Jay & Amber, you'll love their "One Way Or Another" and "Hanging On The Telephone" !!! Bangers!!!
Dreaming is a Blondie banger, too!
@@SharonC225 Yes, "Dreaming" is a favorite and I'm sure Jay and Amber would love it. THere's a good video of them performing it on "Top of the Pops" British TV show. "Hanging on the Telephone" is super too ( though it's a cover and not a Blondie original ).

Its funny Hanging on the telephone was considered a flop when released as a single. It was a huge hit on the dance floors were I grew up
@@glenchapman3899 The original by The Nerves was a flop in 1976. Blondie's 1978 cover reached #5 in the UK.
I love Debbie Harry. When she was the biggest female rock artist, her boyfriend got very ill and she put her career on hold to nurse him back to health. That speaks volumes to the kind of beautiful heart and soul she has. She's obviously supremely talented, and stunningly beautiful- -even to this day, but she showed how beautiful she is on the inside too. From the moment I heard that she had stopped everything to take care of him, my admiration for her went through the roof.
I had a girlfriend that worked as a nurse at the hospital Chris Stein was in while sick. (This was years before I dated her.) She told me that Debbie Harry was always at the hospital, basically living there. That she was indeed a caring loving person and deeply devoted to him. Very polite and respectful to staff too. She was a person with a sick loved one, not a rock star, no pretenses or attitude.
yes, i remember that, they both where young by tha time her boyfriend gets ill, he sufers an rare illnes calll vitiligo, by that time they where on the top of the charts, no doubt, Debora Harry is a realy good person, and to this present day her and her boyfriend still together,
Yes, and she is no "dumb blonde" either. Check-out her old talk show interviews. The hosts were often.put off guard because she frequently expressed very deep and well thought out opinions on a variety of difficult political topics
@@luismetal8912 Actually they are no longer together. Her BF ended up marrying someone else and he's got I think 2 kids from that marriage. Debbie remained single after they broke up but she dated others but nothing serious since. her relationship with Chris Stein.
This is new wave. We called this new wave back then. A mixture of punk, pop and other stuff.
Blondie is considered a New Wave band, although the styling of their major hits vary greatly. The majority of their catalog has a new wave feel. Blondie perfectly marked time with the New Wave era, which started late in the disco era (their first hit, Heart of Glass, is a disco song) and ended with the rise of rap (Rapture was their last hit).
The new wave/post punk label obviously comes from when and where they came up , with Talking Heads, Television etc at CBGBs etc but they became one of a kind, peerless during that Era for pop masterpiece after pop masterpiece, as did talking heads to be fair, though much as I love TH blondie were another level
Blondie, the Ramones , Talking Heads and Television were the first bands to play CBGBs, so they started Punk, even if the Ramones are the only band that would fit that label now
@@BGNOLA most New Wave bands had their roots in punk.
@@BGNOLA starting punk is debatable, rocket from the tombs were a year or two earlier, as were MC5 and the UK started almost simultaneously, people in many different places all reacted to the stagnation of some parts of the early 70s music scene
@@swfcocs1 yeah I'm talking about punk as we think of it now, though there were the antecedents (I put "Agitated" by the Electric Eels from Cleveland as the first real punk single)
Actually Blondie started as a punk band back in the mid 70s and they along with Talking Heads shared the house band title for famed punk club CBGBs for a couple years. Then they decided to be "popular" and moved closer to New Wave and pop in their music output. Great band though. Very tight sound. Debra Harry still is around and even performs now and then, mostly around NYC which has been her/their home base since forever.
'Atomic' is One of my favourite Blondie songs. You guys should check out 'Dreaming'! Some of the best drums ever on a song. Clem Burke, the drummer is channeling Keith Moon and going 88 MPH on those skins!
Totally agree, Clem Burke on "Dreaming" is an awesome display of his talent. Obviously, Harry was the star of the band and central focal point, but Burke, in my opinion was the straw that stirred the drink, as they say.
