  • From my heart and from my hand
    Why don't people understand
    My intentions?
    Weird, weird, ooh

    Weird science
    Plastic tubes and pots and pans
    Bits and pieces and
    The magic from my hand
    We're makin'
    Weird science, ooh
    Things I've never seen before
    Behind bolted doors
    Talent and imagination
    Weird science
    Not what teacher said to do
    Makin' dreams come true
    Living tissue, warm flesh
    Weird science, ooh
    Plastic tubes and pots and pans
    Bits and pieces and
    Bits and pieces and

    (Bits of) my creation, is it real?
    It's my creation, ooh, my creation
    It's my creation

    Weird science
    Weird, ooh

    Weird science, ooh
    Magic and technology
    Voodoo dolls and chants
    Electricity, we're makin'
    Weird science
    Fantasy and microchips
    Shootin' from the hip
    Something different, we're makin'
    Weird science, ooh
    Pictures from a magazine
    Diagrams and charts
    Mending broken hearts, and makin'
    Weird science
    Something like a recipe
    Bits and pieces and
    Bits and pieces and

    (Bits of) my creation, is it real?
    It's my creation, I do not know
    No hesitation, no heart of gold
    Just flesh and blood, I do not know
    I do not know

    From my heart and from my hand
    Why don't people understand
    My intentions?

    Ooh, weird science
    Magic and technology
    Voodoo dolls and chants
    Weird science
    Things I've never seen before
    Behind bolted doors
    Weird science
    Not what teachers said to do
    Bits and pieces and
    Bits and pieces and

    (Bits of) my creation, is it real?
    It's my creation, I do not know
    No hesitation, no heart of gold
    Just flesh and blood, I do not know
    It's my creation
    It's my creation, ooh
    My creation, ooh
    My creation, it's my creation

    From my heart and from my hand
    Why don't people understand
    My intentions?
    Ooh, weird

    Ooh, weird science, ooh
    Weird
    Weird science
    Weird science, ooh
    Ooh, whoa, whoa, whoa
    Bits and pieces
    Bits and pieces, bits and pieces
    Ooh, weird science

    Bits and pieces and
    Weird
    Ooh, whoa, whoa, whoa
    Ooh, weird science
    And
    Bits and

    Bits and pieces
    Bits and pieces
    Bits and

    Weird science
    Bits and pieces

    My creation, is it real?
    It's my creation, I do not know
    Ooh, my creation, is it real? (No hesitation)
    Just flesh and blood, just flesh and blood (ooh, my creation, it's my creation)
    Just flesh and blood

    Weird science, weird science
    Weird science, weird science
    Weird science, weird science (alive)
    And bits and pieces, ooh, bits and pieces and
    Bits and pieces, ooh, bits and pieces and
    Bits and pieces, ooh, bits and pieces and
    Bits and pieces, ooh, bits and pieces and (Weird science)
    Bits and pieces, ooh, bits and pieces and ("He's alive, alive")
    Bits and pieces, ooh, bits and pieces and ("He's alive, alive")

  • Tim from Northfield, MnThis song was also used for the Weird Science Television Series. Namely for the opening.
  • Wilson from Tulsa, OkActually the band started off as The Mystic Knights of the Oingo Boingo, musical theater group. Danny took over in 1976 when Richard began pursuing a film career. In 1979, Danny changed the format of the band ans shortened the name to Oingo Boingo. If you can find some of music of The Mystic Knights of the Oingo Boingo, it is certainly worth a listen.
  • Ograstamon from Newkirk, OkI wouldn't put this song on my Top 10 by Boingo but as they only have three tracks on this site I must give it a high rating to correct this oversite.
  • Madison from Norway, MeDanny Elfman is an incredible movie soundtrack writer. I don't love the stuff he did with Oingo Boingo but I really like Weird Science. I love all the little percussion noises in the background.
  • Max from Laconia, NhWhy the hell am I the only one writing something for this awsome song? Does no one ever listen to great stuff like this anymore? Idiots!!! Danny also did the singing voice of Jack Skelington on the Nightmare Before Christmas.
