Chris Butler--formerly of Akron art-rocker Tin Huey, later in the Guinness Book of World Records for writing the world's longest pop song, \"The Devil Glitch\"--wrote the sharpest, funniest, most surprisingly thoughtful pop songs of the American new wave.\u003cbr\u003eThe Waitresses, featuring bassist Tracy Wormworth, Television drummer Billy Ficca, and art-prankster saxophonist Mars Williams, were the tightest band on their scene. 1982's WASN'T TOMORROW WONDERFUL? was a near-perfect debut album. Only half of it appears on BEST OF THE WAITRESSES, which is a shame considering how many more songs could have fit on this 15-track CD. The other nine tracks hit the high points from the EP I COULD RULE THE WORLD and the uneven followup BRUISEOLOGY, a pieced-together album from the wake of the band's breakup.","brand":"MovieMars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46920158576927,"sku":"042284724920","price":21.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/7833\/0399\/files\/d38d7696aeba2d915d2245c7a3f4cbee.jpg?v=1777836090","url":"https:\/\/www.moviemars.com\/products\/best-of-the-waitresses","provider":"MovieMars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
