On this day, January 11, 1982, The Waitresses released their debut album, Wasn’t Tomorrow Wonderful?. This new wave masterpiece showcased the band’s quirky lyrics, infectious melodies, and unique blend of humor and social commentary.

The album, featuring standout tracks like I Know What Boys Like and No Guilt, peaked at #41 on the Billboard 200, solidifying The Waitresses as a standout act in the early 80s new wave scene. With Patty Donahue’s sardonic vocals and Chris Butler’s clever songwriting, the album captured the spirit of the era while offering a fresh, satirical take on relationships and modern life.

Fun Fact: The Waitresses are also known for their iconic holiday track Christmas Wrapping, but Wasn’t Tomorrow Wonderful? remains their most celebrated full-length release.
