If you existed anywhere near L.A. in the 80′s, and listented to K-ROQ any time at all in the month of December, then you know what I’m talking about.  It’s The Waitresses’ holiday masterpiece, “Christmas Wrapping:”

This isn’t just bubblegum pop: The Spice Girls covered it in 1998, and the character of Brittany sang it on an episode of “Glee” this year.

So…um…uh…yeah, maybe it is bubblegum pop, but it’s damn fine bubblegum pop.

The Waitresses, best known for another K-ROQ classic, “I Know What Boys Like,” hailed from Akron, Ohio, along with sui generis new wave oddballs Devo (must be something in the water).

Anyway, enjoy something that’s not this:

Merry Christmas!