Yes! Atomic is a great song; but my favorite Blondie song is Dreaming. And yes, the drums are relentless.
@@rpg7287 Dreaming is also my favourite! The relentless drums might be why 'Gates of Steel' is my favourite DEVO song!
Fvck yeah he was !!!!!!
Agreed, Clem Burke is an amazing drummer, very underrated
Debbie Harry IS Female Friday: the voice, the style, the cheekbones, the songwriting, and so, so, SO cool. I loved this song from the jump, and it's still one of my favorites. Thank you for the reaction, and thank you for featuring it on Female Friday!
Especially them cheekbones
& she can act! 🥰
How about reacting to some Kate Bush?
@@clivenewman4810 They did - I think it was "Wuthering Heights," "Women's Work," and "Running Up that Hill."
I *think* they reacted to all those.
@@laurabrevitz3944 I only subscribed in May.Hope the reviews were positive.
Atomic is definitely in my top three of Blondie songs. As far as I can see, you haven't reacted to 'Hanging on the Telephone' yet? You might like that. Also try 'One Way or Another' ( strangely upbeat and catchy - despite the subject matter being a bit dark...which I guess is the effect Blondie was going for!).
This is my favorite Blondie song. There are so many good Blondie songs to choose from. ✌️❤️
In my top three.
I think Fade Away and Radiate is my favorite.
Rapture
Mine too!
Me too❤❤❤
Mine too. Gia Carangi was in this video ❤
Blondie... punk-disco pop at it's finest. 😎
Saw Blondie play in Ireland back in 2017, just days before her 72nd birthday. She was absolutely incredible.
still has cheekbones that could cut glass
Jay and Amber, thanks for getting back to Blondie. A few others songs of theirs to check out, Dreaming, One Way or Another and The Hardest Part
Love to see your reaction to “One Way or Another” or “Dreaming”. “Maria” from ‘99 is definitely recommended too! Remember, Blondie is the band, not Debbie. 😊
Edited for ‘99 not ‘98.
Yes Maria!
@@mysticpizza02 Wait till you see her!
This is one of my all time favourite songs. That driving beat, the cymbal sound, the bass and Debbie's voice. Magnificent.
Fabulous choice people.
Cheers, Paul.👍😁📀❤️
This is my favorite Blondie song and so few people know about it! So glad you listened!!!! 🥰
It's very well known in the UK. It went to number 1 there.
You must have been under a rock. This song was a huge hit.
@@onlyme064 Maybe just young. Atomic is my favourite Blondie song too - I love the riffs and the way her voice goes down way low for "atomic".
Literally Blondies most famous song, but go on
It just made the Top 40 in the U.S. but hit No. 1 in the UK. You can never go wrong with Debbie Harry & Blondie. Clem Burke is one of the greatest drummers in R&R history! LEGENDS!
Burke is so overlooked! Accidents Never Happen is propelled like a rocket by his drumming.
Was big in Australia, heart of glass reached number one here 1979
We Love Debbie Harry She's Still A Force to be Reckoned With. Punk Goddess
This track was played regularly at a club I used to go to in London called “kinky disco” in the early 90s and trust me when you’ve dropped a couple of “disco biscuits” this track hits it!!❤
One of my favorites from Blondie! Even better for me is DREAMING! ✌
I LOVE Dreaming! Short but so great!
Wholeheartedly agree.
i know that Blondie song, si a mix of romántico and fin ay the dame time, for me Débora Harry and the banda blondi where ahead of their time, and they Performa allá types of músic rock, disco, balad, pop You mame it, onen of the great banda of allá times
The best of Blondie's songs. Way ahead of its time too.
I heard every one of Blondie's hit songs as they came out. I think this is their best song, by far. Better than the later hits. Absolutely groundbreaking, in its sound.
Truth
Blondie came out of the New York Punk scene at CBGB’s, they moved to London in the early Seventies where they were heavily influenced by the New Wave movement. This was a definite club banger, everybody up and bopping. ✌️
"Blondie": The Band, DEBBY HARRY, THE Singer.
