Debbie's stage presence, talent, and beauty are other-worldly. Clem Burke is a monster on those drums. Amazing performance!

This song came out in 1979, and it still kicks ass in 2023. Blondie is just the coolest fu_king band with the most gorgeous lead singer. It doesn't get any cooler than that!!!😎😎😎😎😎☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️

Am glad you stressed 1979 for some reason many seem to think Blondie are an ‘80s band’ and they weren’t , very much the late 1970s ‘78 in paricular,was their heyday by the 80s their decline had set in.

Clem Burke is up to his usual routine: Holding the sound together with his astonishing drumming. Debbie Harry, of course, has a fantastic voice, and even commenting on that isuperfluous.

"precognition", "magi", "Fromaldahyde" .... what other writer gets words like this into a pop song ? Deb's lyrical writing is actually the most underrated aspect of all her great talents. IMHO, when you put the; looks, voice, fashion sense, aura, and then the lyrical writing ability all together ... she is the most gifted female artist package in rock history.
@j.r.12105 ай бұрын
This song was written by Jimmy Destri. Also, the word "formaldehyde" does not appear in the lyrics here.
@richardlefaive19445 ай бұрын
@j.r.1210 @j.r.1210 I stand corrected. I thought Deb wrote all of the lyrics for all Blondies tunes. Regards fromaldehyde ... I was pulling a compilation of some of the best lines from various songs ( this tune, heart of glass, etc.). So Jimmy deserves mad props here. This tune has a couple of the most unique and memorable lines in their whole catalog in this one.

it looked like she was really singing here altho the vocal did sound strangely perfect and seemed to have an effect on it but the end of the song was an instrumental fade out so obviously band wasnt live, maybe she wasnt either?

This song was lip-synched. Some other Blondie tunes on Midnight Special were live, but not this one.
Debra is probably the best front lady of a band. Clem Burke plays the drums like Angus Young plays his guitar.💜🤘

The one part I don't understand when it comes to lip-syncing is the drummer. Everyone is just pretending to sing and play their guitars and keyboards, but Clem there is really hammering away on those drums. How is that done?! Wouldn't the audience be hearing the soundtrack and the drummer playing live over his drums?! I don't get it. (By the way, this is such a great song, in my humble opinion.)
