Really,  was is good enough for MST3000?

I'd like to add Opeth's My Arms, Your Hearse, Opeth's Blackwater Park, and Fear Factory's Obsolete in the list of songs/albums that could make good movies.

I have an ideafor "Jesse's Girl" , but it's a little psychotic. :)

"Riders On The Storm" could be good and creepy.

I just remembered, the 70s hit "The Night the Lights Went Out in George" was made into a film.

And I suppose Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band sort of counts, although it's more of a musical.

re.  verminboy -- no,nobody will film joe's garage, though zappa would've loved the idea.
was forbidden zone a danny elfman song before the film or before oingo boingo or did it all happen at once?

Nah, I think all the boingo music was created specifically for the film [seeing as how Danny Elfman's brother directed it], though I've heard they used to do a version of "Minnie the Moocher" at gigs during the early days of their existence.

Forbidden Zone was directed by Dannys brother Richard. He basiclly did it as a favor to him. On a side note the band was known as "The Mystic Knights Of Oingo Boingo" then
