Transvision Vamp

They released their last album, Little Magnets versus the Bubble of Babble, in 1991 after a delay by their record company, and released their greatest hits album, Baby I Don't Care, in 2002. The singer expresses his (vain, in hindsight) hope to be able to look forward again to the annual Presidents' Day in February. Wendy James, the lead singer and focal-point of the group, generated a great deal of attention with her sexually-charged and rebellious image and allowed the group to achieve two top five hits. On Wainwright's homepage, the song Presidents' Day (http://lwiii.com/LWPresidentsDay_s192.mp3), created in early 2004, is available for free download. Transvision Vamp were a popular late 1980s British pop/rock group. (Rufus was the subject of another of Loudon's more famous songs, the breastfeeding ode "Rufus is a Tit Man", and Martha has been greeted with the gentle song "Five Years Old" on her fifth birthday.). 1991 – Little Magnets versus the Bubble of Babble. Wainwright's son Rufus Wainwright and daughter Martha Wainwright, through his onetime marriage to Canadian singer/songwriter Kate McGarrigle, are both singer/songwriters as well.

1989 – Velveteen. His father, Loudon Wainwright II, was a well-known writer for Life magazine. 1988 – Pop Art. He was one of many young folksingers tagged as the "new Dylan" in the early 1970s. 1989 – Baby I Don't Care (#3 in the UK). Wainwright has claimed that, like many of his contemporaries, he was inspired musically by seeing Bob Dylan at the Newport Folk Festival in 1962. 1988 – I Want Your Love (#5 in the UK). Using a witty, self-mocking style and unusual, high-pitched voice, Wainwright has made a number of albums, two of which were nominated for Grammy awards.

1988 – Tell That Girl to Shut Up. He is best known to the general public for a 1972 novelty song hit "Dead Skunk (in the Middle of the Road)", and for playing "the Singing Surgeon" on three episodes of the American television show M*A*S*H in 1975, but his musical reputation is much deeper.
