So-Lo is a Danny Elfman album recorded with Oingo Boingo. The band chose to record the album as a backup band for their longtime frontman to circumvent a dispute with their label. There are two versions of the album; the second version replaces the original version of "Gratitude" with the version from the Beverly Hills Cop soundtrack.
