"Parallel Lines" for Blondie was like a Doors album, in that all of the songs were good listening, and you'd find yourself singing them later.
Did you say Doors on a Blondie video? lol ua-cam.com/video/eSc7kMpWz0E/v-deo.html
Fantastic album. Really ground breaking
I love they’re ability to combine punk and new wave into something that sounded so good !!
Just about my favourite Blondie song, and they had many, many classics ! .. The melody, the energy, and the passion in this song are all massive .. It's pure electrifying brilliance !
agree, best Blondie song IMO though not as well known.
@@peterwalsh2470 Yep .. Deserves far greater recognition .. A new wave classic for sure !
the band were actually a punk band but the record company changed their image to create what you are listening to now ,at the time they had so many hits they are also in the rock hall of fame
Parallel Lines is just a perfect album. Every song is top notch.
Debbie was "the face" of the late 70's and early 80's. So many magazine covers!
A really fun punkish song by Blondie is Rip Her to Shreds. Union City Blues is a favorite of mine. Great band.
Telephones used to have wires. When you put the receiver in the cradle you “hung up”. Sometimes when you were on hold waiting for someone to pickup, they would hang the receiver on a hook that didn’t end the call in public places like bars or swimming pools, skating rinks and restaurants and page you on an intercom to pick up and answer. So when you were waiting for someone to answer you were left hanging. This also got extended to the expression hanging around for when you were waiting for something to happen, like pick up the phone.
Perfect description. Now I feel really old.
Since the lyrics mention a phone booth, I’ll add that the receiver cords in public phone booths were short and wrapped in steel cords and they could be left hanging down without a hook. You could leave a call physically hanging on hold, while you searched for them.
The song was written by Jack Lee together with Paul Collins and Peter Case formed the LA based power pop band , the Nerves. Paul later formed another power pop band, Paul Collin's Beat and Peter Case was prominate in forming a more well known band The Plimsouls ("A Million Miles Away"). I'm 70 years old and was down on Sunset Blvd. at that time in the punk & power pop scene. Yes, I still listen to the punk and NW oldies along with hard rock and metal.
Great explanation. Every band those guys touched were gold IMO. Anxiously awaiting them to check out The Plimsouls "A Million Miles Away" on a future 80's stream. That song has been in my head since I was a kid, and I'm in my mid 40's now.
I was there then too. Listening to Rodney on the KROQ and hearing all the newest coolest bands. Great times.
💖💯🌈☮️💥
It cannot be put better then this so well said people forget... love Blondie but the songs origins as equally important this hit would never have existed without the Nerves
Blondie giving the rage of their Punk roots a little bit of an airing out - & looking at Debbie Harry I'm transported back to being thirteen years old & watching her on the TV in rapt attention - & feeling something I was only just on the edge of comprehending - but definitely feeling the tug of something powerful. If only we could bottle it & sell it.
Great song! Blondie did this cover and made it theirs.
The original is a cool punk band called The Nerves.
Wow I didn’t know that
An even Better version is found on Def Leppard's YEAH! album.
BRAD . . . . . Lex hit it directly "on the head". Hanging on the telephone is exactly how she described it. You would tell the caller "Hang on" , put the phone down and "leave them hanging!" when you didn't want to talk. Of course, that never happened to me but, I heard about it happening to people that I knew. . . . . (wink, wink)
I used to do that to phone solicitors...🤣👍
One of my old friends used to do that with a guy that really annoyed him, he said "I'd go and make a snack and a coffee, come back, and the guy was still talking at the other end".
Amazing as this track is, it's only one of a dozen amazing tracks on the album. My nine-year-old self loved it!
Blondie was a fun new wave punk band. 🕺
Blondie and this song are awesome!!!
Fantastic 70's New Wave song!
Wow. I'm so glad you guys this song. One of my favorite Blondie songs that I love to turn up the volume on. You guys are great!!
