Wendy O. Williams
Wendy Orlean Williams (May 28, 1949 – April 6, 1998), better known as Wendy O. Williams, was an American singer, songwriter and actress. Born in Webster, New York, she first came to prominence as the lead singer of the punk rock band Plasmatics. Her infamous stage theatrics included blowing up equipment, near nudity and chain-sawing guitars. After she left home at the age of 16, Williams hitchhiked her way to Colorado, earning money by crocheting string bikinis. She later traveled to Florida and Europe landing various jobs such as lifeguard, stripper and server at Dunkin' Donuts. When she returned to California in 1978, she began performing in live sex shows and later appeared in the adult film, Candy Goes to Hollywood (1979). That same year, she was approached by the manager Rod Swenson, who recruited her to join his newly formed punk rock band, Plasmatics. The band shortly became known on the New York City underground scene, performing at clubs such as CBGB.
After releasing three albums with Plasmatics, Williams embarked on a solo career and in 1984 released her debut album, WOW. She followed with the albums Kommander of Kaos (1986) and Deffest! and Baddest! (1988), before she retired from the music industry. Williams made her screen debut in Tom DeSimone's film Reform School Girls (1986), for which she recorded the title song. She also appeared in the 1989 comedy Pucker Up and Bark Like a Dog, and television series The New Adventures of Beans Baxter and MacGyver. On April 6, 1998, Williams committed suicide near her home in Storrs, Connecticut.

Ain't None Of Your Business
by: Wendy O. WilliamsAin't here to tell so get a grip
I aint really what you think
I ain't guilty or innocent
Don't play a fool, don't turn your back
You ask me why, well listen Jack
You'd better practise what you preach
Cause there aint nothing you can teach me
Won't wear a target on my back
I don't stand for no third degree
I don't care what you think of me
I do as I like, I'll do as I please, don't ask me why
They go to church, they go to school
But I ain't nobody's fool
May go right, may go wrong
I may sing a different song
Don't try to label who I am
One thing you'll never understand
Just keep your thoughts to yourself
Don't play a fool, don't turn your back
You ask me why, well listen Jack
I'll do as I like, I'll do as I please, don't ask me why
Bite off more than I can chew
Don't tell me what to do
They go to church they go to school
But I ain't nobody's fool
They rule the world, they sell it whole
They socialise, they live a lie
