The Wigs are an American power pop band.
The Wigs were formed in Milwaukee, Wisconsin by vocalist and guitarist Jim Cushinery with Bobby Tews on drums and Marty Ross on vocals and guitar. Bass guitarist Bob Pachner left the band shortly before the group's album was recorded.
After regrouping on the West Coast in 1983, Val McCallum joined the group on bass guitar. The Wigs were later signed to CBS records. In 1986, Ross landed a part in the TV series the New Monkees. With his departure, The Wigs became the band 57 Braves and the group eventually disbanded.
The Wigs album File Under: Pop Vocal was a regional hit in the Midwest in 1981. The group's songs are mainly written by Cushinery and Ross. The album was released by the Streetwise label.
The Wigs are prominently featured in the 80's romantic comedy My Chauffeur and the band is featured on the film's soundtrack. The band wrote eight of the songs for the film.People Magazine cited that the film's soundtrack "has some nice rock 'n' roll by an L.A. -based group called The Wigs."
Please don't say we're done
When I'm not finished
I could give so much more
Make you feel, like never before
Welcome, they said welcome to the floor
It's been a while
And you've found someone better
But I've been waiting too long to give this up
The more I see, I understand
But sometimes, I still need you
Sometimes, I still need you [x7]
And I was struggling to get in
Left waiting outside your door
I was sure
You'd give me more
No need to come to me
When I can make it all the way to you
You made it clear
You weren't near
Near enough for me
Heart skipped a beat
And when I caught it you were out of reach
But I'm sure, I'm sure
You've heard it before
