Nothing to Fear is the second album by Southern California New Wave band Oingo Boingo, released in 1982 on A&M Records. First pressings of this album feature a slightly extended version of "Private Life," with a longer intro, the difference between the extended version and the version that exists on later copies is very small, repeating the chorus one more time, the bridge is also extended.
The song "Wild Sex (In the Working Class)" was featured in the John Hughes film Sixteen Candles.
"Running on a Treadmill" contains music borrowed from "Animal Day" by Wall of Voodoo
