Songs of Our Youth (8 of 12)_ "I Know What Boys Like" by The Waitresses




I actually found the lp which featured this song by the punk band The Waitresses at the Big Flea Market in Greensboro, NC, for a mere two bucks!

The band from Akron, Ohio, is also known for their song "Christmas Wrapping," which is frequently played on radio stations around Christmas time.

Sadly, the Waitresses' lead singer Patty Donahue tried at age 40 from lung cancer in 1996. The band also performed the title song for the cult tv sitcome "Square Pegs," which ran in the early 1980s and featured a very young Sarah Jessica Parker.

As for Uma Thurman, well---yes, I am definitely an admirer of her's!
