Christmas Wrap to The Waitresses on My 2015 Christmas Countdown

Still wrapping your gifts? Do it to this great '80s song from The Waitresses!

My Countdown certainly would not feel complete without this.

I saw The Waitresses in the 1980s at Danceteria (one of my favorite clubs ever) where they performed their hit, "I Know What Boys Like."

But here they are with this fantastically clever Christmas song. Enjoy, and Merry Christmas! Now wrap those presents!

My Christmas Countdown 2012: Xmas Wrapping

Hark, the herald Waitresses sing! It's Christmas on Dj Buddy Beaverhausen's Countdown 2012!

The Waitresses, "Christmas Wrapping"

The Waitresses were an experimental new wave band from Akron, Ohio. Their best remembered hit may very well be "I Know What Boys Like," which did not chart at the time, oddly, as it was widely played at clubs, on radio and jukeboxes in 1982. The band was fronted by singer Patty Donahue who, tragically, died of lung cancer at the age of 40.

"Christmas Wrapping" has become a phenomenally successful holiday cult hit over the years. It went to #45 in the United Kingdom in '82. And here it is for you to enjoy, hopefully, as our Christmas countdown continues. (Only 21 more shopping days!)
