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.

[@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.

[@jonnno243]

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

[@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.

[@mynameispaul0530]

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

[@robertobrien5709]

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

[@CollarCityGuy]

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

[@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.

[@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! 🎄

[@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)

[@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"

[@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.

[@rolieyo3209]

The drums really make this song rock!

[@juliancrittall3291]

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

[@Marcus-p5i5s]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@doorofnight87]

Really fun song and really enjoyed your reaction to it!

[@DazzleMonroe]

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

[@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

[@robinfoster7597]

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

[@sydneycarton9973]

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

[@KawaTony1964]

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

[@MarkChappell1]

Just love this song. The drumming is other worldly.

[@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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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)

[@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).

[@mrbilx]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@KingReese9k]

Lets go I'm here for this❤

[@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!

[@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.

[@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 😎

[@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!

[@treetopjones737]

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

[@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.

[@DaddyTheDarkModerator]

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

[@BisscuteReacts]

Thank you, glad you loved the reaction

[@AnthonyBusted]

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

[@BisscuteReacts]

[@DickeyStapleton]

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

[@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.

[@theerayundar6204]

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

[@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.

[@todstapleton3911]

The drummer is excellent. The song is a banger

[@greg2976]

It's the studio version over the live performance!

[@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.

[@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!

[@Mr.Philbert_Coffee_Esq]

"Picture This" was one of my favorite Blondie songs

[@steve3291]

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

[@malarkey2217]

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

[@DanielDeRudder]

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

[@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).

[@fugazi225]

thanks for reaction

[@BisscuteReacts]

[@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.

[@carlosgabrielcarrillotovar9165]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@MrCraig70aw]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@TheGathumpus]

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

[@danpuleo9728]

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

[@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.

[@JohnPristas]

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

[@treetopjones737]

Another vote for reacting to their *Atomic* 🎶

[@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).

[@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

[@hollinlange9504]

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

[@ericafinch5475]

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

[@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.

[@gavinparry5426]

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

[@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".

[@George-ux6zz]

Good day Bisscute 🎉

[@BisscuteReacts]

[@grichard1585]

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

[@kirkmatsuyama6176]

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

[@stornowayscotland]

Thank you beautiful for the reaction ❤❤❤

[@BisscuteReacts]

[@roberormonde]

[@BisscuteReacts]

[@roberormonde]

​have a merry Christmas and a happy new year🥂 your buitful and you have a sweet ❤😊 you cutey 🥧

[@steve3291]

Clem Burke on the drums deserves a shout out.

[@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.

[@rowdyron4111]

So good!

[@timbaker6540]

Great Band !!

[@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. ❤

[@willfromyadkinville]

always loved Blondie!

[@WebShaman01]

Blondie!!! This gets immediate updoooot!

[@carlospozaplaton3089]

MERRY CHRISTMAS 🎄🎄🇪🇦

[@richiecabral3602]

I don't know about this video specifically, but I used to work on music videos, and you're probably right. Usually in music videos they are performing along side the studio version, or whatever version is chosen for the video, that is being played on set as they film. They usually are still actually performing, but they're just not recording any sound on what they're performing. They do this because if they were to just record them performing live, which you can do, but that's basically a different kind of thing, which is also going to be more complicated to shoot and record sound for, and if you're shooting multiple takes, every time they perform, the timing will probably be different each time, which will make synching up the video and sound, and editing it together, very difficult. So, if they're performing while following a consistent track every time, it makes it easier, and it's also easier to not have to worry about recording good clean sound at the same time you have a film crew working to shoot it, and you also get to use the preproduced finished product that you've already spent a lot of time and money on making, and that is the actual product that you're trying to market and sell. "One Way Or Another", "Call Me", and "Rapture" are the other big hit songs of theirs from back in the day, and in the late 90s, after no one had heard from them in forever, they reappeared with a song called "Maria", which is a banger!

[@ymcavalier3555]

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

[@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

[@daviddodd7581]

Hi Biss, Blondie [Debbie Harry] great singer of the 70-80s actually married guitarist Chris Stein that's when they formed Blondie and had some great hits like Hanging On The Telephone, Atomic, Denis, Heart OF Glass just to mention a few.Great Reaction.♥

[@gordonpatterson8615]

Not sure if they ever married but certainly were a couple. Didn’t last long though. He has a wife and family now unrelated to the group.

[@wayne_twentyfive]

If you like this high energy Blondie song, then definitely check out my favourite song from them, "Hanging On The Telephone" ( Official Video ).. It's actually a cover, but they made it a classic !

[@StephenRae-u1t]

Great song, great band, great reaction!

[@BisscuteReacts]

Thank you, glad you loved the reaction

[@stevegoldy2196]

Blondie - Atomic, that song is so you Biss!
