerky-jerky beat. It’s amazing to discover new, lost music from the band at its creative height—I was thrilled! Because I found such buried treasure on this, I threw a post-it on to the cover so that I wouldn’t forget where it is (I’m not going to write on the jacket like some DJ did years ago) and while you could argue that this belongs in my Eurythmics or HoJo sections, it is now firmly residing in the Os.
