We didn't have in-ears.
at that point so so was tim burton that approached you about peewee and yeah paul rubens and tim burton paul rubens peewee herman but why you just well that's that's what i asked when i came in for me i said why me i don't get it and tim was like i think you could do a score and i'm like really and um paul was a fan of this
Late 70s, a score with the Mystic Knights, kind of a score that I did for my brother's film, his forbidden zone that he'd done.
And he made a note.
And so when they were talking about composers, Paul said, oh, you know, you should check out this Danny Elfman guy.
And Tim was like, oh, yeah, I go to their shows at the Whiskey.
He's with the Oingo Boingo.
And so they both knew who I was and called me in for a meeting.

And literally when I sat down to write the first note, I was like, wait, wait, it's been five years, six years since I've written a note on paper.
Because, you know, I did all this learning intensive stuff in the Mystic Nights.
Then I went to Oingo Boingo.
