Blondie - Dreaming | FIRST TIME REACTION

[@MikeytheGeek7711]

I never noticed how great the drummer was in this song! He kills it!

[@JAIstarkillerkid]

Funny, this has been one of (possibly even THE) of my favorite BLONDIE songs for decades and I never really noticed the drumming until this video either... it's the best element of the song for me now.

[@gregoryeatroff8608]

Clem Burke is a fantastic drummer. He's best known for his time with Blondie, but he's also Drummed for Pete Townsend, Bob Dylan, the Eurythmics, the Ramones, and quite a few other heavy hitters. The guy's elite.

[@daveb1797]

The story with this song goes that Clem was just, slamming away on the drum one day, practicing, releasing steam idk, band dug it so much the song was written around Clems drumming.

[@danielkillian1222]

My guitar teacher turned me on to the drumming in this song. I used it for a strumming exercise.

[@GodLovesComics]

Probably Blondie at their absolute best. Clem Burke's drums are phenomenal throughout (clearly more a rock drummer than a disco daddy) and Debbie Harry looks and sounds transcendently beautiful here.

[@mynameispaul0530]

"Atomic" is one of my fave Blondie songs. Debbie looks fantastic in the video and the song is insane good.

[@Brian-x1]

Clem Burke on the drums just kills it on this record. Other Blondie tracks - Rip Her to Shreds, One Way or Another, Hanging on the Telephone, Denis, Picture This, Union City Blue.

[@jonnno243]

Great. And, 45 years on, and still performing this banger.

[@dunringill1747]

Yes, this was recorded but played over a live show. Blondie has a great music catalogue to explore. They were pioneers that mixed a variety of genres including new wave, punk, rock, pop rock, disco, & funk. Here is a very short list of some more song recommendations: "One Way or Another" "The Hardest Part" "Call Me" "Atomic" "The Tide Is High" "Rapture" "Union City Blue" "Die Young, Stay Pretty" "Detroit 442" "Hanging on the Telephone" "11:59" "Fade Away and Radiate"

[@CollarCityGuy]

Blondie's "Call Me" is a great tune that was used in the movie American Gigolo with Richard Gere

[@ChaoticGoodß]

Blondie does great songs in many different genres: "One Way or Another" (Rock); "Heart of Glass" (Disco); "The Tide is High" (Reggae); "Rapture" (HipHop)

[@jeffthompson1685]

I love this song and video. The vibe from the studio audience was so fun. Hanging on the Telephone or One Way or Another are 2 more Blondie bangers.

[@rolieyo3209]

The drums really make this song rock!

[@jamiemacdonald436]

Yes, you are correct, this is the studio recorded track.

[@Dorsalfinsky]

There is what I think is a pretty amazing live version of this from 1979 out there. It feels like that performance leans more punk rock than the mainstream glossy sort of image that was apparently pushed on them.

[@JustDave59]

Debbie and guitarist Chris Stein met at a club called Max's Kansas City in NYC, where they were introduced to Andy Warhol's inner circle. Debbie and Chris first performed together in a band called the Stillettos, which emerged from the Max's/ Warhol scene. The pair (by then a couple) left the Stillettos to form Blondie in 1974. Together with the Ramones, Talking Heads and Patti Smith, Blondie rose to fame at CBGB, the legendary punk bar on the Bowery in lower Manhattan. Believe it or not, Debbie is now 79. Blondie performed at both Coachella and Glastonbury in 2023. Merry Christmas, Biss! 🎄

[@robertobrien5709]

Atomic probably the most iconic Blondie song, brilliant dance track, brilliant Blondie versions, influential and huge amount of brilliant remixes by others.

[@Seven50ml]

She dipped into so many genres, and had many great songs. Never bought an album but always enjoyed her songs when they popped up on the radio. Respect

[@christophermcconnell3867]

Hanging on the Telephone next please. 10000 thumbs up for reacting to this song! Debby Harry was one of my first crushes lol.

[@Marcus-p5i5s]

She was a Playboy Bunny before her singing career. She's very pretty. VERY smart too.

[@juliancrittall3291]

Bisscute, thanks for posting. My favourite Blondie tracks, Heart of Glass, Hanging on the Telephone and Atomic.

