Redhead Reacts to Blondie-Dreaming

[@kevinmichael8619]

This is my favourite Blondie song of all time. It is criminally overlooked

[@sanman00001]

My second favorite. My favorite is Sunday Girl but French version

[@allensaunders449]

Yep

[@mochs3869]

Drummer Clem Burke was an absolute monster on this track (and all Blondie tracks for that matter)!

[@mightyV444]

Great drummer indeed! 🤩 Later also was in the Eurythmics' live band for a while 🙂

[@markmoore236]

The drumming in this song is incredible!

[@petersp63]

Clem Did this in one take and didn't think it would be kept in!! Monster Drumming!

[@mfunk1007]

Great song. The lyrics, voice, drums all perfection

[@patrickdoolan9527]

Love the whole vibe! Clem Burke is legendary!

[@rowdyron4111]

OMG, had a crush on Debbie back in the day. She's awesome!! One of my favorite tunes they do.

[@nicholashylton6857]

You, me, and millions of teenagers of the era!

[@martinarscott3524]

yeah, join the queue lol, my favourite is Atomic :)

[@jadawa85]

Blondie is great! Debbie Harry is amazing! More! 😊

[@bjhvapes2703]

Huge Blondie fan. Had such a crush on her and later found out it was well deserved because she is such a great singer. She did some cool movies too. One of the best for sure.

[@pjimmbojimmbo1990]

Debbie was about 35 yrs old when this was recorded. She looked absolutely Incredible, and all things considered, still does...

[@willfromyadkinville]

lets get this party started right!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Blondie power!!!!!!!!!! every song of theres is a favorite of mine!!!!!!!!!! Clem Burke is a beast on the drums!

[@StephenDouthart]

Yip and this IS one of my favouritesl....loved your reaction! So many great songs One Way Or Another Call Me Denis Hanging On The Telephone Heart Of Glass Touched By Your Presence Dear Union City Blues....etc etc etc

[@denalinde]

I love Blondie! She’s still touring all these decades later too, amazing. 💜

[@pc6709]

Clem Burke. One of the most under the radar drummers ever. Sought after session guy, played with Blondie(obviously) The Romantics and a very, verrrrrrry short stint with The Ramones. He’s one of my favourites.

[@mightyV444]

He'd also been in the Eurythmics' live band for a while, in the late 80's 🙂

[@rmsmith2396]

mine too

[@StephenDouthart]

I seen him play with Annie Lennox away back in the day

[@markv1113]

Absolutely LOVE miss Harry. My favorite is a short little tune, "Hanging on the Telephone". Especially at the end... "Hang up then run to me", the last time she repeats it... Debbie showing her wild side, she wasn't just a Heart of Glass. LOL

[@WdyWP]

Had a crush on Debrah Harry many moons ago!!! I can still remember her poster on the wall. haha!!!

[@SnowDogisVictorious]

Who didn't? ; )

[@randallmccoy8581]

Blondie is still on my playlist. I love them. Clem Burke was a highly under rated drummer.

[@Thomas-rw9nt]

One of my favorite Blondie songs.

[@Aussiecris214]

BLONDIE heart of glass is awesome too .. Hi red your reaction was pricless ❤❤❤❤❤

[@SierraBravo347]

She always had a great voice, and her Attitude was awesome....ZERO F's given. 🔥❤

[@ChasBeauregarde]

I Love Blondie! I was in "young adult land" in this era of music. We saw them twice once in a club and once in Central Park. Very energetic show, Debbie Harry had an angelic voice. As you can hear, the rest of the band was very tight. A great age to go clubbin' with your friends. I'm glad I was there!

[@flea1683]

Love me some blondie Red, went to see them on what may have been their first tour here only a small venue. Great night out ❤

[@cyberrich]

Blondie owned the 80s they had number 1 songs in 4 genres 5 if you count punk. The genres were Rap Reggae New Wave and Disco

[@KennethSavage-nn2vv]

Clem Burke on drums… Fun reaction, nice memories of my younger years… 👊🏻

[@texassendero4901]

Heart of Glass and Call Me are both killer songs ❤ Thanks for This Red is a new fresh sound with the punk side of things and makes me think of the Skinner Brothers' they have that puck vibe as well 💯💯💯#blondie #debraharry #debbieharry #80smusic #80smusichits #redheadedneighbor #bestreactor #redsarmy #beautifulfuncountrygirl #31K #heartofgoldwithmetalinhersoul #bestbadjokes

My favorite female singer and second celebrity crush, do not even have to see her to know her voice. I have every LP and CD including some of the demo tracks.

