Even as a straight woman I have to agree: she's freaking scrumptious. But please let's not lose sight of how amazing her voice is - she's so so so talented, her beauty is just the icing on the cake
Blondie has a multitude of styles-pop, disco, rock, punk, and yes, even rap. All are fantastic! Check out more from them. And Debbie Harry is smokin hot in all of them. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
The first Rap song ever to chart was her song “Rapture” which was the second single off the project and became a huge commercial success. The single spent two weeks on top of the Billboard Hot 100 and was the first number one hit in music history to feature rap vocals
New Wave was HOT in 1978-1980! Missing Persons "Words", Bow Wow Wow "I Want Candy", The Waitresses "I Know What Boys Like" and "Square Pegs", Blondie "Rapture" and " Dreaming".
This band was fire. She was a Star, capital "S", and the band was underrated. Their songs were well-written, top-notch producing, and impeccably executed. I still have a crush on her, from about 1982. She was a force of nature, and the band rocked, or was smooth, whatever they needed, they were REALLY good. And this is definitely disco. This band went a lot of places with their music. Disco, rap, pop, rock ,new-wave, punk..... Amazing, but she was out of this world. What a talent. After starring with her in the movie, "Videodrome", James Woods said that she would have been an Superstar actress, if that was what she wanted to do. What a voice! Top 5 Iconic women rock or punk voices all time. I could give my 5 if asked. Okay, now that you've asked, 1) Amy Lee, 2) Ann Wilson, 3) Floor Jansen, 4)Stevie Nicks, 5) Debbie Harry
Debbie Harry looks like she could be one of my Aunts back in the 70s. Uncanny resemblance. My mom used to listen to this while cleaning the house when I was a kid.
Love Blondie the first time I heard her voice. The beat and style is timeless. You could put this song out today and it would still sound new. I loved Call Me, Heart of Glass, The Tide is high, Rapture, One way or another... I feel the same as you do I thought she was absolutely smokin'.
She did NOT just sing Rapture She was the FIRST RAPPER ever to have a number 1 rap hit in HISTORY. NOT Sugarhill Gang. She is also the first one to put a rap video on MTV when MTV was a rock channel. Rapture. She also sang at COACHELLA 2023 and still tours and is beautiful at 79. No joke. They were a punk rock band first. Blondie still tours quite often. She use to live in a walk up tenament in the East Village NYC while doing shows and touring at the time this video was made. The East Village was where all the punk rockers lived up until the mid to late 90s. I cant remember anymore but think she lived on 7th st by Ave B? Regardless, I use to see her often. Blondie was voted the most beautiful woman in the world in the 70's by Vogue(?) or whichever magazine. Blondie escaped a serial killer once giving her a ride by jumping out of his car at a red light. She also is one of the first girls to set the hairstyle trend that you see everywhere today (mixed colors half blonde half black hairstyle and the shag cut) and yes that is Studio 54. Best club EVER!!! She also modeled and has a lot of shockingly gorgeous photos if you type Blondie Images and even nude. She was and still is confident and is extremely smart with a high I.Q.. She is streetwise (you had to be living in the Village back then) and daring. Blondie is the Queen. Period. Her style her swag her music her hair her clothing her makeup so many try to mimic as I type this today and it's her image that is used as the palet. Literally. You will see Blondie photos in salons, boutiques and on walls everywhere here in NY and across the globe. Blondie is a trendsetter. Shes a beast.
Blondie group lead singer - Debbie Harry... It is hard to believe she is like ... 78 yrs old currently and still doing concerts. She sure was HOT in her day for sure and this video is only looking dated by the guys in the group and NOT the look of Debbie ... whose look here is flawless and timeless for a video and song that came out like 44 yrs ago.
Blondie blended together a bunch of different genres in a novel way and were hugely influential To me their best song is one that's not super well known it's called dreaming And Debbie Harry...
You guys are cool cats and make an entertaining team! Tonight is the first time I've seen your videos and you had me laughing and enjoying your grooves.
"New wave" era was great. I like most of the bands that came from CB-GB. The NYC dive bar in the 70's. Back then they were all called punk. Blondie, Ramones, Talking Heads, Television, Richard Hell, Dead Boys... I recommend Ramones "Psychotherapy" music video
This song was actually a last-minute thought to finish the album. It was based on a song they had been playing around with for years, but never felt they could get quite right. Much of the musical direction was provided by Mike Chapman, the producer. However, the vocal style was Debbie's idea. She surprised the whole band when she started singing in a higher register, and the rest is history.
