The song It Only Makes Me Laugh from Danny's CD So-Lo. 80's music. (Oingo Boingo.)

Lyrics:

I dont know why I feel this way

I dont know if its right or wrong to laugh at misfortune

Darkness can never last too long

Every time I think Im falling

And theres nobody around to hold me up

And it seems like the world has come to an end

I look for miles but not a face is friendly

Then suddenly a hole opens up in the ground

The bottom of the hole is a raging fire

I try to jump over but theres no way

The next thing I know, Im going down

Does it hurt?

Oh, it really doesnt matter

Does it burn?

Oh, I dont feel a thing

Does it sting?

Oh, yeah, it really doesnt matter

Does it hurt?

Oh, I dont give a damn

When I find myself falling and I hit the bottom

It only makes me laugh

It only makes me laugh

When I go down the hole and I hit the bottom

The last time that I fell in love

The love was milk and honey but the milk turned sour

The woman became a monster

And everyone I knew had become a stranger

And the room went black and my luck was spent

The floor opened up, down I went

Does it hurt?

Oh, it really doesnt matter

Does it burn?

Oh, I dont feel a thing

Does it sting?

Oh, yeah, it really doesnt matter

Does it hurt?

Oh, I dont give a damn

When I find myself falling and I hit the bottom

It only makes me laugh

It only makes me laugh

When I go down the hole and I hit the bottom

It only makes me laugh

It only makes me laugh

It only makes me laugh

Coming right back

Coming right back

cause you cant keep me down

Cant keep me down

Oh, in the ground

Does it hurt?

Oh, it really doesnt matter

Does it burn?

Oh, I dont feel a thing

I dont mind just a little pain

Ooh, oh yeah

Whoa...

Remembering when I was a young man

How everything seemed to turn against me

I didnt know a soul, it was an alien place

The sun was covered by a dark cloud

And though I tried, I couldnt find a way to escape

The only way to go was straight down

Does it hurt?

Oh, it really doesnt matter

Does it burn?

Oh, I dont feel a thing

Does it sting?

Oh, yeah, it really doesnt matter

Does it hurt?

Oh, I dont give a damn

When I find myself falling and I hit the bottom

It only makes me laugh

It only makes me laugh

When I go down the hole and I hit the bottom

It only makes me laugh

I dont know why I feel this way

I dont know if its right or wrong to laugh at misfortune

Darkness can never last too long...

When you laugh in its face

When you laugh in its face

I dont know why I feel this way

I dont know if its right or wrong to laugh at misfortune

Darkness can never last too long...

This song is not about laughing at people that dislike you. This song is about exploring and lightly questioning the singers apparent apathy and lack of serious regard to all of lifes ailments. He should be hopeless and depressed because of his troubles, but he isn't, and the only reaction he feels to give is a negligent laugh and smile.

Even on a lazy Sunday when I'm zoned out and not particularly troubled the putative solo album from Danny Elfman--on which the whole band plays but the label couldn't touch--makes me smile and feel better. *It Only Makes Me Laugh* plays a big part in that. While there are a number of things about which this response might not be your best bet in general, Mr. Elfman outlines a pretty good attitude to take toward life. Yeah, bad crap happens, some of it awful. You can't let it tear you down, and when it does you've gotta bounce back out of that hole...dancing. #boingo #80smusic #ska #horns #TheNPJ

¿Duele? ♫Oh, de verdad no importa ♪¿Quema? ♫Oh, no siento nada ♪¿Escoce? ♫Oh, sí, de verdad no importa ♪¿Duele? ♫Oh, me importa un carajo ♪Cuando me encuentro cayendo y golpeo el fondo ♫sólo me hace reír ♪
