1. BETTY is an alternative rock group from New York City, The group originated in Washington, D.C. and traces its lineage to a birthday party for Dodie Bowers (the original owner of the 9:30 Club). The band's harmonies and unique lyrics attracted a cult following in the vibrant alternative music scene and among gay/lesbian audiences. A "BETTY Rules" t-shirt, an early marketing item of the band, appears on one of the AIDS quilts.
In the late 1980s the band relocated to NYC. The name of their first album, "Hello, BETTY!" comes from the standard opening for all their appearances. In 1995, the band expanded by adding lead guitar and drums to the initial line-up primarily of vocals with electronic accompaniment.
Betty appeared in every episode of the 1986 HBO Series Encyclopedia, singing educational songs each centered around a particular word, as well as performing the opening and closing theme songs. The members involved were Alyson Palmer/Amy Ziff/Elizabeth Ziff, although they were credited in the show's opening titles as simply "Betty".
In 2003 the group starred in its own off-Broadway show BETTY RULES directed by Rent's Michael Greif. The musical ran for 6 months at the Zipper Theatre. The show has since been performed in Chicago at the Lakeside Theatre and at Theater J in Washington, DC. BETTY has appeared as a regular guest artist on the television show The L Word, for which they provided the theme song.

Confio em Jesus Cristo, confio em Seu poder,
Ao meu lado Ele está, pra sempre me guiará,
Posso confiar, posso confiar em Deus.
Problemas, provas e desilusão,
Parece até que vão me derrubar…
Porém Jesus me estende a mão,
Dá força e confiança pra me levantar.
Com meu Jesus vou sempre me manter,
Em Seu poder seguro estou,
Embora tempestades possam me abalar, vou cantar… (coro)
Se meu amigos não tem solução
Pra incerteza do meu coração
Ele ouvirá e entenderá
As dúvidas que são razão do meu chorar.
A minha escolha eu tenho que fazer,
Com meu Jesus vou sempre me manter,
Ele é fiel consolador!
Que grande amigo mais chegado que um irmão… meu Jesus!

Something in the way she moves
Makes me think of all the things I missed
And something in the way she looks at me
Makes me wanna lay down, open my mouth and get kissed
Yeah
And she looks like I think Jesus would have looked
And she looks like I think Jesus would have looked
Now I know why Merry and the boys got hooked
Now I know why Merry and the boys got (x3) hooked
Now I know why Merry and the boys got (x3) hooked
Something in the way that she walks
Makes me wanna change the way I think
And something in the way she talks to me
Makes me order up another drink so she can get in my ping
Yeah
And she looks like I think Jesus would have looked
And she looks like I think Jesus would have looked
Now I know why Merry and the boys got hooked
Now I know why Merry and the boys got hooked
Now I know why Merry and the boys got hooked
Touch me, touch me, touch me
Touch me, touch me, touch me
Touch me like no other
