This song always reminds me of organized chaos. Half punk / half hars rock. Love the song and group.
Saw this tour in Austin Texas (Armadillo World Headquarters). They opened with this track and never let up. Blew the roof off the place! One of the best shows I've ever seen.
Used to open with this one back in 81....and usually every show.🤗👵
The real thing.
Great song with a pounding hot rhythm - great lyrics as well
You could chop down a forest with the energy in that tempo..... now I want to get me a Telecaster.. LOL
Martin and Pete made a bad-ass rhythm section...🥁 🎸
It’s a musical piece about giving birth. The lyrics are nonsense in places on purpose because that’s her take on what giving birth was like. Lots of pain, shouting, swearing, and heavy breathing. Only punk song I know about giving birth sung by a mother. Absolutely one of the best kick ass songs ever.
Okay. But, this song was written years before Ms. Hynde had a child...she became a Mother in 1983. The Wait was penned in the mid seventies. Concert in 80. 🤗👵👍😁...saw them in 80, 81 or twice in 81...it has been a while.
Dean H Sorry, but you are sooo completely wrong! Please just read this song's lyrics (WHY the hell don't more people just simply do that??) The song was cowritten with Hynde and the one and only Pete Farndon.. The original Pretenders irreplaceable late Bassist, and co-founder of this brilliant unique group.
The Wait was written by Hynde and Farndon at the beginning of their relationship and the band, it’s about Peter waiting for his smack dealer. Hynde told about it many years before "Reckless"
It was about a latch key kid
Well, it's really the genesis of post-punk.
But, still, I agree -- you had to be there then. Wow, what electricity this band brought with their music and performances.
WOW - I was at this show!
The song is not only about giving birth, it is also about raising a child. Believe it or not. Some of the lyrics refer to her running to the bus stop with her child (hence the breathing). She sings out the lyrics so quickly to mimic the mad rush a mom has to often make to get her child ready for school.
afucking mazing, where have you learned that?
Interesting interpretation and possibly valid in a deconstruction sense. But it's more likely the lyrics were a combination of autobiographical and observational of misfit kids in general.
Chrissie didn't have any kids when The Wait was written around 1978. Her first child was born in 1983.
For those of you who don't like the song, that's cool. But to call it gibberish or insult their talent, you don't get it and had to be there. It was new music and these guys were great musicians. Chrissy Hynde singing, Pete Farndon Base, James "Honeyman" Scott Guitar, and Martin Chambers Drums were awesome. Miss the days when music just grabbed you and had an edge. Saw them a few times. Killer!
Gibberish? It's called Scat and it was being forgotten untnil Chrissie did it for a whole new generation of rock fans.
So CLASSIC, unbelievable live. All of them, and this song rips... so good. Their "weirder" stuff, like Space Invaders" and this and you know Porcelain, Cuban Slide... live, oh I had a super live cassette once. Unstoppable. Like a great car engine.
Live, Raw and in B+W. Friggin Loved it!! Great clip!
Wow!!!!! 😀 Outstanding! Love it. Thank you!
Just amazimg
Damn, that's sweet!
Love the '50's Chuck Berry influenced solo by James.
Sorry if you don't like the Pretenders stop listening to music and yeah you did have to be there back then when all these new sounding bands where coming around Ramones, Blondie, Flock of Seagulls ,Missing Persons those bands were instumental for todays music and as for the lyrics of the Pretenders Hey most of there music NEVER saw radio play because of the lyrics, wasn't till MTV and Brass in Pocket that non-punkers even knew who the Pretenders were and that goes for all the above mentioned bands to.
Well said!
Pearl Jam, Nirvana, R.E.M., Green Day and a lot of 90s bands have The Pretenders in them, you can tell Nirvana listened to the song Space Invaders a lot, also Bob Seger stole a rhythm from Space Invaders and used it as the riff for his song Love To Watch Her Strut. Pretenders were grunge before grunge.
Grunge wishes it could have been this grunge.
hear hear!
It's punk boy, you had to be there
Meanwhile ... Yoko is still knitting ...
Ha Ha !!! Good one
Exaactly
Killer energy but tune the bass
It's not that bad, he's playing a ton of chromatic lines that make it sound worse than it is. Anyways it's 36 years too late.
@Gelmir Curufin now now, the guitar tech tuned the guitars.
Sick song, sick lyrics. Pretenders trying to mask them with unintelligible gibberish. Yuch! Fuchi !
Maybe you should stick to Mariachi music and pimping donkeys, Hay-vee-air.
This was when The Pretenders were a great band! Later on they became middle of the road pop stars.
