To me, this is Blondie at their high-energy peak. They'd go on to much greater popularity soon after this with "Heart of Glass", "Call Me", "Dreaming" etc., but this was their best period as a live band.

Agreed. Much more raw, punk energy. Debbie Harry looked like a paranoid weirdo instead of a glamed-up sex symbol. And the band was having fun playing off each others energy instead of being a session band for a Marilyn Monroe clone.

I saw Blondie in late '76 or early '77 in London, I think it was the Marquee club. They played several songs from the album Blondie including this one, and I seem to remember having the album about then, it was the very start of punk and she wore ripped fishnets and a plastic mac. There were several bands on that day-The Lurkers, a girl band called The Slits, The Damned, Television and The Police. Half the audience was skinhead and half punk, I had an album called New Wave, which I've still got and several of the acts were on that so it was a sort of 'introduction to Punk' day.

Ich erinnere mich noch: war damals so 12-13 Jahre alt, wir hatten einen VHS-Recorder und ich habe ohne Erlaubnis meines Bruders den NDR Musikladen mit Blondie aufgenommen. Einen seiner anderen Film überspielt. Da habe ich den Bart abgekriegt..- Nee, hatte noch keinen. Hatte das Tape viel Jahre, is irgendwann verloren gegangen ... Aber ich habe das viele Jahre regelmässig gespielt. Hat meinen Musikgeschmack geprägt. Der NDR Musikladen war ja zu der a little bit verrucht... Aber top.

Regardless of their later increased popularity, "Parallel Lines" is still their BEST album. The sheer number of great songs make all their later albums pale in comparison. And yes, I know this song was on "Blondie," their first album (and a very good one), but I was just talking about their whole catalog.

Blondie have Australia to thank for their fame.....and not with this song. Iconic 70s and 80s new wave pop band Blondie had its first big break in Australia. In 1977, an apparent accident by Molly Meldrum on Countdown gave the group its first hit single anywhere in the world. Meldrum was supposed to play Blondie's edgy track, X Offender, but instead played the single's B-side - the much poppier In The Flesh, which promptly went to the top of the charts. Blondie were not the only band to be launched by Countdown Australia - , "Madonna achieved her first hit single in April 1984 when "Holiday" was screened on Countdown. Subsequently, "Burning Up" reached the top twenty following repeated showings of the video clip on the show; this second song was not a hit in other countries. Other international artists including Blondie, ABBA, John Mellencamp, Meat Loaf, Boz Scaggs and Cyndi Lauper achieved their first hits in Australia, thanks to their video clips being aired on Countdown, and this in turn led to their records being picked up and becoming hits in America and/or Europe." In an act that borders on criminal, most episodes from the 70's were taped over in a cost cutting exercise.

@andrewfurst5711Ай бұрын
Well it was mostly written by Gary Lachman (aka Gary Valentine) who was the band's early bassist (he'd left the band by the time of this live performance). Debbie's lyrics were about a prostitute who falls in love with the policeman who arrests her. Chris Stein often wrote for the band, but not this one. Interestingly, in the band's early performances, Valentine (Lachman) would switch from bass to lead guitar while Stein would play bass.
