"Words: Can't say what they mean don't mean what they say" --Tom Tom Club

Tom Tom Club is a New Wave band set up in 1981 by Tina Weymouth and Chris Frantz, who were also members of the Talking Heads. Tom Tom Club was Tom Tom Club's 1981 first album and contained the UK hit singles: "Wordy Rappinghood", which reached No. 7 in June 1981, the single which is sometimes blamed for bringing postmodernism to pop music.