Everyone not alive then gets it wrong I think.
Thank you!
Yes many mistakenly assume the name Blondie refers to her because she’s blond and the lead singer.
She prefers to be called Deborah
Debbie..
The Tide Is High is a great Blondie cover of a reggae song.
"Dreaming" is one of my favorite songs by Blondie. The drums are amazing..
Clem kills it on drums !!!!!
Love Dreaming 🙏. Imelda may does a nice little live acoustic cover on here for BBC radio 2👍
Blondie were hugely successful, and deservedly so.
You really should check out "Picture This", which doesn't get the attention of a lot of their other hits.
The song is catchy. The guys in the band are tight. Debbie's singing goes from soft dreamy ballad to gritty rock and you can't help but get caught up in how energetic she is. And this was in the music video era and she's incredibly gorgeous... whilst singing about wanting to "watch you shower"... Oh my!
You did this!!! Awesome! This was NOT one of their biggest I’d say even a little obscure, but I literally love this song so much! A total beat! Way to go on a great pick!
Got to listen to Blondie "Dreaming"❤❤❤❤❤❤
I was just listening to this song from Blondie's Greatest Hit album & then came home & y'all are reacting to it! A few more suggestions: "Sunday Girl", "Dreaming", "One Way or Another", "Rip Her to Shreds", "Hanging on the Telephone" & "Die Young Stay Pretty". Deborah Harry is a rock goddess!
Some really cute early Blondie songs from their first LP: X Offender, In the Sun, Rip Her To Shreds. I think you'd love 'em all! They're deep tracks but great tunes. As for more hits, check out "I'm Always Touched By Your Presence Dear", "Hanging on the Telephone", "One Way Or Another" or "Dreaming"
The Hardest Part is what caused me to go out and buy all the Blondie albums the day after I heard it.
I used to go to a club where the DJ was called Chris "RIP her To Shreds" Bouchard. Oddly, the first song I requested was Rip her to Shreds. When she said that was her DJ name, I didn't believe her.
A couple weeks later I found out she wasn't lying when I saw her name on a flyer for the club.
And "Picture This"!
Don’t forget Dreaming, off the Eat To the Best album. Clem goes totally nuts on that one.
Accidents never happen is another good one to check out...
I’m so glad you have finally reacted to this. As far as I’m concerned it’s the icing on the cake for me with Blondie, a masterpiece. Strangely it wasn’t well received globally compared to their other hits at the time but in the UK it was a huge hit and spent 2 weeks at #1.
Blondie was my grandads favourite . He used to play her songs to me when I was a baby but sadly he died when I was just 3 years old . Everytime I hear a blondie song it reminds me of my grandad 🫶
That is beautiful. I hope my grandkids think of me after Im gone when they hear the Beatles.
The line “Your hair is beautiful tonight” is sweet. Presumably she’s singing to a man - androgyny isn’t really a part of her persona - so it’s an unusual compliment, and very touching.
(Edited to place her in the present tense lol
Thank goodness she’s still around.)
Unusual compliment? Men quite often get compliments on their hair if its well looked after, well groomed and looks good to especially from their lady folk.
@@robertobrien5709
😝 You might get compliments on your hair, but for me, those days are gone with the wind.
You're not aware that this song is about the female orgasm (Atomic explosion). His hair is all she can see during oral sex 😊
@@robertobrien5709 Men rarely get compliments on anything. He's right - It's a noteworthy line for a woman to sing to a man.
This might not be one of Blondie's best known songs, but it is certainly one of my favorites. I had The Best of Blondie on cassette back in the day, and this was on it.
oh, i absolutely got the best of blonde in 1979 when my parents were doing a bmg(or columbia house?) order for a penny.
In the UK it is.
@@billmittenzwey3021 I was a subscriber to one of those, I think BMG, and that's how I initially filled up my first tape case. It was an easy way for a young person in the '80s to start building a knowledge of a wide variety of musical genres. I also spent a fair amount of time at record stores checking out the artwork, but didn't have a turntable, so I rarely bought vinyl.
