A&P has provided me
with the world’s smallest turkey.
Didn’t really get into their other stuff but I do play this song many times each Christmas season.
Poor Patty the lead singer. Smoked herself to death at age 40, 24 years ago.
Best sax? Oh, my, no.
Meet Candy Dulfer.

And if you really like that, here’s a concert where everyone in the band gets to go to town, including the most amazing trumpeter:

When I worked retail back in the mid-90’s this song was in the Christmas rotation, never knew who sang it. Finally was able to figure it out a few years back. This song, “The Christmas SoOng by Nat King Cole, and “O Holy Night” are always on my Christmas playlist.
Bass player is now with the B52’s as I recall.
Maybe a 3-hit wonder. They did the theme song for a kids tv show called “Square Pegs.”
But my favorite song of theirs was “No Guilt.” Favorite lyric: “I told them I don’t even KNOW anybody in Toronto.”
I had only known their first small hit “I Know What Boys Like”, which was in heavy rotation on MTV in those days.
Really cute song. I never appreciated it until I listened to all the lyrics.
The singer is kinda “Blondie-esque” in sound and style.

Another good one is Christmas at Kmart by Root boy slim.

Two or three hit wonder? Maybe in the pop-music genre; most of their stuff is more vulgar than Zappa, so it’s not like it would get any airplay.
