First Time Listening To Blondie- "Heart Of Glass" (REACTION)

[@bpankey1976]

The Rapture by Blondie in 1980 was considered the very first major label song to have hip hop, rap elements & Deborah Harry was considered the first female to rap on a song. The first rap song was King Tim III (The Third) by the Fatback Band in 1978 followed by Rappers Delight by Sugar Hill Gang also in 1980

[@michaelmckenna7109]

Rapture was the first rap song to hit the number one spot in America. It was also the very first ever rap song to be played on MTV on the first few hours of it airing. Rappers Delight by The Sugar Hill Gang was a hit on both sides of the Atlantic in 1979 as was Blondies Rapture in 1980.

[@jamiemitchell8281]

Great reaction! The band Blondie also did Call Me which won them a Grammy in 1980. She is a true original! Thanks Greg!

[@bpankey1976]

Deborah Harry was 33 when she recorded this song. She is now 77 years old she still is a beautiful woman

[@troyshilanski380]

Lol way back she reminded me of my parents.

[@josefschiltz2192]

To hear that makes us of a certain generation feel really quite old! 😞

[@jgilbertify]

This was when Talent Ruled.. you didn't get a record contract unless you had something special....................

[@hdwarrior8830]

Holy cow, I haven't heard this song in 20 years but I still knew all the lyrics!

[@johnclibbens6803]

The singer is Debbie Harry (Blondie is the name of the band).

[@fishfootface]

This takes me back to my youth. I loved Blondie and Debbie Harry's singing. They never took themselves too seriously. A whole lot of talent.

[@cdfdesantis699]

The band Blondie & lead singer Debbie Harry combined rock, disco, & techno sounds in their music. Songs to react to: "Rapture", "Call Me", & "One Way Or Another". These will get you started. Thanks for this one.

[@greg2976]

80's new wave music cracks me up!!!! their robotic moves was classic back then. Devo was one of many robotic groups!!!!

[@Roh_Echt]

*When Blondie was just starting out, their CBGB days, they leaned more toward Punk music. Then some of their songs swayed more toward 'disco/dance club' toward the end of the disco era. Want to hear an early song of theirs...try: Rip Her To Shreds. Popular Blondie songs are: One Way Or Another__The Tide Is High__Rapture__Maria__Call Me.*

[@angelskunk2206]

Yeah, she was the first person I heard rap on the radio with her song Rapture

[@pampennyworth]

My mum told me that when my older brother put up his Debbie Harry poster in 1980. She was changing his bed sheets more often. 😂

[@Diyprincesss]

She was an absolute Punk icon and had so many hits. I love 'Sunday Girl', 'The Tide is High' (old Ska song), 'One way or Another' etc. At the absolute height of their fame, Debborah Harry topped to look after her partner, the guitarist when was extremely sick. She made a lovely appearance with 'Maria' years later. She is still beautiful now at nearly 80!

[@Boatzilla2]

Glad you got the right version. In some videos and live performances they overdub that "pain in the ass" line. Great reaction. Thanks.

[@delg1211]

Yes! Most videos have it dubbed 😖 Social conservatives are infuriating

[@sixty7ford]

Don’t feel bad, I fell in love with Blondie in the 80s❤️

[@spede1]

Debbie's voice is pure perfection

[@hollywood3312]

'Shayla' is another of their lesser-known songs, but it sticks in my head. Seems to be about a suicidal girl who gets saved by aliens as she jumps off a bridge. Spacey and mysterious. I love it.

[@annesmith2259]

My favourite Blondie song

[@tricko8000]

My favorite one is Accidents Never Happen

[@hollywood3312]

@@tricko8000 Yes. another favorite of mine as well.

[@dagmar.6954]

They had a lot of great hits in the 70's-90's such as "Call Me", "Atomic", "The Tide Is High", “Rapture”, "One Way Or Another", "Picture This", "Hanging On The Telephone", "I'm Gonna Love You Too", "Sunday Girl", "Dreaming", "Island Of Lost Souls", "War Child", "Maria" etc.

[@angelado3]

[@nanettarodriguez7976]

More recently she did a song called "Maria"

[@markbelcher2121]

Just found you! Your selection is great. Tks

[@timbaker6540]

Roller Rink song Early 80s Good Times

[@user-or1ye3iz6d]

Blondie: "Atomic", "Rapture", "The tide is high", "Call me"... You'll get a taste of how eclectic their sound can be (Rap, punk, raggae, rock, pop...) Very talented band.

[@sandj8378]

Disco era. Gotta have a disco ball!

