24 Hours single (1981) by The Chefs appears in New York Times list

The Chefs, ’24 Hours’ (1981)

“There are unmistakable traces of post-punk in this spiffy, spiky charmer, which features shambling guitars, an unfussy bass line and sparse production. But the frontwoman Helen McCookerybook injects a half-dozen or so hooks in each verse, and the song’s delightful chorus — ‘I’d really, really, really like to be friends with you’ — is essentially a power-pop mantra. Purists can feel free to argue about whether this has enough ‘power’ to fit on this list; the rest of us can simply hum ’24 Hours’ all day.”