The rotary phone discussion made me feel so old 😂
My papa bough a tiny little lock so we couldn’t use it and run the bill up. Of course the streetwise of us knew a little bypass 😜
I still use one.
As for the faces - Debbie is definitely a live wire who wanted to make things happen. Otherwise she would never have survived New York. But she did, and Blondie did, and became part of the city's music history.
At last the proper punky blondie. This is the blondie we fell in love with here in the UK. Try rip her to shreds. Denis, always touched by your presence. I'm not living in the real world. Detroit 442.
Blondie such a great band, check out “Union City Blue” or “Call me”
Blondie was my teens! I looked on Blondie as 'soft punk' back then - she wasn't the hard hitting punk of the Sex Pistols, X-Ray Specs, Siosixie and the Banshees or The Clash. She was more of an easy listening punk, that my parents weren't horrified that I was listening to. They were often shocked that I was blasting out 'Germ Free Adolescent' X-Ray Specs (which I still love to this day) You need to react to real punk.
This was certainly punky Blondie as opposed to disco Blondie. Love your other choices there,similar punk upbringing 😁
Blondie was the name of the band, the singer is Deborah (Debbie) Harry
Blondie were my favourite band, but I also loved all those others you mentioned .. And "Germfree Adolescents" is still one of my absolute favourite albums and songs .. Poly Styrene was such a character and influential artist .. Great memories !
Seconded. Though what makes "real punk" differs across the globe. Me I love some Buzzcocks, Stiff Little Fingers, anything with rough and ready musicianship and lyrics from the heart and the streets.
@@philippamalherbe4111 who said anything different?
My favorite by Blondie, love the drums in this, it just sounds fun to play and it rocks harder than other songs of theirs. I always wished the song was longer but id just put it on repeat.😁
I've always thought that the Blondie drummer hits them harder than just about anyone else!!
Clem Burke is an awesome drummer.
Back then, instead of mobile phones we had great musicians to look at and great music to listen to...
This is off of the album Paralllel Lines. You have heard a couple songs now. The whole album is great.
Blondie/Debbie was a very influential new wave/punk band.
Influenced many future modern post-punk/new wave bands like Yeah Yeah Yeahs (Karen O) , Metric (Emily Haines) , No Doubt (Gwen Stefani), Santigold, Garbage (Shirley Manson), Wet Leg , Concrete Blonde, The Sounds, Elastica, Paramore, Fefe Dobson, The Cardigans, etc. Even Lady Gaga lol . Check out these groups, too!
Lex said short and sweet. Yes, it's punk rock. ha!
Madonna? She should tithe to Deborah Harry.
This is my favorite Blondie song. Thanks for reacting to it
Accidents never happen is a great tune. Also do Dreaming. Both videos show how badass their drummer Clem is.
OMG I feel so old, when Brad had to explain what hanging up on a phone meant.
I love "Sunday Girl" off Parallel Lines.
She simply means staying by the telephone waiting for it to ring. Hanging around, not going anywhere or even doing much around the house. Most phones had no answering machines, were not even cordless.
I know, it's not rocket science is it? I'm from the UK and even I know exactly what it means 😆
Two minutes and twenty-two seconds of pop perfection.
I like how that Stratocaster matches Debbie Harry's hair and dress
Yes youngins!!!! It was a land line rotary telephone!!!
Blondie of that era had the BEST middle 8’s & solos in pop (Picture This ❤️). Them and Squeeze…
Clem Burke giving that ride cymbal a workout!
"Shayla" is another nice one from them.
What a great song - Im so glad it was written! Its not an easy song to play musically on guitar/drums or sing lyrically. Wonderful! I think Lex said it best at the end, "Jam packed"! - thats exactly right! This power pop gem is relentless in its awesomeness!
Thanks Lex. Your comment that you didn't even know how to use a rotary phone in no way make a whole generation feel old and decrepit. Still love you.
An amazing song of the time.
This was what we called New Wave..
Evolved from punk I guess.