[@stephenireland3816]

I some versions on this video they dubbed out ass with glass lol She is stunning in this video😳

[@neldablanco1663]

Thanks for reacting to this!!!

I've always especially liked that beat skip myself...Blondie is 1of my FAVES FEMALE,,,

[@kekwayblaze3176]

Great reaction!

[@regularguy519]

Genuine reaction 👍

At 53 years old blondie always been in my top 10.

[@shannonwhite3721]

As a little 8yr old girl I'd dance around to this with my sequined shirt and satin pants. Feathers in my hair thinking I was Debbie Harry 😍❤️

[@michaelmckenna7109]

At 77 years old Debbie was singing with Billie Eilish a couple of weeks ago at the Hollywood Bowl. footage is on KZbin.

[@daveybaby8389]

she's kinda good at it :) ... nice when driving too

[@robertasirgutz8800]

Blondie is the band, she is Debbie Harry. A face that you can walk into, with the most deadpan delivery!

[@mirjamvond1731]

Yes 🙌

[@guyinsf]

Dang! Every boy in the 70s had the same reaction LOL

[@amyholman354]

You should hear her sing everything, but for another, "Sunday Girl".

[@petersp63]

Blondie are the Group!! Debbie Harry is the Singer!

[@jimschender4497]

Timeless. Is all I can say.

[@MaryEllen10862]

First I love your reactions to music from the past. If you like this you might love Bonnie Tylor total eclipse of the heart or holding out for a hero. Her raspy voice is just amazing. I hope you enjoying these eras of raw talent music.

[@konradv7]

“Pain in the Ass” was the working title of this song.

[@robertsterner2145]

Dreaming. Atomic. Call Me. In the Flesh.

[@dipsydoodle7988]

Blondie is a them, not a her. Singers name is Debbie Harry and she is a punk icon. This band started out punk, but they were always very experimental. They dabble in a lot of different genres. In fact, Heart of Glass was their “disco” song. Their typical sound and her singing style is very different from this, so next song you might just be like.. “who is this??” I’d start with Punk Blondie tbh. It’s such a 180 degrees from this. Should be fun. Detroit 442 is a good choice. Official video.

[@paulbentley1705]

Yea that shit is sweet. Check out "Dreaming."

[@TheRscorp]

I think I may have hit puberty to this song back in the day. And this poor guy with the cord hasn't lived this down for over 40 years now.

[@MarkSeydel]

Blondie is a band.

[@jamesboykin7319]

Check Debbie out in the movie Videodrome pretty twisted.

[@JoeB5150]

2:55 He's goofing around with an instrument cable by pretending as if he's making the "vibrating" synth sound in the background. Back in those days, instrument cables used to be "spiral" like old telephone cables

[@martinhamburg2301]

@@JoeB5150 actually if I remember correctly, when they were recording the song someone tripped over the cable and it made a weird noise and they included it into the song, thus the picking on the cable.

[@Uvray]

"Soon turned out to be a pain in the ass." Ain't that the truth, brother. 😁

[@geoffsullivan7902]

Oh yes, something different for sure. ❤️🎼❤️ …..soon found out…to be a pain in the ass…..that’s Deborah Harry for ya….she’s great right? Check out “ Call me”… that’s a good one, also” one way or another “ . Have fun!

[@obpadilla]

Limp Bizkit / Break stuff. A good introduction to 90 s crossover musi

[@LeRoy_from_Texas]

Check out these 4 Blondie's hits "Call Me" - "Rapture" - "One Way or Another" - "The Tide is High"

[@bpankey1976]

"The Rapture" Deborah Harry is still considered the first female rapper to rap in a song before Roxanne Shonte & Queen Latifah came along & changed the game

[@danicaobradovic846]

Blondie!!So many nice songs.For yang people,maybe it is noth so intresting.For olders it is conection with our childehood.Brighter life and times.Try to understand us!!

[@jamesbondbond8388]

Nex song RAPTURE by Blondie

[@josephcox736]

Call Me, The Tide is High, Rapture, Dreaming, Atomic, Shayla, Union City Blue...

[@anonyarena]

You might like the Blondie song Rapture if you like this. Or you might like Atomic, The Hardest Part, or Call Me.

[@StarlingRenee3498]

I grew up with Blondie, she actually has one that has a hint of rap style in it. One of the first in mainstream in the eighties. Can't remember the name of it, sorry. Lovin the choice of music Greg. Led Zeppelin is my all time favorite, might be a hard reaction choice but if it's possible... Rhec4life

[@yinzer]

"Rapture" is the song where she raps.

[@StarlingRenee3498]

Yes, thank you, Yinzer.
