Absolutely awesome song. I was practically a baby when this song was popular, I remember it clearly. But at that time it was a "fun song" and everytime I listened to it after, it was supposed to be a fun song... it is undoubtedly a "love song" and has lots of meaning. Specially with couples who are about to break up. Don't give up on your love that easy. I'm not giving up.
Whoever filmed this deserves a lot of credit-the rhythm and unity of movement,Debby's seductiveness ,her natural and direct interaction with the audience,the extraordinary orchestra!, the joyful expressions on so many faces all captured so perfectly.
One other thing: this performance is almost a generation after Debbie Harry'/Blondie's original recording of it. From their appearance, most of the audience here hadn't even reached double figures agewise at that point. Yet they know, and love, every word of its lyrics. Pretty cool.
Me parece que Stein se aprovechó de Debbie Harry por la inexperiencia de la misma y la usó para sí mismo en todos los sentidos basándose en el pasado de ella.
the orcherstra is A+the lyrics are great! Once you hear this song it just sticks in your head year after year! thank you for putting this wonderful song on youtube! Nobody sings it quite like Blondie!
Love the instrumentation - the brass and strings with the coolest amount of percussion!! Love the song and ESPECIALLY love that Debbie Harry is still singing and still sounds so good!
Asi es mi amiga julieta , tu eres de las mias Blondie es el gran amor de mi vida , lo digo en una forma de exaltar su manera de ser y entregar su talento, esa es la cancio'n k marco' mi vida , y se k la vida m permitira un dia estar frente a ella para expresarle toda mi admiracio'n Dios bendiga esta gran mujer!!!!!!!!
Ni los años pueden robarle lo que es suyo mujer!!!!! Lo q el tiempo NO se llevó!
Vemos en este video claramnete lo que los años no pueden robarle a una mujer: su charme , su estilo...y Acá vemos a la rubia de Blondie...se acuerdan de ella? una grande la "vieja" la orquesta que se consiguió!!!
@jamiesexonlegs For one thing she's about 60, for another thing this is a LIVE recording. You obviously don't have a clue and have never sung in a band in your life.
@jamiesexonlegs wow, you're just a hatefull person it seems. She sounded fine to me, and everyone seemed to be having a blast, which is really the point. How can anyone have anyting bad to say about Blondie? She's fantastic.
Here's a message for all you Muslim men who wrap up their women in veils: Grow up and deal with your sexual desires. Manage your own sex drives. Don't make controlling yourself, someone else's responsibility! Unveil your woman and start acting like men!
Thanks for a fantastic video, ogmuk ! ! Wow, no skimping on the orchestra, THAT's for sure! But that's what made old school music GOOD. Put this on my 1980 playlist for when it first topped the charts. I can show you the world . . . . in music, with 500 playlists covering 300 artists and a list for every year since 1900. It's a journey through time & across the globe.
Debbie Harry is such a great pop performer....saw Blondie's show recently and the lady still has the rock star goods going on. Love the diversity of styles of Blondie's music too......
Awesome! One of the true pioneers of music, so many artists ought to pay tribute to Blondie and Debbie. I'm so glad I grew up to their music. Long live Debbie!
@serengiv I was just thinking... Those idiots are zillions of times smarter than you, someone who watches a video to criticize... And that person you call ''that'' is one of the most important women in the whole music industry, someone just a little more important than you. I feel pity for you
Instead of an entire orchestra, it would have been more cost effective to simply hire 4 Mariachi trumpeters with big hats and it wouldn't have had the same effect as when you get "Rick Rolled"! You know, the sound just doesn't fit the image.... a little, red headed guy with a big, black voice or bow tied, tuxedo trumpeters with a half intoxicated, sultry, tequila sound
Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooohooooooooooooooooooo !!! it's like a big party !!! Deborah is soooo happy singing for her ppl :) I'm smiling :) thanks for sharing....
