ROCK BAND SAYS: “LET LENNY RULE!”
For at least a year now, Lenny Kravitz' "Are You Gonna Go My Way" has turned up on many peoples' lists of "Songs That Really Ought to Be In Rock Band." It's got a killer guitar lick, a great vocal part, and is full of attitude and swagger: You just can't play this one without getting a little cocky (heck, Tom Jones covered it!) Many of you have already rehearsed your moves for this classic tune, now go wild.
One of his tunes wasn't enough, so we stay in the Kravitz universe with three more tracks, all taken from his 1987 debut Let Love Rule. An immediate hit, the album established Kravitz as a man who could play anything, sound like anybody, and do it all without messing up his dreadlocks. "Mr. Cab Driver" finds him in funky mode, with some neat synthesizer parts (mapped of course to guitar) and hip hop-infused rhythms. "Freedom Train" is the first of his guitar-slinging rockers; a precursor to "Are You Gonna Go My Way." Finally, "Let Love Rule" is the soaring anthem to end all soaring anthems. We didn't plan this to be an inaugural week tie-in-- but if it works, it works.
Wrapping up this week's offerings are a pair of in-house items, both at budget prices. Honest Bob & the Factory-to-Dealer Incentives were a sleeper hit on Rock Band I and we proudly present "Entangled" for those who requested another hit of their jagged brand of rock. Last but loudest, Megasus' self-titled track is a monster of distortion and aggression, with local legend Jason Kendall (ex-Amazing Crowns) doing the fearsome vocals. Jump in and get dirty!

I feel these would work well as an Oingo Boingo Pack, as they are the most playable with the
instruments already available (although an Oingo Boingo-specific- game with the proper
peripherals, such as trumpets, xylophones, accordians, and a red wig would be the best
choice and also very profitable as the Oingo Boingo fan market is not yet tapped by any
game!) and also will be fun for non-Oingo Boingo fans! It may convert them so they realize
that Oingo Boingo is the best band to have ever existed, and the best band that ever will
exist.
Thank you for reading this Oingo Boingo plea for Oingo Boingo in Rock Band/Rock Band 2.
Sincerely, TaterMySalad (Xbox Live GamerTag)

Now I must add that I would NOT recommend Little Girls by Oingo Boingo from the album Only A
Lad by Oingo Boingo. MANY PEOPLE WOULD NOT UNDERSTAND THE MESSAGE OF THE SONG! They would
brand you and Oingo Boingo as pedophiles and this is simply not the case! Now, let's not
fool ourselves, the core audience of Rock Band/Rock Band 2 is simply not intelligent enough
to understand the true meaning behind Oingo Boingo's lyrics, and the subtle irony in Best
Vocalist Ever According To Me, Singer of Oingo Boingo Danny Elfman's voice. Because of this,
I feel it is best to leave this Oingo Boingo song out of the Oingo Boingo Pack.

Stay by Oingo Boingo from the album Dead Man's Party by Oingo Boingo: This Oingo Boingo song
has a neato keen guitar riff that goes "dee-doo-dow-do- -deedly-dow",- and very good vocals
from Best Vocalist Ever According To Me, Singer of Oingo Boingo Danny Elfman. Note that you
must make the difficulty on the vocal track of this Oingo Boingo song very high to simulate
the greatness of Best Vocalist Ever According To Me, Singer of Oingo Boingo Danny Elfman.
Dead Man's Party by Oingo Boingo from the album Dead Man's Party by Oingo Boingo: This song
(also by Oingo Boingo) might be hard to implement into Rock Band/Rock Band 2 because you
have NOT YET created a plastic trombone peripheral. However, I'm sure this is just around
the bend for the fine makers of Rock Band/Rock Band 2. I look forward to the RedOctane Oingo
Boingo Trombone Controller For Use With Rock Band/Rock Band 2.

Dear Mister or Missus DLC Person:
I am writing to you fine fellows at Harmonix to humbly request Oingo Boingo for DLC in Rock
Band/Rock Band 2. I know this is possible, as there is DLC from other bands from each label
Oingo Boingo have been affiliated with. If I may suggest the best Oingo Boingo songs from
each Oingo Boingo album so you may put Oingo Boingo in Rock Band/Rock Band 2, I shall list
said Oingo Boingo songs from said Oingo Boingo albums below.
Only A Lad By Oingo Boingo from the album Only A Lad by Oingo Boingo: This song by Oingo
Boingo was also in Guitar Hero Rocks the 80's, which is the best music game due to its
inclusion of Oingo Boingo. Thus, I know you guys can do it! It's also well-suited to Rock
Band due to the varied instruments! This is probably the most likely Oingo Boingo song for
an Oingo Boingo pack for Rock Band/Rock Band 2.

You know, I am new to the RockBand Universe but the DLC just keeps getting better. Lenny Kravitz is a great addition to the dlc listings. All we need now is som Prince DLC & I personally will be content.

Before this gets all mucked up with noobs yelling about Wii and loser whining about THEIR bands, I'd like to (unintentionall- y)- kiss ass and say thanks guys for putting out more DLC yet again, and keeping us all waiting with bated musical breath--even if I don't buy-in EVERYtime, it's nice to know there's developers out there that want to continually show support for their customers...