[@handfuloftrains4781]

One of the great anthems of my teenage years. Imagine something of your very own, something you can have and hold. Dreaming is free.

[@eddie3867]

Great reaction late 70's 1979 great voice and indeed a stunning lady made some good music.. blondie - atomic blondie - call me is the theme song from the movie american gigolo

[@robdyer6088]

Clem Burke is just a mad man on the skins. He must have been the inspiration behind the muppet Animal.

[@RobertJOnes-v3p]

Clem is great, one of my favorites, but Keith Moon of the WHO is actually the inspiration for "Animal", no kidding he really was. Look it up, I was pleasantly surprised myself.

[@robinfoster7597]

Hey Biss, always good to see you. Yeah, Blondie stole hearts back in the day. :)

[@ericodionneviglione9426]

Wonderful reaction by you! Thanks for posting! "Shayla", "Accidents Never Happen", and "English Boys" are just a few out of my dozen favourite songs by the band Blondie. :)

[@BisscuteReacts]

Thank you, glad you loved the reaction

[@KawaTony1964]

My favorite Blondie songs are "One Way or Another" and "Rapture".

[@1teamski]

Blondie is but one of the many reasons why the 70's and 80's literally and figuratively rocked!

[@danw3735]

Hanging on the telephone, One way or another, Sunday Girl, Tide is high, are 4 of my favourites.

[@sumonjamal1653]

Blondie is a fun band to get into... They are so diverse musically as well... Check out: 'The tide is high' (reggae style song)... 'Sunday girl' (pop rock style) ... 'One way or another' (rock song)... 'Rapture' (early hip hop)... 'Maria' (90's rock)... 'Atomic' (funk style)

[@MarkChappell1]

Just love this song. The drumming is other worldly.

[@sydneycarton9973]

Debbie Harry's glance and smile at the camera at 45 seconds always gets me

[@DazzleMonroe]

Probably the best American 1970s punk band that moved into pop, courtesy of their producers.

[@TTM9691]

This is a video for the song, they're not really playing live, what you're hearing is the actual track they released. (The previous video, "Heart Of Glass", was the same way).

[@bandmaidfanATL]

That's interesting. Blondie also did the theme song ("Call Me") for a Richard Gere movie called "America Gigolo" where Gere played a high price Gigolo, before he played in Pretty Woman.

[@timskelton2325]

One Way or Another has always been my favorite Blondie song!

[@GodLovesComics]

Phoenix - "Alone on Christmas Day (A Very Murray Christmas)" and Julian Casablancas' "I Wish it were Christmas Today" (the best holiday banger, although no official video).

[@daveb1797]

Thank you so much for checking this song out, my FAVORITE Blonde song. You have to do Rapture, it was the first song to go to #1 on the charts that included a rap in the lyrics.

[@doorofnight87]

Really fun song and really enjoyed your reaction to it!

[@AnthonyBusted]

Miss Biss, I always feel in good mood when i watch your reaction videos😊Thank you so much for that🤗

[@BisscuteReacts]

[@greg2976]

It's the studio version over the live performance!

[@legslark]

I have always enjoyed the crazy antics of the drummer from Blondie! Reminds me of Pau, the drummer from The Warning!!😊🎶⚡️

[@johnsouthwell1869]

I saw her in concert at the Paolo Soleri amphitheater in Santa Fe - along with the Ramones - f'ing amazing for both - the Ramones damaged my hearing 😂 and I loved it

[@OtavioSchafer]

This song is from the band's early days, in the second half of the 70's (if I'm not mistaken). The influence of Punk Rock (which was booming at the time) is present, with a simpler, more direct and straightforward sound. Speaking of Punk Rock, I'm eagerly awaiting the day when we'll have reactions on your channel, from bands like "The Ramones" (whose members were friends with the members of "Blondie"), "The Clash" and "Sex Pistols"! After all, pop culture has never been the same since the "Punk Movement"!!! Thank you for your musical reactions, I'm sure they make a lot of people's day 😎

[@DanielDeRudder]

02:08 Her name is Debby (Deborah) Harry (born Angela Trimble).😊

[@DaddyTheDarkModerator]

First view, up vote and comment. I love your reactions!

[@BisscuteReacts]

Thank you, glad you loved the reaction

[@Shadowace724]

This is a great New Wave/Pop Punk song! I have come to appreciate Blondie more as I have gotten older as I was pretty young at the height of their popularity. Check out "Call Me" and "Rapture" when you get the chance. Fun reaction Biss!

