they opened for Leon Redbone at the Maple St Bar in New Orleans, uptown in 1977 or '78. Unforgettable. So glad to remember them again. Love to sing along with them!
Does anyone else remember when they appeared on Tiny Toon Adventures as The "Roaches" They voiced singing roaches and sang a shorter version of this song. It was great!
Much love to you, Maggie. Rest in peace. You were always my favorite ~ what a fantastic songwriter. And when I met you a decade ago, I was a bit shy. But you were so sweet and kind. Thank you for everything.
I never knew they were an actual group! I thought Tiny Toons made them up! I was so mad that they didnt get more episodes. Now I see why! They had whole actual careers!!
Um, hi. Where in the universe have I been. Never heard of these wonderful singers until right now, December 19, 2013. A musician friend sent them my way. Where, oh where have I been?
09selah I first discovered them in the 80's as guest vocalist on an album by classical composer Philip Glass on the title track of his album Songs From Liquid Days. Check that song out. Decades laters, I am far far more a fan of the Roches and of Philip Glass.
maybe you were on the train wishing you could have a party, or cleaning behind Mr Sellack's stove, Or it was quitting time, or chasing a very big nuthin!
I seem to remember one of their best songs is The Married Men, but it's not on UA-cam. It was turned into a hit by Phoebe Snow but the original Roches version was very beautiful and haunting. Wish I could hear it again.
i have had their record since the early eighties and later it was out on CD so you can hear so many good songs. The married man was special but they are incredibly talented songwriters. So creative.
It's pretty Ropey but check out the Hammond Song cover by The Colourfield, Terry Hall fromThe Specials, band, it's not particularly good but it's nice to see someone else being a fan of these wonderful ,witty musicians.
lol anybody famous - these grrrls are wayshowers bless'em - tongue in cheek ski here can ya catch it? take away close the whole way thru - and reading you the proper spelling of their name lol! sublime genius talent!!
All I can guess is that they weren't a full-time group any more. I think there were creative differences and that's why there was a Maggie & Suzzy album sans Terre a couple of years before this

My favorite Tiny Toon segment ever, maybe ^^
Hell Yeah!!!
Yeah, but I didn't know they were a real band until just this moment!
I was just watching that on DVD
Looking for that specific episode is what brought me here! I'm so amazed!!
Hammond song is the best, but this is good too! They write songs like it's a conversation, real clever and down to earth. Love it.
I like Married men best.

Classic, timeless Roches. MORE, More, more, please!!!!!!!!!

@@chrisquinn503 Or on the road to Fairfax County, or on down the line, or in a laundromat getting mad at Suzzy, or just missing.
Residents in peace, Maggie 😂
Amazing song... witty stylish clever jazzy beautiful harmonies
I LOVE The Roches! Saw them in concert at the (old) Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis. Their first album and their Christmas album are fabulous!
Those Guthrie Theater shows were so great. I am pretty sure we saw them three times there over the years.
Why of why am I only learning about these ladies now (it's 2023... and I am a music lover... ) what talents
I love them...
I grew up with this song!
always puts a smile on my face :-D
The Roches, not today's but in early 80's, gave us many songs of thrillings, in deed. The video seems like a VERY private one ;-P What a surprise!
Now I wish I was in my thirties instead of childhood when I saw the Tiny Toons episode. Know for a fact it would have had me rolling over in laughter.
This sounds like The Shaggs in a good way

it's on now.

Timeless
finally I can see them playing... Gorgeus!
Thanks for posting this. ❤
They sure did, and the Roches provided their own voices as well.
hhhhhhhhh awesome song, great album.
good one, thanks
Me too! @Northwestern University.

The Indigo Girls took a swing (and a miss) at it too
announcer: "..to the concert stages all over the world and europe.."
interesting view of geography. I definetely do not feel like an alien.;-)
It's a joke using lyrics from the song.
More?

Are they performing this Christmas anywhere??
Why don't they say "trio"? When I saw Maggie and Suzzie they blanked out that word but why when all three of them are there? (RIP Maggie)
All I can guess is that they weren't a full-time group any more. I think there were creative differences and that's why there was a Maggie & Suzzy album sans Terre a couple of years before this
What planet are they from?
Seriously silly sisters, they!
