Musicians

The Resume

    (1977-1983)
    Formed in Akron, Ohio
    1982 line-up:
    Chris Butler - guitar
    Patty Donahue - lead vocals
    Tracy Wormworth - bass
    Billy Ficca - drums
    Dan Klayman - keyboards
    Mars Williams - sax
    Recorded 'I Know What Boys Like' and 'Christmas Wrapping'
    Performed the theme for the CBS TV series 'Square Pegs' (1982-83)
    Donahue died of lung cancer at age 40 (December 9, 1996)

Why they might be annoying:

    Butler recorded a early version of 'I Know What Boys Like' in 1977, playing all instruments and securing Donahue to sing vocals.
    When a record company was interested in signing the band, Butler lied and said the band was back in Ohio, when in fact he had no band and needed to form one quickly.
    They aren't even a one hit wonder as 'I Know What Boys Like' only reached #62 on Billboard's Top 100 Singles chart in 1982.
    They released two studio albums before tensions caused them to implode and cease to exist in 1983.

Why they might not be annoying:

    They chose the band name from a favorite T-shirt of Butler's best friend.
    'I Know What Boys Like' was a Top 10 hit in Australia.
    'I Know What Boys Like' is a favorite on '80s new wave compilation releases and 'Christmas Wrapping' has been used on many Christmas rock albums.
    The King Biscuit Flower Hour released a live album by them in 1997 to critical and moderate commercial success.
