Blondie - Bang A Gong (Get It On) Live - T.Rex Cover

[tatethompson1234]

Do you know the date? Johnny Thunders played live with Blondie and played this song live with them

[RushDaTeez]

My dick looks bigger when i shave my pubes

[DumblyBrilliant]

How to murder a great song by Debbie Harry.

[laukemp1]

Blondie...Oh Yeah!!

[naguoning]

Prefer the Rex Hunt version myself...

[jackhair311]

I think honeysprite is a dude!!

[GeorgeVreelandHill]

Love it.

George Vreeland Hill

[MsRomancik]

Baaaaaaadly

[offstride]

Not a good cover but let them do it so we can go back to T. Rex and appreciate it.

[redfenderguy]

what a shite cover 

[McWaffleTime]

*bang* thud thud they just murdered that song

[1960unclemort]

i had no idea they covered this or should i say murdered this

[elmaximus66]

que mierda de cancion, esta puta cree que puede cantar

[HIPandiDONTmeanHOP]

First time I've ever been able to appreciate blondie...

[ihasch]

The insecurity of the Bolan fans is very amusing. I've seen him do it live and it sounds pretty much like this. Yes, but no one else can do the song properly, they miss the nuances, Bolan was sublime, blah, blah, blah. No offense, but the song isn't that special that it needs to be placed on a pedestal. Bong a gong, get it on...profound. Its just a fun, energetic song. Sounds like a good live cover to me, although too bad it cuts off.

[McDjB1]

They use the wrong chord in the chorus!!

[BigBulgeCheeks]

She's covered

1) The Beatles-awful

2) Johnny Cash-Okay

3) T-Rex-Okay

4) David Bowie-Good

Why would a band with such great songs need to do inferior covers of the UK's only 3 great artists ever?

[ihasch]

I'll try my hand at grading Blondie covers. I have different expectations for live covers, which I judge based on rawness and energy, but anyway:

(1) Out In The Streets-Great. Works nicely w/o the wall of sound.

(2) I Feel Love-Great. Fits her voice.

(3) Moonlight Drive (Old Waldorf (1977)-Great. That whole show was very good.

(7) Heroes-Good. (started soaring at the end)

(8) Funtime-Good.

(9) Bang a Gong (multiple)-Good. Should run 5-7 minutes.

(10) Ring of Fire-Passable. It's Cash's song.

[BigBulgeCheeks]

Denis and Hanging on the telephone (brilliant) were covers as well to my knowledge, but they were brilliant and the origionals were, how do you say it, absolutely shite.

[tih111]

your video graphics are very artistic

Well done!

[alexfanx]

Too many drugs.

[lemmehollaatya]

i always thought this song was so simple and straightforward that it could be universally covered by anyone and it would sound good but no, not at all. i'm yet to find a single good cover version of this, but the original is just fantastic.

[hearditman]

Have u listened to The Blow Monkeys version?

[nayen96]

I like blondie, but I like the original better..(:

[jajayatzi]

Blondie is great but what a way to kill a song!

[chichenitza100]

what are these people talking about?!? that was awesome; and the photo montage was incredibly good, loved it.

[boppingelf]

sounds kool to me

[Gmissile]

This is crap, although I really dig Blondie.

Debbie could be doing something more productive with her mouth, rather than this, with me and Mr. Helmet Johnson,a lot.

I yearn to goo that face and up into her hair,even after all this time. AND I don't care what anybody thinks about that.

[terminator363]

I don't even know who blondy is or anythig but this suck balls

[ACDCFan15Swe]

I've always thought Blondie was crap and this is the f..kin proof

[sheraton114]

that was very brave....

[brieouttabham92]

Prefer the t.rex version by a mile!

[Claptonisgod777]

@brieouttabham92 I Prefer it by a Kilometer

[GUSFERON]

Recorded during Blondies heroin days me thinks.

[gabysalter]

she never used heroin did she?!?!

[JoshMufc101]

cocaine, nt smack

[bamhermani]

i know it's punkish.. i grew up with all that, believe me.. i just don't like this version from blondie but i love the band anywayz,,

[bamhermani]

nice but too speedy

[DNBGuRu]

its punk -ish. kinda needs to be fast.

[xXRollingStoneXx]

T.Rex' version is MUCH better!

[adaveen]

Okay, I LOVE Debby Harry - but this is even worse than when Peter Doherty butchered Children of the Revolution. And I love Peter, too.

[nGrEng]

Not Debbie's finest hour

[currykinggmx]

thats shit fuck of this cover!

marc bolan is the best!!!

[theladygrinningsoul]

Just cause Debbie Harry is hot, doesn't mean she can butcher a classic and get away with it.

[Newteredone]

i think this would sound better if it were properly mixed. this sounds like it is the monitor mix

[bolanledgend]

wow cool blondie is also amazing however i do prefere marc's version x

[bolanrocks]

Taaaaannnxxxxx

[qwertyloop]

Debbie was the female Marc Bolan - such charisma and ubersexy!

[emeraldecity]

Would have loved to hear Marc do One way or another*** o.k I'm getting excited!

[honeysprite]

OOooh, that would be good!

[PetitChaton9]

@emeraldecity oh no why did you have to say that, now im imagining it and wishing so terribly it existed

[julierex]

good video from honeysprite but don't like this version from blondie....

[baboles83]

I love this cover...Blondie always did great cover songs during their live shows. I have a Blondie Live cd that has a "Bang A Gong"/"Funtime" performance from 1980 and it goes on for 15 minutes!

[PAINTEROO7]

what a fantastic video..that was awesome..great version by blondie[she's a babe],thanks honey that was top class as always...marc's angel back with a bang...

[KIERSZTEN]

tanx brilliant

[ZipDrumBoogie]

Love both bands so this is very cool - thanks honeysprite for another great vid!

[boogiestarman]

Thanks Honey, I'm glad you get it (on)I do love this version and there is another great live version by and forgive the spelling shasphers sister (I never studied him at school). Kev

[honeysprite]

Ohhh, I don't have that one. If you do, you should post it and complete the circle. ;)

[ExaltedCompanion]

hey boogie - even phonetically 'shasphers' is nothing like what you're trying to spell ;-) No offence dude

[honeysprite]

For BoogieStarman. :)
