Absolutely the greatest song from the late 1970's!! It's the ultimate party and dance song, and it's beautiful at the same time. It fills me with great joy. Fun to sing too; I finally learned the lyrics after all these years.
@@stacymorris2570 even blows, for the man my life I know, life I know. Free me, eating food on the concrete, with friends. 🤣🤣🤣 lmao. I'm mucho shocked with a heart with gas.
Every time I hear this song or the the tide is high I always think of my mom. My mom didn’t speak English but she love this song, mostly for the beat, I can picture her dancing to this song. RIP and dance in heaven because I will always be playing this one for you.
@@benquartermaine1171It is weird they became so popular in the 70’s since they were invented in the 1800’s. I had a pair of those horrible all metal things from the 40-50’s. I always preferred skateboards and surfing. But I wasn’t a teen until 88.
I was 15 & had a bigger crush .. still do and I’m 60 😂😂😂is that sad or is that funny 🤣.. bit of both I suppose .. what a cool song tho, ahead of its time
He certainly should ... he was part of a group which undertook an 8-year-long study of the physical and psychological effects of drumming on the artists along with the stamina required by top-flight drummers. He also helped to keep Blondie together when Debbie Harry and Chris Stein considered disbanding.
RR KNL fun fact: the acoustic drums were recorded and put together in sync with a drum synthetizer to give a different vibe to the overall drum track in the mix.
I loved going to aerobic classes in my early 20's. My instructor found the 5:30 minute version and challenged us to it. I remember my muscles burning & hurting before I made it through. The song still encourages me today -- I'll be 60 very soon. 😂
There is no way i would have known what the hell Debbie was singing without reading the lyrics. Not that it mattered - esp when first falling in love with this song at 17 and buying the single. Actually discovering the words was a new adventure.
Perhaps the most memorable songs by Blondie that defined my coming of age. I still get so excited whenever I hear it! My niece and her friends now love and listen to it nearly 40 years later. Deborah Harry was a great talent! :)
Haha - you're not the only one, Danielle! Is music today REALLY worse than the oldies I tend to post? Watch this video (when you have time) and see what you think: ua-cam.com/video/oVME_l4IwII/v-deo.html
Well, I remember when this was new stuff. It pushed aside the jam band/arena rock band stuff that was on the radio. This was rad and different. No long, boring guitar solos. Short, sharp, shocked. New Wave. New Music. Alternative. It is still great, isn't it?
I never tire of this track...it's a total gem. Hope it lasts a good couple of thousand years into the future and people are still enjoying it. If you ever heard Debbie Harry and the band sing this live like I did back in 1999...it was magnificent!.
The BIG one for Blondie! On the local charts for 3 successive years! Entered the charts December 1978 - didn't drop out till February 1980! That's longevity! Thumbs up Victor! Cheers Tiger.
I couldn't believe (when I heard this one the first time) that she was singing "pain in the ass" in the lyrics. Well, YT is being a pain in the ass this morning!
I remember sitting in my parents car in South Georgia late at night listening to radio stations out of New York and hearing this for the first time. Wow. Brings back memories. Damn sure wasn't gonna hear anything like this on the local stations in the seventies lol
I was stationed at Lakenheath in East Anglia with an apartment in Haverhill. Every time that I hear this song I think of the record shop downtown that I would walk to. The owner taught me so much about music...
Takes me back to the 80s while roller skating good times damn good times This song is a legend , wonder why, the way she sings, her accent, it's was made for her... 1979...13 yrs. old..huge crush on this woman...Probably still..
Awesome cut ! I remember hearing this song for the first time back in the late 70's. I had never heard anything quite like it ! Still a great cut today !
This song is a legend , wonder why, the way she sings, her accent, it's was made for her... Not only does she have an incredible voice but the drummer is also pretty incredible.
Beautiful song....and Blondie sings it very beautifully....in anice peppy rhythmic music. I have known this song for ages now.....I may have aged...but the song and Blondie are both as fresh as ever . Thanks for uploading the lyrics here.
I dreamed I found a time machine that took me back in time. To CBGB I saw DD Ramone doing lines. When up on stage I heard the voice truly deep and fine. I watched Blondie rock the house when I went back in time.
I sure do miss the 70s and 80s. The music today is not even the same. Sometimes I wish I could find a time machine and go back in time. Life was much easier and everyone enjoyed life! Is this your favorite song?
What about 'Call me"! A very lively song! From the movie American Gigolo, featuring the biggest hunk at the time...Richard Gere! He still is lovely looking!
This song represents the epitome of twisting and contorting the English language ,to the point it's unrecognizable . So it will fit the music. Which is a practice ,that true musicians don't have to rely on.
I'm pretty sure the line is "Soon turned out,,, to be a pain in the ass." It's 3 syllables, quick pause, then six or seven syllables, depending on how you count it as the "to be" are almost sung as one syllable, as t'be. Anyway, The first set of 3 syllables clearly end with the word "out".
*Love* 💚. Once I had a love and it was a gas Soon turned out her heart of glass Seemed like the real thing, only to find much o' mistrust Love's gone behind Once I had a love and it was divine Soon found out I was losing my mind It seemed like the real thing but I was so blind Much o' mistrust Love's gone behind In between what I find is pleasing and I'm feeling fine Love is so confusing, there's no peace of mind If I fear I'm losing you It's just no good, you teasing like you do Ooh, aah Ooh, aah Once I had a love and it was divine Soon found out I was losing my mind It seemed like the real thing but I was so blind Much o' mistrust Love's gone behind Once I had a love and it was a gas Soon turned out to be a pain in the ass Seemed like the real thing, only to find much o' mistrust Love's gone behind Lost inside Adorable illusion and I cannot hide I'm the one you're using please don't push me aside We coulda made it cruising yeah It's just no good, you teasing like you do Ooh, aah Ooh, aah Ooh Aah Ooh Aah Ooh Aah 💚💚💚
I've been listening to this song for a long time and it was always like a fun jam... But it's crazy to me how it hits differently now that I've gone through a devastating breakup.
We all go through relationships. Break up. Divorce . I had a heart of glass. But now a heart of stone. I'm 47 years old I really didn't think that not caring could happen to me. It did though. You can only get burned so many times. I found out. But I do actually care... You got to fight through that. Focus on the good things. If you don't. . You will find your self alone. Just saying.

