40 years ago, the Soviet Union creates a list of 38 dangerous bands. #SexPistols #B52s #Madness #TheClash #Stranglers #Yazoo #Blondie are #banned for "#punk, violence", what is partly understandable 😉. #VillagePeople for violence 😆

I think I missed posting for the last day of #NewWaveNovember so making up for it with a classic that is also very appropriate for December.
The Waitresses - Christmas Wrapping (1981)
I love that the genre has its own quirky Christmas staple. And it saves this great band from one-hit-wonder status
