Wow! The album cover is a picture of a waitress. That's the only one that's close, though.

As someone who habitually fights for the Cellar in all the LS games, I wouldn't stand a chance. But I'm curious if there's anything in the lyrics that would make this answer clear? Or did Donna Summer just say this in an interview somewhere?

I guess she mentioned that in interviews, but the lyrics are basically, "she works hard for the money," she works for tips, and, most telling (now), "Onetta there in the corner stand." Wiki says her inspiration was named Onetta and is pictured on the back cover of the album.

Lets pretend I'm still alive, but I've used ATA & +1

100K: I've read about resurrection. Like contestant figured the set contained healing sick. 50/50. My gut was going for water-to-wine.

250K: Boy, am I outa here. Whoa go, contestant!

500K: Thought it was a waitress. Outa here again.

Knew this one cold -- one of the old Uncle John's Bathroom Readers had it. probably would have bombed out on the 250k but man, it's nice to imagine getting there!

There's something in the song about working for tips, so it's probably not A, B or C. I'll try the ATA, though, just to see if that clarifies the situation.