This really is not the typical blondie sound. they went with the disco phase pretty hard in the later 70's. hell, even the stones put out a disco album (look it up). if you listen to some of the songs on "parallel lines", (like sunday girl, or fade away and radiate) you would get a better understanding of what they are musically, and style wise. this wasn't their new wave, or punk phase. this band transitioned towards the money. parallel lines is one of the finest albums as a whole of its time.
Not only was she tight with fab five Freddy she was also tight with Grand Master Flash .in the song Rapture after she shouts out Freddy she shouts out Flash.”Flash is fast,Flash is cool “
They started out early in the NY Punk scene, turned disco because it was commercially viable, and punk fans didn't pay (they'd rip off bands at Live performances, and not buy any products). They were Pop, New Wave, Rap, etc., but kept their Punk edge. Debra Harry had a helluva voice --> SHAYLA, MARIA, FLIGHT 45 (bermuda triangle blues), DREAMING, etc. and they had a great performance of RING OF FIRE in Meat Loaf's 1980 film "Roadie". You should like Tears For Fears with such music videos as EVERYBODY WANTS TO RULE THE WORLD, HEAD OVER HEELS and MAD WORLD.
Oh yes, pls react to their "Rapture". Hmm you might also want to check out "Middle Of The Road" by The Pretenders , "Words" by Missing Persons, "No More Words" and "Metro" by Berlin, "Head Over Heels" and "Turn To You" by The Go-Gos.
Blondie's music has a bit of a dreamlike quality to it. And Blondie was Punk, not disco. They experimented with many different genres and sounds: that's why it's hard to pin them down.
Blondie introduced the world to rap. Before the Furious five, and Curtis Blow got their sound out of Brooklyn and the Bronx, Blondie took this straight to CBGB;s in Manhattan;s lower East side and into homes of America before there was MTV.
the original working title of this was "the disco song" . the band hated it and only did it as kind of a mockery of disco tunes of the day. Then it went gold.
Now that you've seen/heard Blondie's original, you MUST see Postmodern Jukebox's cover with Addie Hamilton. I LOVE BLONDIE'S VERSION but, Addie adds a sensual twist that I think that you'll like . . .
This was a slower reggae - style song originally to try and get a slice of the action at the time, but their producer said NO WAY and disco-fied it! The rest is history!
Call it what you want but it's still disco to me. Talented and cool but still disco😂 She's sexy as hell and that's why we watched but us rockers downplayed disco every chance we got!
Even as a straight woman I have to agree: she's freaking scrumptious. But please let's not lose sight of how amazing her voice is - she's so so so talented, her beauty is just the icing on the cake
She was/is stunning to look at, and fun to listen to. Loveliest face in video.
As a straight male, I feel the same way about Tom Jones as you do about Deborah Harry. :)
"call me" was another smash hit from the group blondie
yeah. that, or hanging on the telephone would be a much better introduction to blondie. her disco stuff gets all the attention.
Blondie has a multitude of styles-pop, disco, rock, punk, and yes, even rap. All are fantastic! Check out more from them. And Debbie Harry is smokin hot in all of them. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Debbie Harry is still the coolest thing on 2 feet. Love her
The first Rap song ever to chart was her song “Rapture” which was the second single off the project and became a huge commercial success. The single spent two weeks on top of the Billboard Hot 100 and was the first number one hit in music history to feature rap vocals

Love listening to Missing Persons
Berlin also a good group
@@ItsTimeToSaveAmerica Walking in LA is a banger ✌💖☮
@@SquirminHermanthe1eyedGerman yes it is! 😊
my days...... luv um
Thanks for the great reaction, guys! Can't wait for you to do "Rapture", and soon! ✌💙✌

Glad you found an uncensored clip. A lot of versions overdub “Heart of Glass” over the time she says “pain in the ass”. Kudos.
They had tons of hits and I had a huge crush on Debbie. IMO Maria is one of there best songs.
debbie harry was and always the queen in pop culture❤
Debbie Harry killed it ever time she took the stage!!
Debbie Harry looks like she could be one of my Aunts back in the 70s. Uncanny resemblance. My mom used to listen to this while cleaning the house when I was a kid.
