Good one Kira!

Cool song, cool video, uber cool 80s New Wave girly !

I used to have a PGW reissue version of that Sea Green Teardrop. Cool guitar.

That's Patty Donahue on lead vocals.

Their albums never made it to CD but their work is available on a CD compilation album.

Here's their Wiki page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Waitresses

Thanks Kira,

I really like this band. Got to see them in a small club back in the day (early '80's). Lot's of fun!

[kiramdear]

I gotta hand it to the New Wave bands for one thing - they had the self-irony thing down pretty well.

I haven't heard that one in a while, never seen the video. Fun!

Cute.

Chris Butler is an old friend of mine! He let me use an AMAZING Vox AC30 on a recording session once in New Jersey.

I remember this song well. Very clever number.

Do you know the story about the Baby Blue Vox Teardrop in that video?

[collin]

good call Mitch!

I knew I had read/listed to that story before, but didn't even think of it when the thread was posted. Nice story....glad he got it back.

[kiramdear]

Great story, Mitch, thanks for the hookup.

Sadly, Patty Donahue passed away in 1996.

ah, don't forget the amazing drummer here: Billy Ficca. Here he is driving his own chariot.

Just in:

Waitresses "I Know What Boys Like" is the credit song on the soundtrack of the new Diablo Cody film, "Jennifer's Body". The movie looks like a hilarious spoof of the gruesome/high school slasher genre...