@billmittenzwey3021 One of my favourites. It was a no 1 here in GB,so very well known.
Shame Debbie's dancing wasn't as good as her singing or looks 😂
Sometimes I forget just how far ahead of their time Blondie was and how influential they were.
Banger!. Maybe their comeback hit in the 90's "Maria" Next.
You should check out the song 'Maria'. It's much later in her career when she was in her 50s, but I think she's still great
The songs were great - that was Blondie's secret. They were written by Debbie Harry & Clem Burke (who were an item at the time). Debbie was also a fantastic front woman. You must check out their earlier stuff - Denis Denis was their debut single that shot them to the top of the charts. I remember seeing them on TOP of the POPS - a British chart show, and thought she was incredible. Another song you should definitely listen to is "Hanging on the Telephone" which has more of their rough, new wave roots.
Debbie & Chris Stein
"Thick punch to the bass line". "cool strange sound, out of world". New wave/post-punk.
one of a kind! love this track, punk and disco so perfect together
Perfectly said... that bass line that Jay loves is classic disco.
Next Blondie song 1999 "Maria!" The group came together to create this wonderful song.
I saw Blondie live around '99.
They did some old songs and Maria
❤❤❤ Blondie and this song! ✨
It was during the Cold War and during this scene it was like, party now because it may be our last. 💃🏼
I always thought maybe I was the only one who thought this was one of the best Blondie songs in her catalog but seeing comments similar make me think otherwise now. LOVE this song, so glad you all reacted to it.
The drumming in this is incredible. Its like a barely restrained animal pulling the rest of the song forward. Exhilarating stuff.
Clem Burke, one of the best drummers I’ve seen live
Clem Burke was incredible on the drums in all their songs. He could sure beat the hell outta those skins !!!
@@robertmiller2633 Just to correct. IS incredible... Its pretty mind blowing how he still smacks those poor innocent drum kits about!
A big mention for Clem Burke in this track Atomic! Prominent from the very start. Every other instrument hangs off his drumming.
Blondie - Dreaming!
Yet another complete pop masterpiece from Blondie, what a band they were...
"Are" as they are still going and doing concerts. They released a big collectors cd/vinyl collection last year.
@anglosaxon5874 Also, I'm going to go out on a limb and say I wasn't the only young lad with a huge crush on Debbie in the 80s lol
@@swfcocs1 You're right! Lol.
Was a teenager in the 70's and Debbie was my No. 1 pin-up!
@anglosaxon5874 yeah, her, that famous poster of farrah fawcett and that poster with the woman tennis player scratching her arse😅😅
Love the drums, the guitar riff, and Debbie going real low & singing, ATOMIC.
Can't go wrong with anything off their first four albums, Blondie, Plastic Letters, Parallel Lines, Eat To The Beat.
“Futuristic western sound”- so great!
I went to her concert back in 1977 i think and was totally in love with her and nothing has change
I love so many of her songs but this is a favourite. Definition of an Eargasm for me 🤣 you can’t help but dance to this
"The Tide Is High" was originally recorded in the 60's by the Jamaican vocal trio called The Paragons :)
Love them Clem is one of THE best drummers in the business
One of the coolest drummers in rock n roll.
This is one of my favorite favorite Blondies songs so happy that you covered this one
Heart of Glass was my favorite song by Debbie Harry. She was s to 80s artists. I love her.
This is by far my favourite blondie song. My husband loves Debbie harry
Also Alison Moyer (English) is beyond this world!!
Blondie was such a great band. This song always reminded me of a James Bond movie theme, very surf rock.
I was thinking the same thing , at least I’m not the only one thinking that 🙋🏻♀️
Gary Lachman is the bass player. He's a prolific author now writing about esoteric stuff. He's pretty brilliant
First time ever I saw your face by Roberta Flack
At Last by Etta James
debbie was the it girl of the early 80´s such a beauty and powerful personality
One thing to consider is in the 70s when theystarted their sound was considered punk music. Their sound is now more pop which just means they were part of making something new that is now the standard.