[@JeffDeLong-r6i]

Blondie was a group way ahead of their time. Incorporating punk, new wave, pop, rock, reggae, disco and rap. Lead singer Debbie Harry a true icon. Try One way or Another, Atomic, Call Me, Hanging on the Telephone, Rapture

[@johnj28]

Blondie is terrific, their biggest song is Call Me, it was the #1 song of 1980! My favorite Blondie songs besides that one are Atomic, One Way or Another, Hanging on the Telephone, and Maria!

[@neilsackman4723]

Debbie is top notch. I was a little kid when this song came out and it was a favorite, and like every other kid I was in love with her lol.

[@BlackieNuff]

Call Me - the full 8-minute mix. A must. Rapture (the 6½-minute or 10-minute mix - either one is great), Atomic, Heart Of Glass, In The Flesh, One Way Or Another.

[@TheNightBadger]

Staggering that you said it would work for Pretty Woman, since Blondie recorded the song 'Call Me' for the movie 'American Gigolo', which was about a male prostitute and starred the romantic lead of Pretty Woman, Richard Gere. So for the next reaction, I would recommend their biggest US hit: 'Call Me'.

[@danhelphrey6260]

The bass player, Gary Valentine (Gary Lachman) went on to get a Masters in Philosophy, and was a TA for several of my courses as an undergraduate.

[@Mark_at_Sac]

Debbie & Kermit the Frog: Rainbow Connection

[@JAIstarkillerkid]

That Muppet Show clip is one of the greatest 4-5 minutes of TV ever filmed.

[@DickeyStapleton]

“Hanging on the Telephone “ and “The Hardest Part (25 Tons)”.

[@Mr.Philbert_Coffee_Esq]

"Picture This" was one of my favorite Blondie songs

[@robertfindley921]

Bisscutie is very witty and charming. Never heard this song, but Blondie was an epic sound of the decade. It sounds like another song from the same era.

[@malarkey2217]

Yeah, this i think was the official video with the release. Listen to those drums! Love Clem Burke. Hanging On The Telephone next!

[@Toobeegort]

The radio time limit is a thing but there are exceptions, like "Stairway To Heaven", "American Pie" and "Bohemian Rhapsody", all still played on radio.

[@laraismyname821]

"One Way Or Another" is probably my favorite--it's just so weird & funny when you really listen to the lyrics. But I agree with all the other suggestions in the comments.

[@williamyates694]

Always love your reactions! The best out there! I grew up in the 70s and 80s. So Blondie was a part of the time and living music. She was a wonderful woman who had great hits through decades!!!! I'm a metal guy, but who can deny how great she was and is! You're the best Biss CHEERS!!! 🤟👏 5:05

[@BisscuteReacts]

Thank you, glad you loved the reaction

[@steve3291]

Debbie Harry is an amazing vocalist and she has that New York attitude about her. You can hear it in her voice.

[@fugazi225]

thanks for reaction

[@BisscuteReacts]

[@Avscout]

Fade Away and Radiate is one of her weirdest but one of my favorites. Pretty Baby was iconic 80s vibe. Either of those two will be a hit!

[@DeadOfMusicWasCasted]

you should definitely react to Transvision Vamp - I Want Your Love. They had a lot of great songs. I want your love is quite similar in genre to this song. And some say Wendy on vocals was a pretty woman too.

[@joeerrington6657]

Merry Christmas Bisscute

[@todstapleton3911]

The drummer is excellent. The song is a banger

[@TheGathumpus]

You should take a look at Blondie singing 'Rapture' Also includes one of the first times Rap hit mainstream

[@davestang5454]

Yes, you can tell the vocals are not live. This video looks like a concert scene you would see in a movie. It's also accurate that this would have made a good song for the "Pretty Woman" soundtrack. Julia Roberts standing on a streetcorner.

[@MrCraig70aw]

She does this live and it sounds exactly like the recording.

[@mrbilx]

❤ 🤘🏼 Blondie 🤘🏼 ❤ ❤ 🤘🏼 Biscute Reactions 🤘🏼 ❤

[@richardkint6531]

Hello Bisscute!😊 Yes, studio version dubbed over video. Many Blondie songs already mentioned in other comments except for their reunion hit "Maria" in 1999.