Loved Blondie, TY for the great reaction and fond trip down memory lane!
Love Blondie the first time I heard her voice. The beat and style is timeless. You could put this song out today and it would still sound new. I loved Call Me, Heart of Glass, The Tide is high, Rapture, One way or another... I feel the same as you do I thought she was absolutely smokin'.

Blondie defied all genres... just great music ahead of its time
Blondie group lead singer - Debbie Harry... It is hard to believe she is like ... 78 yrs old currently and still doing concerts. She sure was HOT in her day for sure and this video is only looking dated by the guys in the group and NOT the look of Debbie ... whose look here is flawless and timeless for a video and song that came out like 44 yrs ago.
She is a year older than my mom, and my mom is near death in a care home right now.
Blondie blended together a bunch of different genres in a novel way and were hugely influential
To me their best song is one that's not super well known it's called dreaming
And Debbie Harry...
Great choice!
Debbie and Blondi were the first non rappers to rap in the United States with the song Rapture.
Although I love Debbie Harry (how could you not?), Clem Burke's tight, steady drumming on this track is the real star of the show.
Every British schoolboys dream back in the 80's.
Now that I'm older, I can't help noticing how she is "seducing" me with those subtle eyes and crafty little smile. Loved this song since day one.
The disco era had an innocence about it.
Less crime, lower bills, more freedom.
Used to have her up on my bedroom wall. A poster I mean 😊
A timeless classic!
You guys are cool cats and make an entertaining team! Tonight is the first time I've seen your videos and you had me laughing and enjoying your grooves.
Unique band and talented band with a great vibe. I like The Tide is High. Great reaction!
My favorite Blondie song is a Tom try listening to that one. Gia, the famous supermodel is in that video.
My favorite from the late 70’s to early 80’s. This was originally a reggae song but the producer turned it into a disco song.
god, I was 12 and I fall in deep love to Debby Harry :)
Their song "Rapture" was the first song with 'rap' lyrics to get to number 1 in 1981.
God this brought back some memories right from the start. Every teenagers crush, she worked as a playboy bunny at a club.
"New wave" era was great. I like most of the bands that came from CB-GB. The NYC dive bar in the 70's. Back then they were all called punk. Blondie, Ramones, Talking Heads, Television, Richard Hell, Dead Boys... I recommend Ramones "Psychotherapy" music video
Debbie Harry was guest singer on Ramones song Lil Camaro. I think you will like it. It's kind of an 80's throwback to 60's surf songs
This song was actually a last-minute thought to finish the album. It was based on a song they had been playing around with for years, but never felt they could get quite right. Much of the musical direction was provided by Mike Chapman, the producer. However, the vocal style was Debbie's idea. She surprised the whole band when she started singing in a higher register, and the rest is history.
Parallel lines was the first album on vinyl I bought, still one of my favourite albums, every track is great
Another Great Bombastic reaction from the Dynamic Trio...thanks y"all
I would say this song has a distinct disco, feel to it any everybody had that one disco song, even Rod Stewart and kiss
54 must have been such a cool club with all the celebs.
Awww nice you guys did Heart Of Glass! One of my favs . “I Can’t Wait “ by Nu Shooz is another banger from the clubs in DC in the 90s .
DEBBIE HARRY STUNNING INCREDIBLE VOICE BLONDIE BRILLANT BAND BETTER THAN THE CRAP NOWADAYS
You guys would like I Want Candy by Bow Wow Wow. And, Ollie can freak out because the singer was something like 15 years old. Can't remember.
First 7’ record I ever bought and decided I’d be her toy boy , still waiting as an old man
Blondie "ATOMIC" ❤
Blondie was fantastic! And Debbie Harry?? Just amazing!!! This song has to be one of the best songs ever!!!!
This is such a cool song.
This really is not the typical blondie sound. they went with the disco phase pretty hard in the later 70's. hell, even the stones put out a disco album (look it up). if you listen to some of the songs on "parallel lines", (like sunday girl, or fade away and radiate) you would get a better understanding of what they are musically, and style wise. this wasn't their new wave, or punk phase. this band transitioned towards the money. parallel lines is one of the finest albums as a whole of its time.
