Oingo Boingo was formed by Richard Elfman to provide music for a film he was working on. The group ended up writing music for their own releases as well as other movies, including Back To School. This was written for the John Hughes movie Weird Science, about two kids who find a way to create a beautiful woman through science. The band had to rush this out and didn't like the song, but it became well known due to its use in the movie, and was included on their album Dead Man's Party.
Danny Elfman (Richard's brother), was lead singer of the group. He went on to write theme music for many popular movies and TV shows, including The Simpsons, Beetlejuice, Batman and Edward Scissorhands.
The Weird Science movie was turned into a TV series in 1994 starring Vanessa Angel as the female creation. The series ran for five seasons, and used this song as its theme.
