OH GOODNESS!| FIRST TIME HEARING The Waitresses - Christmas Wrapping REACTION

[@brianmcmaster5112]

Amber knows what's good and man, as a 51 year old Gen Xer that remembers the 80's fondly, we were straight spoiled with new Christmas songs and they were all good.

[@dalenickey4717]

Thanks for Christmas by XTC?

[@grindhouseglitch]

51 year old GenXer here; can confirm!

[@jacqueline4514]

As another 80s kid I agree and thank you to whoever suggested this.

This is a Hallmark Christmas movie in a song. Fluffy, playful and brings a smile to all but the Grinchiest...lol

RIP Patty Donahue. She was a chain smoker. Died of lung cancer at age 40, Saw The Waitresses at Toads Place in New Haven, CT.

[@vielka1838]

Totalling on Team Amber over here! This has been one of my favorite Christmas songs since the 80s 😊 Happy Christmas!!

[@xzonia1]

Jay is just like my brothers on this song! Love him, but I'm team Amber too! :D

[@JohnC-h5d]

Same!! The Waitress's were a new wave group of the 80's. What I love about this is its sheer DIFFERENCE!! The writer did it in apparently something like 15 minutes or something. The radio doesn't do this one enough each Christmas. Happy Christmas!!

[@thomaswalker1539]

It was actually done in three days to be included in a Christmas album with other artists required by their label. It was the only hit song from it.

[@Lesercito_Fantasma]

This song was a huge hit! One of the 80's biggest Christmas songs. Kind of has that Go-Go's, valley girl vibe. Love it.

[@michaelmacdermott6340]

Or reminiscent of Debbie Harry from Blondie! 🙌🏻

[@michaelg2282]

Mixed with Chic’s “Good Times”

[@crafty1096]

This is literally one of the top 5 biggest Christmas Songs of the last 50 years. Its an original work not someone’s version. It’s been covered by how many famous artists? Rob doesn’t like the song . That’s fine. The first through 5 times he said that. Fine. What’s not fine is him throwing temper tantrums the whole song. It’s not my business how that disrespected her, but it was disrespectful. This is the most I’ve called him out. The only other time was the B-52’s. It was the other time he repeatedly mocked the song, but I like him but he should be ashamed of his behavior. Repeatedly rolling his eyes and giving exaggerated gestures. He should do a short video and apologize for his behavior.

[@deadpan666true]

@@crafty1096 He’s allowed to not like the song…he wasn’t really throwing temper tantrums. I’d rather he was honest and not just saying every song is awesome in case he offends someone, which, clearly given your response, he has…

Valley girls , yes. But the Go-Go's are on a WHOLE other UPPER level.

LMAO, because the look on Jr's face reminds me of every guy I knew in the 80s when we played anything by The Waitresses🤣

Ikr? LOL

[@thefoss5387]

This is what you get when a Punk/New Wave label asks their artists to do a Christmas album. This may be one of the only tunes from ZE Records album A Christmas Record that gets replayed often. The lead singer is Patty Donahue, the group only had one other song that bounced around the lower reaches of the charts, I Know What Boys Like. A Classic American New Wave song where Patty's flat affect delivery makes the song memorable.

[@TheRichardsArt]

Yup

[@craigplatel813]

This wasn't a song done for the label doing a Christmas album.

[@melissaw704]

And ‘Square Pegs’. Classic Valley Girl.

[@theConquerersMama]

Exactly. I feel like half the joy of the song is being a Waitresses fan already.

[@bobthebear1246]

It's so sad that Patty died of lung cancer in 1986 at the much too young age of 40. 😢

[@annettegreen6689]

You tell him Amber! "Don't be a scrooge J " 🤣

[@rachelharrison7961]

I can’t believe you all got through the whole song without noticing that the title is a pun-Christmas “(w)rapping”!

[@flibber123]

This is a Christmas song, it's supposed to be upbeat and happy. It even tells a story and has a happy ending. What more can anyone want?

