Little Girls (Oingo Boingo song)

 * ... that Oingo Boingo (frontman Danny Elfman pictured) song Little Girls was banned in Canada when it was released because there had been little girls murdered in Toronto? Source: "Our first song 'Little Girls' was banned in Canada when it first came out because at that time there had been a mass murderer up in Toronto that had killed three or four little girls, so you never know."  (Paywalled source)
 * ALT1:... that Oingo Boingo song Little Girls has been said to have "the creepiest music video of all time"?  Source:, in headline
 * Comment: This is my first time venturing out of my comfort zone of Chicago politics. I believe this DYK might also be of interest to User:Beatleswhobeachboys.

Given developments on the article, I don't think it is longer eligible for DYK status and as such would like to withdraw this nomination. John M Wolfson (talk) 19:46, 20 April 2019 (UTC)