Im 67 and she's still top on my playlist. Saw her live at the LBC and she was stillawsome.
still have an original first pressing of this album. This is by far my favorite Blondie song
Such a cool band. There is only one person I've heard that kind of remind me of Deborah Harry and that's Shirley Manson from Garbage. A great band to react to because I don't think you've reacted to them yet. I'd suggest "Only Happy When It Rains", "Vow", "I Think I'm Paranoid" and "#1 Crush", which was on the soundtrack to Romeo & Juliet with Leonardo DiCaprio which I hope you guys react on your movie channel someday. 😎👍
My favorite Blondie song! 🤠
My favourite Blondie song ....I was in my 20s in the 80s .They were the the best times,I had a major girl crush on Debbie Harry she is amazing.!
Oh my god!! This is my favorite Blondie songs! It doesn’t have the popularity of their other songs they have created, but it is gold. The music, the lyrics, pure poetry!
This is, by far one of Debbie Harry's best vocals that she's put on record and some of the best bass lines by Nigel Harrison. Might I suggest, if you want to react to more Blondie, you should consider "Maria," a later single after the band reformed in the 1990s. Another tune, you should consider "X Offender" one of their first singles.
Blondie was a new wave band... They did a lot of songs with this "detective music vibe", especially on the Plastic Letters album.
Just to mix it up. Blondie appeared on the Muppet Show in 1980 and did a duet with Kermit, ‘Rainbow Connection’. It’s very different, but very cute and heartwarming. Your kids would love it.
Original, eclectic, futuristic... it's ATOMIC! I love this vibe, this song, this band... BLONDIE IS AMAZING!
When this came out I was based in Germany with the RAF - I found that on the autobahn playing this added 20 mph to my speed! A great song and beat.
She's just performed at the Glastonbury festival in the UK at the age of 77! Still rockin'
Another song that shows yet another different side of Blondie is Victor - going back to their punk roots. Also Picture This is another great song.
One Way or Another
Sunday Girl - Union City Blue - Hanging on the Telephone.... so many good Blondie tracks. They did the rare thing here in the UK by having one of the biggest breaks between Number One hits. The song 'Maria' was a massive comeback hit in 1999 after their last chart topper in 1980.
You could do Blondie for a month and never hear a bad song and a bunch of different styles. "Fade Away and Radiate" is almost psychedelic while "Shayla" is ethereal for example.
Yes, so true! Those two are a couple of my all time faves of theirs, along with "Dreaming" and "The Hardest Part"
Always nice to hear some Blondie
I suggest "Maria" and "One way or another"
Could you imagine what the parties would have been like back then. With the level of crazy creative people running around drunk and off their faces on drugs. I immediately go straight to the British serious Absolutely fabulous.
The song I love is Dreaming is Free. Great Blondie song.
Debby Harry goes by Deborah Harry now, and her voice and style ages like a fine wine.
Blondie are completely underrated based solely on the varirty of their catalog. They crossed SO many genres.
I would still love to see you hit my favorite Blondie song: Dreaming. I feel it’s one of those rare perfect pop rock songs.
You two really need to review “Dreaming” by Blondie. It’s a gem, much like “Sunday Girl”. On a whole other note… thanks for the awesome vibe from your channel. Sometimes the noise in my head gets too loud so seeing just a good, lol, happy and welcoming atmosphere is needed. You guys definitely give that. Thank you!!!
Still can't believe that she's older than the former president, and probably ran into him at Studio 54 back in the day. Everyone liked them back then but I'm only now truly realizing just how good they were as musicians, individually and collectively. Clem Burke has got to be the most underrated drummer in rock history.
She was already 34 in this video. Everybody assumed she was ten years younger.