Wow i just got childhood memories i didn't know i had! Thanks for that guys ^^
Great song! Your next Blondie choice should be Picture This, another single from the same album. It’s almost perfect!
I love the song Just Go Away from the same album.
I was about 13 or 14 when blondie first appeared on UK TV with Denis. You cannot imagine the impact this beautiful girl singing this completely new sound had on lads my age.
That was the best Blondie album. Great time for music.
Yeah not a bad track on it. The same with 'Eat to the Beat'. Both classic albums.
Yes about time! what a song love it!
Remember when we had to say things like: "We can't leave yet, I'm waiting for a phone call."
“Dreaming” is one of my favorite Blondie songs. Do the official video
Thanks for making me feel ancient with those end comments
Great band went to see them on first UK tour
"Hanging on the telephone" = hanging out on the telephone. Before video calls, cellphones, and Internet, people used to call each other on land-lines and have a nice conversation.
never heard this... thanks good energy
She is simply iconic !
Old school Jamaican band The Jolly Boys dropped a great cover of "Hanging on the Telephone" back in 2010. Check it out. And for more Blondie, check out "Accidents Never Happen", "Pretty Baby", "I Know But I Don't Know", and "Out in the Streets" among many others. Also note that on those old phones, once you turned the dial for a number you had to wait for it to turn itself back to the start before dialing the next number. That meant seven turns in all for a local call.
She has the most amazing smile does our Debs
3:30 OMG, I'm old. To hear people talk about rotary telephones like some ancient mysterious artifact from long ago.
Blondie had one of the most powerful, straight-ahead approaches in Punk/New Wave.
Also, Parallel Lines is one of my favorite albums of all time. It's a timeless classic.
Brad & Lex, you'll love their "Atomic" and "(I'm Always Touched by Your) Presence, Dear"!!
edit- you did "Sunday Girl" on tonights live stream, blocked half way through :( .
One of my favourite Blondie songs.
Saw "Blondie" (or a version of) at the NEC in Birmingham (UK) in the summer, she was 76 at the time, such an icon
the "ohhhhh" in the second line of "ohhhh I can't control myself" is the single sexiest line in pop music history.
The original was by a group called The Nerve in 1973.
Short and sweet. Definitely showing their Punk roots.
Great song about obsession. Cover song originally done by The Nerves..
Sunday Girl,,,my Fav,
Blondie mostly was a New Yawk band and you can hear it so clearly in this song. Love it
Brilliant Brilliant Blondie! Debbie Harry Posters were on many a boys wall!
Should check out the Canadian pop punk band Teenage Head. Lets Shake , Disgusteen , Top Down. Great Band
Ok so my interpretation of "Hanging on the telephone" was, all we ever do is talk on the phone while she wants to get him someplace where they can be alone.
Brilliant tune... Worked well on the dancefloor with Roxan or Message on a bottle from the Police, Take me I'm yours from Squeeze, Generals and majors from XTC, Driver's seat from Sniff and the Tears, No More Heroes from the Stranglers
The first three Blondie albums were gold. Detriot 442, Rip Her To Shreds, so many great songs. Honorable mention for the Eat to the Beat lp as well.
Also, hit up The Plimsouls "A Million Miles Away"!
This song was top 5 in the UK but just an album track in the US. This was the first track off their smash breakthrough album, one of my first albums
Yes, Lex, your grandma had what’s called a “rotary” dial phone.
love blondie! great band!
Forgot to mention, love me some Lex...too adorable...
You might like the song ATOMIC by Blondie 😎
One of Blondie's most underrated songs Union City Blue is a must. Short but sweet. Also try Sunday Girl. Many thanks.
My absolute favourite Blondie song.....
Love it
Oh I have watched a few of your videos and I love you two I laughed so hard I still have my Blondie album I am now 50 years old she was very great in her day hanging on the telephone to me would be you take your rotary phone and just hang out talking on the phone that would be what I think it is but who knows anyway I am surely glad that you have discovered Blondie she is one of the greatest
Do "the pogo" at the Blue Note Club in Boulder, Colorado in 1980!!!!
