1* CreatorBacklash:
2** Danny Elfman says that, because his social views have since changed, he's not really proud of "Capitalism" any more.
3** He's also gone on record as saying that recording the video for "Weird Science" was quite an ordeal. In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EeFZtXPUCxs an interview]], he pretty much disavows his involvement with it.
4--->'''Interviewer:''' Was it miserable shooting it?\
5'''Danny:''' Yeah, and I deserved it... it's the one video that I did that I had nothing to do with.
6* CreatorBreakdown: In the early '90s, after completing his music for ''WesternAnimation/TheNightmareBeforeChristmas'', Danny Elfman had a nervous breakdown while dealing with the pressures of trying to be a full-time film composer ''and'' the frontman for a rock band simultaneously. The result was a brief falling-out with Creator/TimBurton and the band eventually splitting up when Elfman decided to focus exclusively on film scores.
7* HeAlsoDid: Boingo members Marc Mann and Steve Bartek contributed string and percussion production, respectively, for Music/AvengedSevenfold's SelfTitledAlbum, as exemplified with their work on ''"[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fxpNO-wx3L8 A Little Piece of Heaven]]"''.
8* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Music/DannyElfman's contract on Creator/{{MCA}} was originally written for him as a solo artist, as the label weren't interested in working with the entirety of Oingo Boingo; Elfman however was interested in continuing the band (which is why ''So-Lo'' featured the whole ensemble despite being billed as a solo project) and ultimately persuaded the label to sign the whole group on.
