Favorite Blondie song?

[Archae]

Mine? "Call Me."

[Hugin]

1. "Rapture"

Note: I just said that to be funny and ironic.

[KitchenWitch]

39. and the man from mars stopped eating cars and eating bars

and now he only eats guitars...

Please do not ask me why I know that particular lyric.

[NC_Nurse]

2. Dreamin'

[idgiehkt]

6. mine too!!!

I can listen to that song over and over and over. :)

[I Have A Dream]

15. Ditto here. n/t

[kid a]

32. me too!

[amitten]

40. Same. n/t

[Burma Jones]

49. Yep

[WinkyDink]

3. "Union City Blue".

[LibraLiz1973]

24. Definitely one of mine

[martymar64]

4. Accidents Never Happen

in a perfect world. . .

[Mike03]

5. It's so hard to pick just one

I guess I would pick "Maria",

but "Tide is High" and "One Way or Another" are nearly as good to me.

[mvd]

7. Agreed

Right now my fave is "Sunday Girl."

[mvd]

27. BTW, speaking of Blondie, I'm listening to..

Debbie Harry's Necessary Evil at VH1.com. I highly recommend - amazing that she's still trailblazing, making creative pop music that even borders on alternative.

[HuskerDU]

41. That's my fave too.

French mmmmmmm.....

[Mike03]

8. Great question, by the way

Blondie was such a seminal part of my growing up. I mean, they were just a major band when I was in high school and college.

[RiffRandell]

9. Rip Her To Shreds. n/t

[Tikki]

28. Oh yeah.....

"Yeah, she's so dull, come on rip her to shreds
She's so dull, come on rip her to shreds....

[ornotna]

[jonnyblitz]

12. a tie between "dreamin" and "atomic"

Carly

[BlooInBloo]

18. Atomic used to be mine. Hm. Maybe it still is. lol!

[BlooInBloo]

14. Sunday Girl. Easy.

[Faygo Kid]

16. Heart of Glass. Dreamin'

Hard to choose. Would have liked a smoochfest in the mid '70s with her. We were both purtier then. But it's OK now, too.

[BurtWorm]

35. The Heart of Glass video is amazingly sexy without trying

just because she is sexy without trying.

[mitchum]

17. Tie between "Dreaming" and "Fade Away And Radiate"

[stuntcat]

19. Heart of Glass but

[masshole]

20. Detroit 442

here ya go

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8PlNmH_-Bo4

[Theres-a]

38. Nice!

There's also a punk band in Detroit called "Detroit 442". Great buncha kids. I've seen 'em on the you tube,too.

[NewWaveChick1981]

47. That's my favorite Blondie song too!

:hi: :D

[lettre de cachet]

51. Mine too.

I usually play Youth Nabbed As Sniper right after.

Sundown finds him out of town
On the overpass
His inner self glued to his .22

great opening lines.

Other favorites are Under The Gun(Live), Pretty Baby, and Rifle Range.

[Jamastiene]

21. Sunday Girl

The Tide is High also.
Suzy and Jefferey too.

Plus, Blondie did a killer cover of "I Love Playing With Fire" on one of the bootlegs I have. That totally rocks. Too bad they never went ahead and recorded it for release. It would be my favorite if they did record it.

[JVS]

22. Atomic

[Sanity Claws]

23. Call me

That's my fav too.

"Roll me in designer sheets,
I never get enough."

[LibraLiz1973]

25. Die Young Stay Pretty

along with Union City Blue, Eat to The Beat, Accidents Never Happen, Atomic and Dreamin.

[Aristus]

26. "The Tide Is High". Have you ever listened to it? It's a reggae song!

I always sing along to Deborah Harry while singing in a Bob Marley Jamaican accent. I substitute "I'm no de kinda bloke" for "I'm not the kind of girl..."

[Jamastiene]

30. In the original, the singer says, "guy."

The original is by the Paragons. It's pretty cool too.

[BurtWorm]

31. The original by the Paragons is great too

[bettyellen]

29. I want that Man

[tuvor]

33. Shayla

I've never heard Ms. Harry's voice sound so pure as in that song.

(Hey, anyone else hear the mashup of The Tide is High and It's Not Unusual? Incredible.)

[Starbucks Anarchist]

34. Rip Her to Shreds.

[Roon]

36. I don't know the name of the song

but it goes...."one way, or another...I'm going to get you"

[gmoney]

37. every so often I'll catch "11:59" on the clock and that song will start in my head.

But there were so many good 'uns... everything in the thread

[Whisp]

42. Rapture

first pseudo rap thing I ever heard.

[RushIsRot]

43. Hearts of Glass.

[JCMach1]

44. 11:59

[Locrian]

45. anything from Autoamerican or Eat to the Beat

"Based on the desire for total mobility and the serious physical pursuit
of religious freedom, the auto drove mankind further than the wheel and,
in remote areas even today,
is forbidden as a device too suspect for human conveyance.
This articulate conception has only brought us all more of the same,
thoughtlessly locked into phase two gridlock, keyed up,
on it's rims and abandoned on the expressway "


Fav is probably "Shayla" or "Union City Blues".... "T-Birds" was cool...

And what about "Follow Me"?

Far from day, far from night, out of time, out of sight, in between earth and sea, we shall fly.
Follow me.
Dry the rain, warm the snow where winds never go.
Follow me.
Follow me to a cave by a sapphire shore where we'll walk through an emerald door, and for thousands of breathless "evermore"s my life you will be.
Only you.
Only I.
World farewell.
World goodbye.
To our home 'neath the sea we shall fly.
Follow me.

[1gobluedem]

46. Atomic

But I love most all of Blondie's stuff.

[IcyPeas]

53. I second Atomic

that song just always had a "sound" to me that was great.....

[LaraMN]

48. One Way or Another, specifically because

I like to play it and chase JackMN around. He thinks it's hysterical.

[Rabrrrrrr]

50. "When I Need You"

:P

[Zavulon]

52. The shortest one.

Sorry, I'm just in a mood. Move along, nothing to see here except for a cranky fortysomething surrounded by unqualified dolts.

:)

[Dr. Strange]

54. Riders on the Storm

No, wait, it's Rapture Riders: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dnhKPw2NXIw