This is from Blondie's 4th album, 1979's "Eat To The Beat", a year after they broke into the big time w/ "Heart Of Glass". Blondie was in a constant state of experimentation, and their willingness to take risks (thanks in part to the "anything goes" spirit of the New York punk scene they came from) paid off, as well as the top-notch songwriting by vocalist Deborah Harry and guitarist Chris Stein. This album is consistently great, but another standout track is "Dreaming", which sowcases drummer Clem Burke absolutely wailing through the entire song.
My all time favorite song from Blondie- great song....
Great Song! If u see the beautiful girl dancing in the crowd - it's Gia the 1st super model - she was a wild & free spirit - that wasn't long for this world - gone way too soon. And was a huge Blondie fan - just some trivia lol
I just asked that question. I thought it was her. There will never be another beauty like Gia. When I was a young man in New York city back in the 70’s, I would have never dreamed that I would meet so many beautiful women as I did when I was an assistant makeup artist. I was briefly introduced to Gia outside a club one night. She asked me for a cigarette. I actually questioned if I was a gay man as I was talking to her. I’d never reacted so viscerally to a woman before. We all found out that she passed after the fact. I would have gone to her service. Rest easy Gia. You’re okay now.
My all time favourite Blondie song.
Love blondie, she's a legend, got her greatest hits cd. My number one fave song of hers is One Way Or Another, an awesome song.
Other artists and songs to listen to are,
Break my stride by Matthew Wilder,
Just an illusion by imagination,
Somebody else's guy by Jocelyn Brown,
Close to you by Maxi Priest,
In the stone by Earth wind and fire,
Buffalo Stance by Neneh Cherry,
Like Sugar by chaka khan,
Teardrop bt massive attack,
In the end by Linkin park,
Redemption song by Bob Marley,
This magic Moment by Leroy Gibbons,
One bad stud by the blasters.
All awesome songs i think you guys will Love. 😎🎶🎸💖
Great reaction video guys! Blondie had so many good songs, and this sure was one of them. But I just want to let you know that my all time favorite Blondie song was "Dreaming". Absolute favorite by a country mile. Not even close. I really hope you do a reaction video of Dreaming. But please do the original video. I think its labelled the Official Music Video for Dreaming by Blondie. It's another Blondie song that's completely different and shows how versatile the band is. It's a very high energy, danceable, fast, and happy song. You can't but smile.
YES!!!! "Dreaming" has a beat which drives the music so powerfully.
Dreaming & Atomic, my two favourite Blondie songs
Was just writing out essentially the same post! "Dreaming" should definitely be their next stop on the Blondie tour.
Clem Burke’s drumming on “Dreaming” is amazing.
Another early 80's song that changed the world.
Love this song. I never heard it on the radio. For me it was one of those album only gems. And such a cool base solo! And those drums! Makes me bust out the air drumsticks.
Clem Burke has several that make me do air drums. 'Dreaming' is an aerobic gauntlet!
One Way or Another. Hanging on the Telephone. Sunday Girl....so much good Blondie on her first three albums.
Atomic was definitely a dance song. Super popular in the clubs back then.
I feel a game of 'bassline bingo' coming on :) By the way the bass player is from the UK and Blondie are here playing festivals. They are playing Glastonbury next week.
I'm glad y'all did more Blondie! I'm puzzled why you have not yet done One Way or Another...or Dreaming...but this song, from Eat to the Beat, is one of my favorites too!
The band says this was intended to be a follow-up to Heart of Glass, but (in Debbie Harry's words) "then we added the spaghetti western guitar, and we didn't know what it was any more". In fact, they called it "The Spaghetti Song" until they came up with the lyrics (written by Debbie Harry, music by keyboardist Jimmie Destri).
Did you notice how they were dressed as scientists? I think that's hilarous...
One of the dancers was a supermodel named Gia, very famous in the 70s and 80s; she died young.
I know I fell in love with Blondie as a kid but this song during Bend It Like Beckham was 🖤
I saw Blondie in concert a few years ago and Debbie Harry can still belt out the hits!
My favorite Blondie song.
