DEF: Oingo Boingo “Weird Science”

Here’s one for the list of songs you may have thought did better than it really did on Billboard‘s Hot 100 chart. Los Angeles-based band Oingo Boingo had two singles chart in the 1980s, the biggest and most-remembered of which is “Weird Science” from the film of the same name. However,”Weird Science” didn’t make the Top 40. On this date in 1985, “Weird Science” hit its peak position of number 45, where it would spend two weeks.

“Weird Science” is today’s Daily Eighties Flashback.
