That's what so special about the Waitresses -- all of their songs are so good. This is one of my top 5 favorite bands. I rank them up there with the Suburban Lawns, Plasmatics, B-52's, Lene Lovich and Nina Hagen. Sometimes I rank them as my all time fave band, but they rotate with The Plasmatics cuz Wendy O. was my hero. God the Waitresses were so AWESOME!!! I've loved them since the beginning -- when the hit the scene they had such an innovative sound, lyrics, and vocal styling! It held up!

There's another "skip" at 5:14. I have this cassette, and that's how it sounds on tape as well. I can't believe it's been 26 years since I bought this and "I Could Rule The World, If I Could Only Get The Parts".

saw them quite a few times in NYC back in the day, and still have their vinyl and CD. one of my faves! there's a live video on a HURRAH club dvd of "I Kow What Boys Like." You can actually get it through Amazon. It's kinda crumby but has lots of live stuff from that era. I met Chris Butler at The Bottom Line when Tin Huey (his original band) opened for Television (TV's last live gigs until the 90s rebirth). We could rule the world if we could only get the parts....

Not a skip. Still not sure if it's a bad edit on the master, or if it was played that way. Never got to see them play live.. :(

"..these are coffee shakes! That's all!..."Terribly under-rated band.And I'm old enough to remember them the first time around.

Awesome tune by an awesome New Wave band. Last summer, I met the bassist Tracy Wormworth, and told her how incredible this album was.

One of the few reasons I am glad to be the age I am is to have been there for KROQ (fm rock of the 80s!)back when bands like The Waitresses and Boingo were fresh and cutting edge.Thank you for posting this.

Is there a skip at 1:15?

Seriously, did the Waitresses ever play a bad song? |
