Oingo Boingo ... from 1 to 115

It can get real boring while on some conference calls. While I was on a call yesterday, I decided to rank every Boingo song from top to bottom.

So, I took the list of songs from Dan's Boingo page and put it into Excel. I ranked each song fom 1 to 5. After that I ranked all the 5's from 1 to 5 and so on. I went through 4 generations of rankings to make the following list. I present to you My personal Oingo Boingo List from best song to "worst" song (if such a thing exists).
