The Violent Femmes were founded by Brian Ritchie (bassist), and Victor DeLorenzo (percussionist) as a rhythm section, and became a full-fledged band upon the arrival of Gordon Gano (singer/guitarist). In its early days, the band frequently played coffee houses and street corners. They were discovered (and subsequently forgotten) by James Honeyman-Scott (of The Pretenders) August 23, 1981 when the band was busking on a street corner in front of the Oriental Theatre, the Milwaukee venue that The Pretenders would be playing later that night. Chrissie Hynde invited them to play a brief acoustic set after the opening act.[1] The band signed to Slash Records and released a self-titled album that they had recorded in July 1982. The music was an innovative combination of American folk music and indie rock, and commonly referred to as "folk-punk".

Did the Femmes change their image in the 90's. Gano doesn't look like a nerd(no offense, he's awesome) in this video.

I am actually not sure. My friend and I thought that it was the same song, though.

I was under the impression that Wendy's just used a sound-alike, and that the Femmes actually refused to play for them.I may be lying, though.

i used this for a project for English on my favorite song. And when I said masturbation is talked about in the song, the whole class gasped. And I said "Meh. Its a common thing, we all do it.". A girl almost passed out when I said that, meanwhile my buddy is laughing his ass off.