[@pebblehilllane]

The song was cobbled together from bits and pieces of ideas for different songs by a guy that literally hated Christmas. The Waitresses were releasing "I Know What Boys Like" as a single but the record label said they needed a side B. He threw together the various bits and pieces, wrote they lyrics, literally finishing them while on the way to the studio to record the song and it became an iconic Christmas classic from the 80's. The guy was Chris Butler. He went to Kent St. University and was an eye-witness to shooting and lost a close friend named Jeffery Miller. He the was in a band with Chrissie Hynde, later a member of the Pretenders, and a guy that later became a member of Devo, who's name I cannot remember at the moment. The Lead singer for The Waitresses happened as a fluke. Chris Butler was playing somewhere and had the song "I Know What Boys Like" and asked if there was a girl in the crowd that could sing and wanted to and Patty Donahue got up and sang and ended up the lead singer for the band. Christ Butler never wanted to make the song "Christmas Wrapping" or any other Christmas song. He was a bit of a Scrooge, but he had to and history was made.

[@keithroberts4952]

Amber, you've got great taste!! This song has such a party vibe. The deadpan vocal delivery next to the funky bass playing is just perfect! Punk rock vocals next to a Wham type club tropicana vibe!

[@ZavaXavier]

​@Onthebrink5 Agree we need people who have the same enjoyment like us Gen Xers when it comes to music of the past.

[@ZavaXavier]

@Onthebrink5 I disagree I seen on some of these music reaction channels they definitely acting like snobs they criticize the music and video.

[@ZavaXavier]

@Onthebrink5 You just proved my point you don't know how to research anything I told you.

[@mikewingate284]

This review made me laugh so hard. Seeing J. suffering through it while Amber was bopping along and smiling ear-to-ear was so funny to me. Thanks guys!

[@pattyduke3079]

This has to be classic reaction. Amber bopping to the music and Jay looking put out.

[@xzonia1]

Too adorable! :D

[@rbash]

I think Jay took the "[w]rapping" part of "Christmas Wrapping" a little too much to heart. No, the Waitresses weren't pretending to be Run DMC! (If they were, then yeah, that would be pretty embarrassing.) The title was just a cute, ironic play on words and a marketing gimmick, nothing more. But it's true: it did make for a classic RSR moment!

[@jettcarlburg356]

This song tells a story like a 5 minute Hallmark Christmas movie. The singer is Patty Donohue (RIP), the bassist is session musician extraordinaire Tracy Wormworth and the bangin' sax is Mars Williams who wrote it as well. You should also check out I Know What Boys Like, Square Pegs and No Guilt.

[@toddreese573]

Amber seems to understand the subtlety of this classic holiday tale from the early M-TV days. Christmas Wrapping is for those who enjoy modern art.

[@zippymacadoo6336]

Like 80's Holiday songs weren't going to be unusual? Lol this is a fave simply from the memories it brings. Thanks!

[@bobashley7533]

This is not KidsBop… if you listen closely, she’s opting out…”Christmas by myself this year!” Also, you don’t get the play on words here… this is 1980’s Rap… hence the name Christmas Wrapping

My niece works at Macy's and I played like the first three seconds of the song to see if she knew it and she was like, "oh my God, shut the hell up, they play this song constantly in our store". 😆

[@Johnny_Socko]

It's funny, I've always hated that Christmas is about the same 5 or 10 songs played over and over, and I always love it when a new song manages to break through. And then there are other people who only ever want to hear those 5 or 10 songs. Personally I think Gen X came correct with this one.

That's Patty Donahue on vocals, the band are from Akron, Ohio. The Waitresses were originally an art project, the songs and lyrics were written by the guitarist Chris Butler. Donahue also worked with Alice Cooper on one song. She's known for setting the style for female vocals of the New Wave period of that era. Eventually she became an A&R Rep at MCA Records until she died of lung cancer in 1996.