Yup… skating rinks was the first thing that came to mind

Haha my father did too😂
Not only does she have an incredible voice but the drummer is also pretty incredible.
That's Clem Burke - very much in the style of Hal Blaine, member of The Wrecking Crew.
He sure knows his stuff!!
He certainly should ... he was part of a group which undertook an 8-year-long study of the physical and psychological effects of drumming on the artists along with the stamina required by top-flight drummers.
He also helped to keep Blondie together when Debbie Harry and Chris Stein considered disbanding.
RR KNL fun fact: the acoustic drums were recorded and put together in sync with a drum synthetizer to give a different vibe to the overall drum track in the mix.
Then i recommend to take a look at their live performances of 1979.
You'll be amazed by that, as I was/am.
I feel like putting on my rollerskates! That is where this song brings me to! Cheers
I'll join you!
im in!

Another one of those songs I had to hide from my 70’s80’s rock friends. I’d never have lived it down. Now I am not embarrassed!
😂👍
I guess I had to come out. Lol
I misheard every single lyric for the last 40 years. My version was a bit odd...
Haha - don't worry Mark. You should check out the Peter Kay video, "Misheard Lyrics" on YT. It's hilarious.
Lol it happens. What matters is how the song made you feel. Right?
@@1raffleticket Yeah, but I think I prefer my version...
@@1raffleticket there ya go
They's called mondegreens. Like the Beatles song:
A Girl with colitis goes by!
This is one of those songs you love to play over and over. I never get tired of listening to it.
Could never make out the lyrics, now seeing them here, I find them hard to memorize...odd wording. Great sound, love this tune.
Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment, Eric. Much appreciated.
eric brufatto Some of the lyrics are a little wrong but this is a pretty good attempt overall.
Exactly!
A lot of these lyrics are wrong.

