Number 141: The Waitresses - No Guilt
Patty Donahue and Chris Butler formed the Waitresses in 1977 as an experimental side-project. But in 1981 they actually received a record deal, and in January 1982 they released their debut LP, Wasn't Tomorrow Wonderful. Their biggest hit from the album was "I Know What Boys Like", and the theme song from TV show Square Pegs got them the most mainstream attention. Their best song, however, is "No Guilt", with humorous lyrics glossing over the dark, depressing aftermath of a bad breakup. Personally, I think the track is pure genius. "No Guilt" is song #141 on this list.
The Waitresses ... definitely an acquired taste- to me it's like listening to Fran Drescher rap
