Number 168: Martha & The Muffins - Women Around The World At Work

Having exploded onto the scene in 1980 with "Echo Beach" (which just missed inclusion on this Top 200), Martha & The Muffins were primed to make musical waves. Subsequent single releases off debut LP Metro Music, however, failed to replicate the chart success of their first song. Their second album, 1981's This Is The Ice Age, returned them to prominence, as "Women Around The World At Work" rose inside the Canadian top 30. Martha Johnson, Martha Ladly, and the rest of the crew are at #168 on my list with their best song.

  1. Pretty good song ... but had to avert my eyes from the pic of the band ... the dudes look like deformed extras from the cast of The Toxic Avenger
