First Time Hearing Blondie - Heart Of Glass | REACTION

[@scipio7837]

Brother, that's everybody's favourite part.The vocal controls, the lilt, the eyes... oh man the eyes. Remember when this song hit the charts. Was infatuated with her.

[@Wellch]

I liked the part where one of the band checked his hair for ticks.

[@InsanelyGhostly]

He wasn’t born when this hit the charts

[@zzrydr]

Right after that she actually says "Soon found out... be a pain in the ass" lol guess KZbin didn't like that part either

[@tid418]

The lips!

[@troyshilanski380]

I was born 1970 and she was older than my parents for this song. Always a blast to skate to at the roller rink.

[@AllenDM]

At 3:25 they've very clearly dubbed in the lyric "soon turned out had a heart of glass". What she actually sang (and the way she sings it on the record) is "soon turned out to be a pain in the ass".

[@EC-dz3fb]

𝐒𝐨 glad someone pointed this out - 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐤 𝐲𝐨𝐮! ♡

[@debjorgo]

The band did this after AM radio began to beep out the word. They released the single with the edit. FM radio had fewer restrictions. They still played the "pain in the ass" version.

[@vickiroman189]

LOL - I was singing along and sang that very thing.

[@daveveautour4886]

I hate sanitized rock. Nothing goes against the heart of rock music than this: "Funky kicks going down in the city" crap.

[@EC-dz3fb]

@@daveveautour4886 Right?! Sacrilege. ♡

[@motherofteriberry6495]

Just saw Blondie this past weekend at Cruel World Fest in CA. She still got it, the whole crowd was dancing!

[@ThemeOfSecrets]

One of the most well arranged and executed pop songs of all time.

[@markmcveigh3669]

to understand the impact this song/Debbie's vocals and persona had at the time, consider the reigning female vocalist at the time was the brilliant Donna Summer, whose tracks were HOT and impassioned. then look at Debbie's nonchalant "what me, worry?" attitude, chilly head voice, and the "pain in the ass" line in last verse, and suddenly the playing field had changed. and her insanely beautiful face didn't hurt either.

[@paulb4604]

So good to see you back reacting to great music again! Hope you're doing well.

[@deucekewlage776]

How funny, I was just thinking about you, and how I have been missing your videos. I really miss your energy. Welcome Back! Blondie, is such a trendsetter. She really changed the music scene. 👍😊

[@vickiroman189]

Debbie was a real powerhouse - one of the first females to front a male band. Tons of hits.

[@faithnyou1732]

I'll never forget your reaction when you did Blondie's "Rapture" -- Priceless! So great to see you doing reactions again, James! Welcome back! ;-)

[@holgerschink1341]

Legendary song...until now a dance-floor bomb ahead of it`s time. Love it ! Greets from germany

[@rajanajovovic6184]

Yes

[@thatrobguy]

Good to see you again. Hope you and your family are well. And this song is a BANGER! Another great one by them: Call Me

[@debbiekiss123]

I have always been a big blonde fan. Used to listen to her on my little cassette recorder. ❤❤❤

[@annie107]

James I was worried about you. So glad your back. I hope your family is doing well . Good ol Blondie. Thanks for sharing. We love you and missed you James!✝️🙏♥️🙂

[@briangulley6027]

This song takes me to my happy place.

[@mrkiplingreallywasanexceed8311]

I forgot how much you cheer me up....❤ keep radiating that great energy my friend 😉🤩

[@flugsven]

Grew up with Blondie. If you wanna see them on fire, check out "Dreaming" 😊 Clem Burke killing on drums. Debbie doing her Mr Bean like dance .

[@MidnightSmoke]

Blondie is always a fun time.

[@reality1958]

Missed your music reactions so much! Missed your dancing too! So glad you’re back

[@alankohn6709]

blondie was a great band with a series of hits they were also one of the first bands to include Rap into a mainstream song

[@markdraine3571]

Glad to see you back ,James ! Best wishes to you and mom and the little mrs

[@evanpenn1]

And the video holds up. Timeless style and class by Debbie Harry.

[@Timoeltejano]

Watching you react always makes me happy. Soooooo missed your reactions. When I need a pick me up I go back and watch you react to Fleetwood Mac, or, my favorite reaction of all time- Bell Biv DeVoe, "Poison" Thanks for always keeping it positive and real.

[@johnwaga3702]

A great song from their fantastic Parallel Lines album. I had such a crush on Debbie Harry but I guess most red-blooded males did!

[@thathawaiiandude787]

😁 it NEVER gets old for me to see the younger generation like you, my brother, appreciating music of my youth. I would’ve been shocked if you didn’t like this one of theirs. It’s my favorite tune of theirs. Debbie Harry was a huge sex symbol back then, boy. Their other tune “Call Me” was a jam too, back in the day. But “Heart of Glass” was so good…that even MY MOM liked it. She always sang along with it when it came on the radio. This video version was the “clean” version, though. There’s another version where Debbie sings “…once I had love it was a gas…so turned out to be a pain in the ass…”. 🤣 There’s a few videos on KZbin with that version. Love that one too😆 Keep being true to yourself, my brother! Love your reactions. Much Aloha✌🏾🎼🎵🎶

[@petepower4217]

As a teen I hated the disco stuff but this tune...no doubt about it, it's got the goods . Stands the test of time too. Debbie Harry is mesmerizing.

