... 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."

- ALT1:... that Oingo Boingo song Little Girls has been said to have "the creepiest music video of all time"? Source: [2], 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.
