Yes, my favorite country song. It is by a man named Michael Stanton. It is a cover of the song &#8220;Skin&#8221; by Oingo Boingo. This song is deeply strange (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.musicsonglyrics.com\/O\/oingoboingolyrics\/oingoboingoskinlyrics.htm\">lyrics<\/a>), and sounds especially weird sung by a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.answers.com\/topic\/classic-country-ballads\">neo-tradionalist<\/a> Country singer. I would love to hear more country songs like this.<\/p>\n<p>I am sharing this with you because you would never come across this song. It is the final track at the end of Danny Elfman&#8217;s score to the Clive Barker film, <em>Nightbreed<\/em> (1990). The song can be heard in the film playing on the radio when Sheryl Ann is waiting in the car outside Midian, just before the psychiatrist arrives. The song was released on the film&#8217;s cassette soundtrack. I&#8217;m thinking that Danny Elfman (formerly of Oingo Boingo) had wanted &#8220;Skin&#8221; covered by a country artist for years, but he had to wait through ten years of making soundtracks for Tim Burton films before one came along where he could sneak the cover of &#8220;Skin&#8221; into the budget.<\/p>\n<p>Please take a listen. Here is &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20060829024354\/http:\/\/phobos.serve.com:80\/simpletone\/archives\/Nightbreed%20-%2022%20-%20Michael%20Stanton%20-%20Country%20Skin.mp3\">Country Skin<\/a>&#8221; by Michael Stanton.