Tell me about it, dam it was all over even the east siders would dace to it. Lol

Love BLONDIE!
So happy she was inducted into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame!
I heard this at Wal-Mart
She was so darn pretty and had a voice to match, crazy that this is the only hit that I know of from her.
Some of their other bigvhits were:
"Atomic"
"call me"
"one way or another"
The Tide is High also a hit.
Maria
Rapture
The lyrics make so much sense for my sweetheart back in the day. To bad she left without reading the lyrics.
And too bad we cannot turn back the hands of time.

2:03 that unexpected offbeat is just brilliant
It's not offbeat, the time signature changes from 4/4 to 7/8 during that instrumental part of the song
@@DoTaren213 we're casual music enjoyers.
Timeless song.....pure classic.
This song is a legend , wonder why, the way she sings, her accent, it's was made for her...
Great comment - thank you.
Well she wrote the song with her boyfriend so I'm sure she had herself in mind as the singer for it.
I was stationed at Lakenheath in East Anglia with an apartment in Haverhill. Every time that I hear this song I think of the record shop downtown that I would walk to. The owner taught me so much about music...
It's a nice part of the world that I have only visited once. 1964. Where did time go?
@@sunryse111 I understand your statement. When I see videos of London, I am astounded at the change from 1977-1980.
This is a true classic !
I loved all their records. Can't believe that Debbie Harry is now in her 70s.
I can't believe I'm approaching my 80s! 🤣
one of the best ever tracks,just a great band,the others as well!
Thanks, you two. Have a good weekend.
I was in love with Blondie at 11 years old. Holy shit...I still am!!!
this song is still played in clubs

Epic dance song I could see why. Though I can't tell you the last time I heard this at a club anywhere

What she says is true for alotta ppl. So simple but wow she nails it.

So many effects packed into one song and, it works.
One of my ‘go to’ tunes for the past **years..Love it! 🖤🤘🏼 Blondie rocks.
“Hey eyes up here”
“Sorry love I’m just reading the lyrics”
I've read some funny comments, but that one had me laughing! Well done, Stinky! ("Sorry love" - that tells me you're British!)
@@sunryse111 I'm glad it made you laugh and yes I am British
Most people don't know this but if you listen to the drummer in Blondie in the beats he keeps. He's one of the best drummers that ever did it
Finally found the song! So many years since I try to find it
Awesome cut ! I remember hearing this song for the first time back in the late 70's. I had never heard anything quite like it ! Still a great cut today !
Thanks for you great comment, Dwight.
I was 9 years old when this song came out. Still listening in 2019 at 48.

Catchy song! I hear it as a soundtrack in movies and tv shows a lot, I keep forgetting it's from Blondie, and keep searching for it.
You found it now, my friend! 😉
Great Sunryse111. That song was a hit here in Rio de Janeiro in the end of 70's. It's good to be able to sing, thanks for the lyrics.
Love this song. The jump in the beat is absolutely cool.

Nice poetry!
Tremendous drumming, it really drives the song.

Debbie Harry and Blondie still rock. Love all their stuff.
*Love* 💚. Once I had a love and it was a gas
Soon turned out her heart of glass
Seemed like the real thing, only to find much o' mistrust
Love's gone behind
Once I had a love and it was divine
Soon found out I was losing my mind
It seemed like the real thing but I was so blind
Much o' mistrust
Love's gone behind
In between what I find is pleasing and I'm feeling fine
Love is so confusing, there's no peace of mind
If I fear I'm losing you
It's just no good, you teasing like you do
Ooh, aah
Ooh, aah
Once I had a love and it was divine
Soon found out I was losing my mind
It seemed like the real thing but I was so blind
Much o' mistrust
Love's gone behind
Once I had a love and it was a gas
Soon turned out to be a pain in the ass
Seemed like the real thing, only to find much o' mistrust
Love's gone behind
Lost inside
Adorable illusion and I cannot hide
I'm the one you're using please don't push me aside
We coulda made it cruising yeah
It's just no good, you teasing like you do
Ooh, aah
Ooh, aah
Ooh
Aah
Ooh
Aah
Ooh
Aah 💚💚💚
