Which song playing on Sarah Silverman Program episode Mongolian Beef party scene he says something about party?

That's not the real band. If you IMDB the episode http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1250004/fullcredits#cast I lists the members of the bands, and they are actors. Theyre listed under Ouncy Bouncy i think it was...which i think was a takeoff of Oing Boingo who played in a similar movie wscene to that...i cant remember which movie it was. That's how i found thi question and why i was looking. The band looked and sounded a bit like them....but different. I wonder if that song is by the real Oingo Boingo..? They were a rela band....id check that if i were you. If not, then that song was written by the show writers and recorded by their sound people and then lip synched by the actors for sure. Now im curious what that movie Oingo Boingo played in. I think it was Old School or something like that, with Rodney Dnagerfeild. Would also make sense her making a refrernce to one of his movies... Rodney Dangerfield Movie is Back to School "Bachelor Party" performed by Ouncy Bouncy (an Oingo Boingo tribute band)