[@spruce381]

[@AcornDomainsCancelled]

Blondie moment! 😂 ❤

[@Goddzi]

Love Blondie! In fact, I’m involved with trying to start a Blondie tribute band (just waiting on the keys player to recover from an operation). In my other more general covers band, we do Dreaming and Call Me. My favourite album is Eat to the Beat which starts with Dreaming. They released it as a video album, so there’s a vid for every single song on it. *side note…Clem Burke, the drummer, recently played with a local (to me [Yorkshire, England]) Blondie tribute band just before the real band played two dates at the Piece Hall in Halifax! Also, he was in Ramones for about three weeks as Elvis Ramone way back in either late 80s or early 90s

[@mightyV444]

Clem also had been in the Eurythmics' live band in the late 80's 🙂 I wish you all the best and loads of fun with your Blondie tribute band! 😀👍

[@MattLv5.6]

😊. Love it. Union City Blues. What a hottie she was 😊

[@brentd.4093]

There is no one like Debbie. What an icon.

[@maverick2242]

My Fav Blondie song they are all great this is very underrated commercially, it should have been a massive hit, but the market didn't get, they were so ahead of their time! So much is actually happening in this song and the video while simple also has allot going on! Lyrics are incredible Vocals, Debbie's attitude and energy (sure she was stoned, but who cares it rocks) plus who wasn't back then! I was too young but hey! what ya don't know wont hurt ya! Whole band smashed it with arrangement and tempo/pace and instrumentals are all insane! Clem Burke on drums as most will say is just incredible and still rocking and has played with so many great people and bands still today, anyone would love to have him play with them anyone! one of the nicest dudes in Rock ever. The video, simple setting but allot going on from Fab 5 Freddy to the girls and guys dancing, ya had fashion stylists, the girl with the snow googles on, I love that, the dresses the attitude girls back then were so classy yet Provocative with out being slutty on stage like today, no tat's (not anti tatoo's but its over done and no class today, no showing what not needed, just great energy, often over looked imo is the video! Band is just insane like all of them on a wave Dreaming, It still blows me away today! I love also you re did the drum section 3 times where Clem stands up and pounds to keep up with Debbies vocals often hate that., but not this time as you have an ear for instrumentals and that's rare with reactors! I played drums at school and even in a school end of year function, but then I wanted to play guitar, 2 years doing recorder ! travelling 1 1/2 hrs both ways after school to music lessons, dam I was good on a recorder, but sick of that travel I didn't go back to that class for 3rd year that was when they taught the guitar,! Got love the 70s, so structured and static in teaching. I could have learnt in days on youtube back then instead 2 years wasted playing a fracking recorder, gawd I hated that thing by the time I was done! Every time I watch Clem I wish I had stayed on drums ah joys of unspent youth! I digress, apologies! Thank you great reaction. 🤘

[@AaronCrawley-m3j]

Blondie has many great songs.such as.shayla.heart of glass.one way or another. union city blues.

[@icetech6]

I drum along with this song a few times a week... I am in love with Clems playing... Recently found a song of their called "The hardest part" which i am in love with....

[@Steve1016]

My favorite Blondie song? I think you just played it. And Sunday Girl, and Call Me, and..... You were right to replay the drums. Clem Burke on drums is incredible.

[@jamesrex3295]

❤I am loving this more punk rock side of you. It just blows my mind, but it is so good❤ I always did like the song call me❤ #redheadedneighbor #redsarmy #beautifulfuncountrygirl #bestreactor #31K #heartofgoldwithmetalinhersoul

[@thekookooman1991]

"Deborah Harry was the template for the modern female rock star"---absolutely! There was nothing like her when she dropped down from the Heavens in 1976. She changed the game.

[@mattmid7012]

Always enjoyed a bit of Blondie. I'm surprised you'd never heard this one. I used to like them even as a young kid watching the on Top of the Pops here. They were new wave, more than punk but had a bit of that punk energy to them. There's even a song where she rapped. They were generally 2-3 minute songs, so you could probably do 2 or 3 in one reaction if you wanted. Not sure which of theirs you might know but there's lots of good ones. A few off the top of my head... Hanging on the Telephone, Call Me, Atomic, Sunday Girl, Maria and Denis Denis.

