I just raked up this one from the old memory garden.

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!

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?

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.

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...
