Yes I would put Waits there too in the goof that lives in the abandoned house next door category. Some Goofy Gals are victoria williams and laurie anderson.
Camille West (now with the Four Bitchin' Babes) gets my vote...
With songs like "The Nervous Wreck of Edna Fitzgerald", "Viagra in the Water" and "Toe To Toe With the HMO"