[@DebbieFan70]

Debbie, is the most beautiful woman of all time AND Clem Burke on drums, is a monster! Glad you liked this!

[@cynthiamiller483]

I’ve always loved her music, but this was the era of raising kids and their songs were more important at the time. Also, I noticed the drummer was wearing a (maybe leisure) suit! So formal. You smiled the whole time through this song and I liked it!! 🎶 Cyd

[@quinjesuis9187]

There three that I love, the first I heard as a boy of 13 on the radio when the family would goto our local lake, I fell in love with this song because it was soooo different from the other songs, my ears were not to good; so I didn't catch all the words, if I had heard the song a really wouldn't have understood it much; but it was "Heart Of Glass" second would be "One Way Or Another" third would be "Call Me" these three are tattooed into my brain, this last one I heard just recently and it has that 50s sound that Doo-Wop style "In the Flesh" ❤️‍🔥 "Dreaming" is beyond awesome as well, it has that sound that is unique to the group Blondie 🌈 oh yes Blondie is absolutely beyond awesome 🔥 and Debbie Harris is phenomenally cool 💎

[@ianrose56]

Call me. Every school boy's favourite Blondie track back in the day.!!!! 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧👍👀

[@Stevedrums741]

I recently was playing this song in a cover band (I'm a drummer) and drumming-wise this is a very Keith Moon influenced song and criminally underrated as a drumming composition. It's also a test of arm strength to play. I love playing it. It's not as popular some of her other hits, but for my money this has always been my favorite and most genuine song of hers.

[@Misitheus]

Retired drummer here (60)......The rumor mill has it that drum composition was really just Clem Burke's warm up routine and he wasn't thrilled having to play it for an entire song....but here we are.....Peace!

[@nikosalmpanis-ty3jt]

Love Blondie Favorite song.. Rapture

[@paulryan9640]

Best drummer ever

[@balloonfarm5903]

This was my introduction to the band Blondie when it hit the radio in ‘77? I’ve been a huge fan ever since. This is obviously an autobiographical piece about their goals and ambitions I would say they achieved them. Clem Burke’s drumming is very much influenced by the late drummer of the Who , Keith Moon; in fact Clem still has a framed photo of Keith in his dressing room for inspiration wherever he performs. He’s the greatest rock drummer today and has been for decades as far as I’m concerned. Thanks for posting Red.🥰

[@InBetweenLife70]

Gotta love a simple song that makes you ... demands you get up and dance and shout the lyrics.

[@mightyV444]

I reckon this song must've been a massive inspiration for The Killers when they composed 'Mr Brightside', which has that exact same effect 😀 Similar melody in the chorus, too! 😄

[@jamesstevens4795]

Slow motion is an awesome tune

[@bradsullivan2495]

More Blondie: "The Hardest Part" "One Way or Another" "Heart of Glass" "The Tide is High" "Rapture" "Sunday Girl""

[@pjimmbojimmbo1990]

Burke certainly earned the Nickname, Machine Gun, for his Drumming on this Song. My Fav Blondie Song

[@KawaTony1964]

Hardly anyone reacts to this Blondie song. They should. I forgot how good this one is. I've never seen the live version, either. The live version is better.

[@JennRighter]

Everyone always reacts to Rapture or Heart of Glass. I give credit that you’re reacting to this song, it’s beautiful. But man, Shayla, Union City Blues, In the Sun, Detroit 242. It’s like all the best Blondie songs got lost along the way for some reason.

[@johncarlin8755]

First record I bought brilliant

[@lawrencefitzgerald]

Clem Burke drumming iconic here

[@JeffDeLong-r6i]

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

Cant go wrong with Deborah Harry or Chrissy Hynde both are Legendary female Rockstars

Dang! And now I also finally know why the melody in the chorus of The Killers' 'Mr Brightside' had sounded so familiar to me from the start! I bet it was influenced by _this_ song's! 😀

Great choice! 🤩👍 When I was 9 years old, I watched them perform their Hit 'Heart Of Glass' on the TV, and looking at Debbie Harry (b. Angela Trimble), I suddenly knew there was _more_ to girls than them just being silly and annoying 😅

[@TonyPucci11]

I've been in bands for the last 40 years. One of the truisms of being in a band is this...If you don't have a good drummer, you will never have a good band. Clem Burke is as important to Blondie as Debby Harry is. Think about your favorite band, it's always the case!