[@ansfridaeyowulfsdottir8095]

Me too, I was into heavy rock and progressive rock, even in 1979. But this is a great song. I feel the same about ABBA's _"Dancing Queen"_ ! {:o:O:}

[@davidcruz8667]

Well, this isn't disco, but it is a dancy tune.

[@paulb4604]

At the absolute height of the punk and disco eras in NYC (at basically the same time), Blondie was pretty much at the forefront of both genres. Debbie Harry was, and still is a stone cold fox. As I was a teenager in this time it felt to me like Debbie was an understated, or maybe a "reluctant" sex symbol, but there's no doubt that she was. And yes, she certainly had the moves, but she rarely flaunted it.

[@ScottyM1959]

Dude, I saw her live in Philadelphia, and she was out of this world! Check out One Way Or Another its a trip!

[@debbiethomasson2709]

Thank you for coming back to the music! Greatly missed this side of you! Makes me smile...while I'm two steppin' in the corner!

[@lizfreedman1462]

Your enjoyment just makes it better!

[@johnp9477]

Listen to the Blondie song titled "Dreaming"

[@kevincrain5780]

Shayla..ATOMIC..

[@karikhat4685]

That album is 🔥🔥🔥

[@johnharrid5729]

Got to see a show in 1980 when I was in the 🇬🇧 I learned that even a hint of anything remotely disparaging about blonde, and the brits were ready to throw hands

[@ranieraandreoli4478]

Amore Bellissima...Blondie❤❤❤❤🥰🙋‍♀️

[@EC-dz3fb]

1:30 ... Aaaaaand he's gettin' 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨 it, folks! ♡

[@user-or1ye3iz6d]

My favorite song from Blondie (and there are SOO many greats from them) is "ATOMIC" (original video) 🔥🔥

[@markmcveigh3669]

and glad you are back and we'll.

[@brettberry7263]

Dude yeah Blondie was badass back in the day doing her thing beautiful beautiful voice!!! I've got some of her vinyl and a pretty kool 33rpm picture disc single. I really do enjoy your videos keep up your work! I have a question have you done any KISS songs? The early KISS albums with the original lineup being a kiss fan from the beginning everybody thinks of Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley singing but I'm curious what your thoughts would be about Peter Chris's playing & singing say Black Diamond, Nothin to Lose or Hard Luck Woman. Ace Frehley has some good songs Shock Me on KISS ALIVE II with his guitar solo I would definitely love to see your reaction to that . Also Parasite on the KISS ALIVE album. Ace and Peter never really had a lot of songs on an album. A majority of the time it was Gene and Paul and a collaboration of the band itself on some the rest would be background vocals. Some really good stuff they have their own sound just like so many others Blondie has her sound and no one else comes close to sounding anything like her music that is the same with KISS. KISS ALIVE II is a double album just like KISS ALIVE but the thing with the second live album they only had three sides live and a studio side on side four is where you will find Ace Frehley's song Rocket Ride. Just a big kiss fan. And of course a fan of yours . Looking forward to see some of the videos if you have already done them or if you do decide to do the reaction video. Take care and have a blessed and wonderful day.

[@willfromyadkinville]

Blonde is the group. Debbie Harry is the singer. she got the goods for sure!

[@margiegarcia9553]

Love your reaction! Thank you!

[@rickapplequist6078]

Hoping for a reaction video to T’PAU Heart and Soul. Love Blondie/ Debbie Harry

[@tomlorenz7283]

Love her my first music crush

[@3rdlegbrigade258]

Love the vibes from this tune…

[@Mirror_Freak]

Still love and listen to Blondie, in my 40's, their best track imo. Missed your reactions man, hopefully you got a few more for us

[@wwekidder123]

She was definitely my first celebrity crush

[@ryanmccain1158]

Such a classisc song.

[@soniab8109]

Yay! You're back! I hope that you and your family are doing great 🙂

[@Brat0064]

So glad to see you back at it!💕

[@lindamaxwell9722]

Love a good chair dance!

[@Fairygrl_TW]

Hey J, Havent been on for a while, dealing with medical hell...Hope the family is well...Yeah, an awesome Jam, Blondie was so amazing, Icon classic female rocker. Miss ur reactions, was so good to see ya. Thanks so much for a fun blast from the past. Peace

[@jesselobo3213]

Good to see you reacting again. I hope to see more. Take care.

[@spend4zen1]

I love Blondie, I grew up on this music, I always wanted to be her. It's ok if your video skips a little bit to get the sound, my 8track tape of this album did the same thing, LOL I need to check out your all video's to see if You have reacted to Rapture yet.