[@robertjewell9727]

Probably my favorite Blondie song is FADE AWAY AND RADIATE of which I don't know any live performances, but the studio version is essential. Great reaction ✊

[@BisscuteReacts]

Thank you, glad you loved the reaction

[@KoaWilson]

Any Blondie tune is a good tune. But, one of my favorite Blondie videos is a relatively lesser known tune, "The Hardest Part" (the armored car song).

[@BullwinkleFromHell]

Call Me, One way or Another, or The Tide is High. If you want the big radio hits. Biss would have made a great 80s DJ.

[@hollinlange9504]

"Rip her to Shreds" is fun, "Hanging on the Telephone" is great!, "In the Sun" (early punk influences still can be heard.)

[@treetopjones737]

A perfectly written pop song. Perhaps inspired a little by when Debbie worked at Max's Kansas City diner.

[@carlosgabrielcarrillotovar9165]

Atomic!!!!!! You must hear atomic!!!! It's atomic 😁😁😁

[@robfinlay8058]

They used this song as the theme for the TV series "the Deuce" which is pretty much a grimly realistic version of "Pretty Woman".

[@JohnPristas]

Love her a down-home Jersey girl with attitude and style!!!

[@neilfleming2787]

I love that some of the lyrics crop up in another of their songs "fade away and radiate"

[@gavinparry5426]

Sunday Girl is another big hit from Parallel Lines which sold over 20m copies

[@andybee7158]

Hanging on the Telephone is a fantastic joint

[@danpuleo9728]

One Way or Another the song that made me a Blondie fan.

[@KingReese9k]

Lets go I'm here for this❤

[@theerayundar6204]

“Rip Her to Shreds” would be a fun one to watch you react to.

[@grichard1585]

Blondie was originally a Punk rock band. Search YT for -- Blondie - Hanging On The Telephone --- Blondie - One Way Or Another

[@ericafinch5475]

Atomic, Union City Blues, Hanging on the Telephone, just a few good ones

[@4Kandlez]

The singer is Debbie Harry and no this is not a live performance, she a very talented singer and there are plenty of videos on YT of them performing live. Take a look at Blondie - Apollo Theatre, Glasgow, 1979 this was a live New Years Eve concert

[@timbaker6540]

Great Band !!

[@rowdyron4111]

So good!

[@stornowayscotland]

Thank you beautiful for the reaction ❤❤❤

[@BisscuteReacts]

[@treetopjones737]

Another vote for reacting to their *Atomic* 🎶

[@willfromyadkinville]

always loved Blondie!

[@HankD13]

As a teenage boy at the height of Blondie's (Debbie Harry) fame we all considered the most ideal and perfect women - Sunday Girl was always a favourite - "cold as ice cream but still as sweet". We missed her when her then boyfriend 1983, Chris Stein was diagnosed with the life-threatening illness pemphigus, and Harry cared for him and Blondie disappeared from our radar. She did restart a solo career but it never really made it in the same way. Watch more!

[@treetopjones737]

And now they are back as a band.

[@kirkmatsuyama6176]

😊😊❤❤ Blondie music is variety. They are one excellent band.

[@WebShaman01]

Blondie!!! This gets immediate updoooot!

[@kswwhodat]

"Hanging on the Telephone" and " X offender" both killer tracks

[@steve3291]

Clem Burke on the drums deserves a shout out.

[@transponderful]

Debbie Harry was my 'Pictures of Lily'

[@ymcavalier3555]

Debbie Harry was an icon - blondie has some outstanding catchy songs (tide is high, call me, etc)

[@StephenRae-u1t]

Great song, great band, great reaction!

[@BisscuteReacts]

Thank you, glad you loved the reaction

[@BORDERSALAN]

Loved a bit of blonde! Still got parallel lines lp . Sunday girl,Denis rock. Or picture this is neat.she did rap before it was mainstream. ❤

[@andyprosser4727]

Great reaction 👏 👏👏 If you want more Blondie earworms, then try Atomic, Hanging On The Telephone, Picture This and Union City Blue. Long Time from their 2017 album is classic Blondie too 😀

[@BisscuteReacts]

Thank you, glad you loved the reaction
