I Can't Pretend - One of my absolute favourite lost Boingo songs, something unexplainable about this demo tape. The tune was written for Good For Your Soul but disappeared and never heard anywhere else.

You thought you were my best friend, but I don't wonder why I never felt too comfortable around you, but I lied There was something about the way you touched me late at night It made me want to forget the fact that something wasn't right But I just don't know what's happening to me anymore And I feel like bad people play some part I can't pretend anymore I'm just beside myself I'd like to talk to you, I'd like to touch your mind I'd like to run my fingers over your design Sometimes I even like the lying and the pain And all the agony that goes with this old game But when you say you love me, something doesn't jive And I feel like bad people play some part I can't pretend anymore I'm just beside myself

So who has any of these tapes? Danny? Former label people? These are so obviously deserving of a remaster and re-release. If any Boingo alum happen to read this - please!

As far as we know Danny has some on tape but not all of them. He says he dislikes his Boingo days so I doubt he'll ever release or give them to someone for remastering.

I can agree with this.. there are literally only two bad songs "Bachelor Party" And "Something Isn't Right" I'll admit that Something Isn't Right definitely goes harder than Bachelor Party though

@@elfmanenthusiastI’m not sure if this is true. I think Tim and Danny met before Pee Wee’s Big Adventure for the first time. Since the movie came out in 1985, I would assume they met around 1984. If they did meet in 1983, I doubt Elfman would write such a negative song about him that early into their friendship

i cannot believe this was voted worst song from GFYS on an oingo boingo discord server i joined (and left) 😭this song is SO good. also today i learned the album art for GFYS was illustrated by Lane Smith, which didn't ring any bells, so I looked him up and learned he illustrated "The True Story of the 3 Little Pigs!" i was like WHHAATTT? we read that in elementary!
