Blondie are an American rock band that formed in 1974 in New York City, first gained fame in the late 1970s and have so far sold over 60 million records. The band were pioneers in the early American New Wave and Punk Rock scenes. Their first two albums contained strong elements of these genres, and although successful in the United Kingdom and Australia, Blondie were regarded as an underground band in the United States until the release of Parallel Lines in 1978. Over the next three years, they achieved several hit singles and were noted for an eclectic mix of musical styles incorporating elements of Disco, Pop and Reggae, while retaining a basic New Wave style.Lead singer Deborah Harry achieved a level of celebrity that eclipsed other band members, leading to tension within the group. Following the poorly received album The Hunter and with core member Chris Stein diagnosed with a potentially fatal disease, the band disbanded in 1982. As members pursued other projects, Blondie's reputation grew over the following decade and they reformed in 1997, achieving renewed success and a number one single in the United Kingdom with "Maria" in 1999. Blondie toured and performed throughout the world over the following years, and were inducted into both the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the RockWalk of Fame in 2006.Notable songs: "Atomic" "Call Me" "Dreaming" "One Way or Another" "Rapture" - the earliest example of a rock band performing rap music (the parent album was released just a month before The Clash's Sandinista!, which contained "The Magnificent Seven") "The Tide Is High" "Hanging On the Telephone" "In the Flesh" "Heart of Glass"Studio album discography: Blondie (1976) Plastic Letters (1978) Parallel Lines (1978) Eat to the Beat (1979) Autoamerican (1980) The Hunter (1982) No Exit (1999) The Curse of Blondie (2003) Panic of Girls (2011) Ghosts of Download (2014) (As part of the Distinct Double Album Blondie 4(0) Ever, alongside a Greatest Hits Album) Pollinator (2017)

Cultural Rebel: A female-fronted punk/new wave band formed in the 1970s, albeit only the singer was female. Then again, Deborah Harry herself is a really good example, as she was in her early thirties when her band became a hit — a little old for one of the founders of female punk rock, and also a good bit older than her bandmates (she is eight and a half years older than Clem Burke, who has been with Blondie from practically the beginning). (By contrast, The Ramones were still in their mid-twenties when they hit it big.)

Gratuitous French: "Sunday Girl", which also has its own French version. The version on The Best of Blondie was a mix made from both and is well known. "Denis" also featured a verse in French, which explained the cover's name and gender change (from a girl named Denise to a French boy named Denis). "Francois, c'est pas" in the Rapture rap. From Call Me: "Appelle-moi, mon chéri, appelle-moi", just after some Gratuitous Italian: "Amore chiamami, chiamami". Both verses mean "Call me, my dear/love". Debbie's solo song "French Kissin' In The USA" also has Gratuitous French in the repeated line "Embrasser c'est Francais". Like "Sunday Girl", it also has its own French version, which was the B-Side to the single "In Love With Love".

Uncommon Time

comment
Uncommon Time: Yes, Blondie of all bands have an example of this trope, and in one of their best known songs to boot. In the instrumental parts of "Heart of Glass" the band will frequently skip a beat three times in an eight-measure pattern, meaning that there is a popular disco song containing examples of Uncommon Time. (The exact pattern, in case you're wondering, is 4+3+4+3+4+3+4+4/4, meaning that there are twenty-nine beats in the cycle instead of the popular 32). They also skip a beat in "I'm on E", appropriately on the line 'skip a beat', and in "Detroit 442", which catches off people trying to play along to Clem Burke's drumming.

Genre Roulette: Blondie are well known for this, spanning several different genres across each album. A good example is Eat To The Beat's second half (Side 2 on the original vinyl/cassette release) which has each track in a distinct genre: "Die Young Stay Pretty" - Reggae "Slow Motion" - Motown "Atomic" - Disco "Sound A Sleep" - Easy Listening "Victor" - Noise Rock "Living In The Real World" - Punk

The Cover Changes the Gender
 Blondie (Band) (Music) / int_6b6edbda
comment
The Cover Changes the Gender: "Denise" became "Denis". Likewise "man" becomes "girl" in the Paragons' "The Tide is High", and "he" becomes "she" in The Nerves' "Hanging on the Telephone". Averted with their cover of "I'm Gonna Love You Too" by Buddy Holly, which retains the line "After all, another fella took ya": Intentionally or not, this makes it sound like the narrator's male love interest left with another man.

comment
Epic Rocking: The full, extended version of "Call Me" is definitely epic, especially by punk standards — it's over 8 minutes long! "Heart of Glass" almost counts — the extended version (which replaced the original 3:50 version on almost all pressings of the album made since 1979, and almost all CD versions) runs for 5:50. "Rapture" runs for six and a half minutes, with the disco remix clocking in at an even ten minutes.

A Wild Rapper Appears!: Subverted in "Rapture", although considered an Ur-Example. Instead of someone else rapping in her song, Debbie Harry does it herself. Even when they had Coolio appear on "No Exit", they dodged having a true example of this trope - both Debbie Harry and Coolio were rapping in the verses.

Rearrange the Song
 Blondie (Band) (Music) / int_b24ce4b2
comment
Rearrange the Song: The band's early song "Once I Had A Love" was rearranged several times until it became "Heart of Glass" several years later. When first written the song was blues inspired, it went on to become more upbeat and poppier, and finally the band decided on the electro-disco arrangement that made "Heart of Glass" famous. Several demos of it are available and show the song in its various stages of development. A similar case for "Just Go Away" which was once a 1975 song called "Lullaby" with different lyrics. Although not recorded or played live "Fade Away And Radiate" was one of the first songs the band wrote. The band were somewhat short of material for Parallel Lines, and hadn't been considering these songs for an album, but producer Mike Chapman liked them.

Mundane Made Awesome: Deborah Harry makes up for "Atomic"'s Limited Lyrics by wringing unsuspected awesomeness from the simple line "Oh, your hair is beautiful".

Limited Lyrics Song
 Blondie (Band) (Music) / int_db26451e
comment
Limited Lyrics Song: The original album version of "Atomic" has one verse, then goes into an instrumental for most of its running time before returning to a vocal refrain near the end. The single edit is more conventionally structured, as it edits down the instrumental section and also throws in a repeat of the sole verse.

All Girls Want Bad Boys: "Out in the Streets," a cover of a song by classic '60s girl group the Shangri-Las, is about a girl regretting that her influence has reformed a bad boy, because she thinks he's missing his old life and she preferred him when he was bad.

comment
Lyrical Dissonance: "One Way or Another" is a catchy, upbeat little ditty about ... a stalker ex-boyfriend that Debbie Harry had. "The Attack Of The Giant Ants" is an upbeat, catchy song about the obliteration of mankind.
