Danny Elfman – Gratitude (US 12″)
Posted by DjPaulT on 31st May 2011
BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1984
“Gratitude” is a Danny Elfman song recorded with his band Oingo Boingo and taken from the album So-Lo. The band chose to record the song as a “backup band” for their longtime frontman primarily to circumvent a dispute with their label. It has also been stated that this was an opportunity for the band to record songs that had been deemed unsuitable for a proper Oingo Boingo album. The song was also featured on the soundtrack to the film Beverly Hills Cop.