[@dawnschare]

Welcome back! Hope you and your family are doing fan-tab-ulous!

[@tod1way]

Ah, but you are listening to the censored version. They have sense put back the original, where after the "ooh, whoa" she sings, "once I had a love and it was a gas... soon turned out, to be a pain in the ass". I guess KZbin made them change it for a little. I love to watch reaction videos, especially those who listen to Blondie. They're my favourite band and I truly enjoy seeing positive responses. Thank you! You really have a keen ear for and appreciation of music.

[@SunShine-qk4rb]

Great song.

Blondie is the name of the band, the singer is Debbie Harry.

[@davidcruz8667]

Blondie is the name of the group, her name is Debbie Harry.

[@larrymartinez667]

The song was originally called pain in the ass, but the record company wanted it more radio friendly that's why in the third part she says it turned out to be a pain in the ass.

[@KevinWalsh-m7w]

No. The line " Pain in ass " was edited out but now and then it gets played complete. Debbie Harry is NOT Blondie. The Entire group is Blondie.

[@KevinWalsh-m7w]

No

[@ginaarendtson9478]

“ soon found out he was a pain in the ass” is dubbed out of the video.

[@user-or1ye3iz6d]

You can still see her lips say it at one point 😂

[@delugesofgrandeur]

This man wylin.

[@dlbeal]

Hey, welcome back!!

[@jzaspal]

baby u cant go wrong with a little #Heart in ur life! try magic man or barracuda! ❤️

[@FrankTheOcean]

Ma boi was *feeling* the beat!😂😭

[@shirley34]

Yeah this sure is a great song, as I was an 80’s teenager, wasn’t a fan of blondie but some of her songs were good

[@jolenewitzel7919]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@NSBlack_Stallion]

@cezar63 I caught that too. It’s a damn shame a record company would do that on KZbin when we can download it complete for free. Guess some people won’t pass up a chance to be assholes.

[@dannwalker9865]

Please check out a song by KRS-ONE that features Blondie. It's called Step Into A World and it's a BANGER!! 💯🔥🎶🎵❤️❤️

[@TROJAN-SKIN54-46]

Rome you have the same look on your face as I did back in 1978 .only for the first minutes or so I just sat with my mouth open my my my To be 14 again and in love❤️

[@markr1574]

[@ranieraandreoli4478]

❤

[@thorzzz1z]

Rome, my man. Where have you been?

[@BM4-Life]

Hello, Rome Life Reactions I like to request BAND-MAID ‘Don't you tell ME’ official live video please! Could you also give me a shoutout for introducing them to you? BAND-MAID is an all female Japanese hard rock/metal band that dresses up as cafe maids 😆But these ladies are no joke and play harder than the guys most of the time. These ladies have 40M views on reaction channels alone so If you don’t mind thousands of rock and metal heads coming to your channel you may want to check em out!

[@gerardcote8391]

Check out this song I think it will blow you away Lovebites Shadowmaker - kzbin.info/www/bejne/eKPQoJ-kaqyrq9U and this is a song much like the Blondie song 9 Muses "Glue" (it's in Korean select close cation for English lyrics) kzbin.info/www/bejne/f2KcYqVmmrGXmZY

[@user-or1ye3iz6d]

❤️🙌

[@gerardcote8391]

Check out Blondie "Call Me" kzbin.info/www/bejne/iaWuh4Zmmq5ra6s and then immediately listen to Black Sabbath Ozzy Osbourne "Children of the Grave" kzbin.info/www/bejne/qIOUn42CmrafZ6M Then Comment

[@kevincrain5780]

Give Blondies Dreaming, Shayla, ATOMIC! A listen. From Eat to the Beat.

[@mckeek8115]

Back in the day Deborah Harry was so hot, she could melt steel.

[@bartstarr100]

Blondie isn't a person. her name is Debbie Harry.

[@nicolem376]

Interesting side note: Debbie Harry was almost a victim of Ted Bundy but she escaped him.

[@Jadguy24]

Have you done Blondie Rapture, then check out the mashup Rapture Riders

[@rickyhubbard9261]

Go back and look at your dates ,she was the one that started the Rap scene.

[@richardtaylor6187]

How lovely and talented was she?!?! The 3rd verse is dubbed over. She actually sings: Was a pain the ass, Had a heart of glass. Read her lips. Political correctness at its worst!

[@bobbiebabb9305]

You'd bust a gut on stevie nicks

[@cathierockey5123]

I always thought Debbie Harry's voice was amazing! Check out their song Rapture. It features Grand Master Flash. I know he wrote the rap part.

[@caideushex5204]

They don't make music like this any more....

[@rveino2978]

Hey buddy have you checked out RareEarth.This band will I certainly surprise.Plus check out redbone watch live peace out

[@jimschender4497]

[@kevincrain5780]

Wtf! Blondie were not hams! They were serious musicians. Making classic rock music

[@guyinsf]

What on earth are you talking about? LOL