Thanks for Posting 👍💯 RESPECT 🙏
The song is about her calling someone who she knows is home but is ignoring her calls. Back then, if you called someone and just hung out and waited, it would continue to ring at the recipient's house until they answered or you gave up and hung up your phone. In cheap apartments, it was common to have a phone booth in the hallway that was shared by whoever lived there.
The original version of this song is by The Nerves.
I was a 15 years old average teen boy at the time and of release, I instantly knew I liked girls, thank you Debbie, she was cool as and scary as for me. Great band
At the time of this classic hit, we pretty much had only landline telephones, cell phones ("smart phones") still hadn't come around just yet.
Queen of punk!
Got to see them before they become when playing for 100 people in a bar were my sister worked so was. Able to a lot of big band
Crikey I feel old with Brad and Lex discussing what "Hanging on the telephone" means. Debbie Harry my first pop star pin up. I still have the 7inch single of this. A perfect single. The album this is from, Parallel Lines, is great.
No one gave face like a cocaine farked Deborah Harry....a true rock princess, forever adored. X
I would NEVER leave her hanging on the telephone.
That song has the PERFECT ending.
Gary Lachman who played for Blondie, is now in my philosophico-mystical circles of associates. He writes books on such men as Rudolf Steiner, G. I. Gurdjieff, and Mr. Ouspensky. And Carl Jung et al.
We have some mutal friends and occasionally like each other's stuff-haven't read him yet though; he once said Blondie herself was into "the occult" in the 70s or whenever.
It could have been called "Waiting By The Telephone", and it would have been less confusing, especially for the younger people. Yes, back in the day, phones had actual cords, and if you mis-dialed one digit, you had to start over. Also, before we had called I.D., which showed what number was calling on a little digital screen, we actually had no way of knowing who was calling until we answered.
This track is the most 'definitive' Blondie song. IMO.
I FEEL SOOOOO OLDDDD. You 2 are high school sweethearts ??
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 What does that mean ??
Anyways Debbie Harry was the most Beautiful Woman.I had Blondie Posters on my wall and her albums at 5 and 6 yrs.old.
And she's not goofing on the song, this was music and she and the band were awesome to watch. I am still a fan.
It you're waiting for someone to pick-up on a call, and they don't, you're left, 'hanging on', for them to answer.
This was the fourth time this song was a hit. Best album of the late 79’s…. Side one and two of the album combined was a mere 22 minutes
Don’t get me all excited talking on the phone get over here and give it to me! There is the meaning lol
lol I remember when cordless phones came out it was amazing. You could walk around outside with the phone...revolutionary! It really was amazing.😂 Also push button phones lol
That was a laugh at the end when Lex&Brad are talking about the what&how of rotary phones!
In a similar vein, a lot of young reactors have no clue what the noises are at the beginning of Floyd's classic song "Time"!!! It's cuz the old school clocks ringing at the top of the hr have never been heard by many young people... In the tune it's like being in a clock shop (so many going off together...
Further, the following percussion sound in "Time" is often interpreted by reactors as a heart beat or some other other silly thing, when it's clearly (at least to us "elderly") the ticking of the seconds that make up the minutes that make up the hr when the clocks will all go off again.
YESSSS YOU GUYS. . Debbie Harry is a goof at ❤ who I think got tired of everyone saying how gorgeous she was so made goofy faces lol
DO VICTOR NEXT!! you'll get a kick out of that one!
One of their least known songs in the US. When you put someone on 'hold', they are left waiting for you to come back, hand and arm getting cramped, etc. Debra was a trip in the pop world; Andy Warhol prints, music videos, films like Tales From The Darkside, Roadie and Forever, Lulu, etc. You should hit UNION CITY BLUE, SHAYLA, KIDNAPPER, FLIGHT 45 (Bermuda Triangle Blues).
The thing about landlines is being stuck in one place waiting on a call when all you wanna do is move