Not only was she tight with fab five Freddy she was also tight with Grand Master Flash .in the song Rapture after she shouts out Freddy she shouts out Flash.”Flash is fast,Flash is cool “
Rapture is coming

A Goddess
It's about the mood and vibe they set, it's a very sneaky song.
Deborah Harry was Fire back in the day. On July 1 she will be 78.
You look good in Blue and She's so dull... my favs
I agree it just works.
Before going into the studio, the song was originally a reggae song
She still looks scrumptious ! By the way Blondie identifies as punk.
Oh yeah!
My favorite Blondie song that I used to roller skate too :)
They were known as a punk band… need to check out their early work
Blondie's music has a bit of a dreamlike quality to it. And Blondie was Punk, not disco. They experimented with many different genres and sounds: that's why it's hard to pin them down.
BLONDIE:
"One Way Or Another"
"Dreaming"
When you have the best drummer in the world "Clem burke" any song sounds great!
It's a fabulous song. Thanks so much for the review ☺.
Wow those were the days, down the memory lane.. 😊
Good song, but Rapture would have been my first choice for a Blondie song.
Same here.😄 Rapture is my fav from them.
Picture This
Hanging on the Telephone
Dreaming
Call Me
Sunday Girl
....and this way before Rapture
I always considered Rapture the first rap 🎵 song.
Blondie is such a goddess! Great reactions dudes!
Have you ever heard Fiona Apple?
"If you ain't Fiona Apple, I don't give a rat's ass" - South Park th-cam.com/video/TFG1mHtuk4w/w-d-xo.html
Check out "One Way or Another". She's a tough punk.
Blondie introduced the world to rap. Before the Furious five, and Curtis Blow got their sound out of Brooklyn and the Bronx, Blondie took this straight to CBGB;s in Manhattan;s lower East side and into homes of America before there was MTV.
Studio 54 Dj's loved mixing this song to dance 🕺 ♥️ to.
I have the album the this single is off and i must say theat debbie harry was fyre back ina da day
the original working title of this was "the disco song" . the band hated it and only did it as kind of a mockery of disco tunes of the day. Then it went gold.
Now that you've seen/heard Blondie's original, you MUST see Postmodern Jukebox's cover with Addie Hamilton. I LOVE BLONDIE'S VERSION but, Addie adds a sensual twist that I think that you'll like . . .
It’s just good!
To This Day If A DJ Drops This The Dance Floor Goes Nuts, When I Was A Kid This Was On Our Mixed 4 Track My Dad Mixed From Vinyl!!
Debbie Harry is gorgeous and has a pretty voice. Great front woman.
Debra Harry was sexy without even trying. Got to see them in Atlanta and they were great live.
She’s still on tour again! In her 70s and still looks good, for a 70 year old. 😂
Would love to see your reaction to Jaki Graham, Round and Around- fantastic British artist and an absolute banger of a hit, you won't be disappointed.
Love ya guys
Love you back!!! Thanks for the support!!
Hey hey - New Wave, same era - maybe some Talking Heads? ‘Once In A Lifetime’ would be a great choice
She was hardcore punk, living and hanging near CBGBs....she rose above it all....
was at the end of disco, interesting times, lol
Taylor Swift could play Debbie Harry in a movie. They look a lot alike!
Wait till you hear them in their original punk form. Detroit 442 will melt your face off. You do know Debbie usually doesn't sound like that, right?
🙌
Aktually she is Deborah.the band is Blondie. I just had to do it!
Its roller rink grab a girl and double skate back in the 80s
Great song! My fav is Rapture. My goodness she was gorgeous on top of that enormous talent as well.
USA roller rink back in the 80s
Early Blondie was more punk and switched to new wave
Rapture was the first #1 Song that had Rap... Sugar Hill Gang .. Rappers Delight was the first Rap song to chart
This was a slower reggae - style song originally to try and get a slice of the action at the time, but their producer said NO WAY and disco-fied it!
The rest is history!
The singer's name is Deborah Harry. The band's name is Blondie. Common mistake.
Rapture is considered the first commercial rap song.
I have been listening to and loving this song since it came out. And I have to admit that I have no idea what half of the words are. Lol
Please do more live Rolling Stones.
👌
Call it what you want but it's still disco to me. Talented and cool but still disco😂
She's sexy as hell and that's why we watched but us rockers downplayed disco every chance we got!
She was also a Playboy Bunny.
Blondie... sexy as all hell! Clem Burke is the whole band.
