"We Close Our Eyes" by Oingo Boingo
Led by Danny Elfman, Oingo Boingo was one of many 80s new wave bands. Their biggest hit was the title track from the movie Weird Science, which landed at #45 in 1985. The band managed one other chart appearance the following year when "Just Another Day" stalled at #85. The band tried to keep it going in the 90s, even shortening their name to Boingo, but broke up by 1995. Danny Elfman went on to larger fame scoring music for many hit movies and TV shows, including the theme for The Simpsons.
