Blondie - X Offender

[wallyinwales]

Yes Chris,Debbie,Jimmy were the main song writers. Nigel bass guitarist did write One Way Or Another and the brilliant Union City Blues with Debbie he joined the band after Gary go the sack. Gary guitarist wrote the stunning words to Presence Dear. This song X Offender was about Gary being arrested for under age sex and getting a girl pregnant. Though he didn't know the girl was under age as he met her in a nightclub and started seeing her. The original song was called Sex Offender.

Se parece a Mr Brightside de Killers.

dear debbie so hot so sweet then and still now i love this song

[racheeel69]

@wakkadastadio ...

[NormanStansfield1]

The best part was Gary Valentine, Clem Burke, Jimmy Destri and Debbie. They should have dumped Chris Stein - what a bore.

[randomaccount39]

@NormanStansfield1 Chris was one of their main songwriters AND he was Debbie's boyfriend .. plus this is just one clip. The whole group radiates charisma

[racheeel69]

wait, am I in a quentin tarantino movie?

[odinswolf1969]

Its a privilege to watch Clem Burke on drums, master at work. I could watch him and Rat Scabies (The Damned) blatter the skins all day

[lrd9999]

Wow! It's VEVO and it didn't stall once; never saw that happen before. I love seeing them all decked out like this, but I miss that little rap thing at the opening.

[borskyviolin]

@lrd9999 Actually it's not Vevo.

[lrd9999]

@borskyviolin Yes, it's a little odd that an emimusic video would still have the VEVO logo. There must be a wiki page on that somewhere.

[doetim]

The original and greatest hipster chick of rock and roll!

[zxJak3xz]

pure brilliance- [slf]pompey

[terriveryfried]

Brilliant. The two people who said they don't like this must be idiots.

[complexco]

The intro is epic, where is it? I saw you standing in the corner... you looked so big and fine...

[MagicFreddie]

God, this video makes me wanna start a Gary Valentine fanclub!

[EnjoyTheSurface]

is it madonna, is it gaga, no it is Debbie

[JOSECHETATRIBUTE]

I love the organ riff on this song! Jimmy Destri baby!

[pnt1204]

I love this performance - everyone seems so youthful and alive - especially with all the dancing and bouncing around. This must have been before they all became stoners.

[pnt1204]

I'd like to rip Debbie's pink pants to shreds.

[McFlylvzbel666]

great musicians!!!!

[ftsjr]

I LOVE Blondie!

[HarryPotter87]

Debbie looks like a Pink Lady

[paranoidkid17]

Is that a Voltron toy hahah cool =)

[ZedHqX4]

@paranoidkid17 THERE IS A GAIKING TOY!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TheFragiled]

Man I'd fogotten how damn good they were back then :-)

[DarthIvan3]

Valentine's backwards jump at 2:46 and his dancing along with Debbie is EPIC!

[ihasch]

Where's the spoken introduction?

[Yootubebites]

Clem's drumming is top notch as always.

[MyCh3mic41Rom4nc3]

fringe =S lol

[WhoAmI4631]

Oh Debbie, you can sex offend me anytime.

[MarcoLucien]

Crist stein on bass I see?

[boltonox]

She's soooo HOT and that little Irish jigg Deborah does just makes it bizzaro cool! Imagine bringing out a song in todays bullshit P.C world with the end verse! And when i get out there's no doubt, ill be sex offensive to you!

Todays P.C feminazi crowd would be stabbing knitting needles into their ear drums and setting fire to shit while running around screaming BAN IT! BAAAAN IT!

[pazuuzuuuu]

Let's go.

[discomadame]

on the record debbie says in the intro: i saw u standing on the corner, you looked so big and fine, I really wanted to go out with you, so i put my heart on the line...

[SimonCowellAI]

some of these videos youtube viewers make using EMI content are pretty good, EMI should acquire them and use them, instead of blocking them, I mean , use them on EMI's channel, instead of deleting them off youtube, it's like good, free content people can still enjoy and EMI can PROFIT from.

[hinodecho69]

Debbie Harry = one of the few remaining talented female pop vocalists.

[Jurassicprince]

1:34 - 1:48 is so beautiful :)

I love Blondie.

[Ma965]

absolutely GREAT!

[kansasinnovember]

THE ORIGINAL AND BEST LINE-UP

[themightycelestial]

Wow....

while there are several reasons why it's great to be able to see early footage like this of Blondie,

one of the main ones is to be able to enjoy watching Debra Harry at the end of this vid, do the dance made famous years later by Molly Ringwald from "The Breakfast Club".

[bvddan]

@themightycelestial I never noticed that before but Love Molly doing that dance!

[97bruin]

the part where debbie says "public defender" while raising her fist is the definition of ICONIC...

there is something very euphoric and liberating about this performance...I can't imagine someone watching this and not wanting to get up and start dancing...

It makes me sad that this type of music doesn't make it onto the radio or the charts anymore....

[doetim]

@97bruin

"It makes me sad that this type of music doesn't make it onto the radio or the charts anymore...."

Actually this type of music isn't MADE anymore.

[INSIDERUK]

 FUCKING LOVE YOU DEBBIE

[msmdude68]

Love this song and video! It's so Stupid that Radio Stations made them change the Name from Sex Offender as X Offender is just 2 letters LESS! Love Debroah with her ponytail and pink combo! I Still have no clue why people don't lick Blondie's Debut Album as I think it's one of their BEST. LOVE DEBORAH HARRY AND BLONDIE!!!!!!!!

[clintbronson5]

lol I had that SHOGUN WARRIOR toy ;)

[sundaygirl1982]

They are so cool, I love Debbie Harry !!

[maida1982a]

gary valentine still in the band. one of the joys of seeing this band was watching debbie dance (using that term loosely). it was fun and funny. oh, yeah, and that voice!

[80sOldSkool]

As far as I know, Gary V was kicked out/left after this first lp. he did contribute to the next lp "plastic letters" in the form of "i'm always touched by your presence".

[contrafax]

@maida1982a probably cuz she was loaded most of the time. In most of their performances Deborah looks sooo ripped

[lukeyluke19957]

they are a great band.. debbie is awesome

[calcio90]

The band at it's prime...

AWESOME!

Love the way Debbie dances.

[kookooboy]

And where's "In the Sun"?

[kookooboy]

Hey, you cut off the beginning (spoken word) part, where the camera was zoomed in on Debbie's ponytail!

[80sOldSkool]

Correct! That bit is cool, " I saw you on the corner, you looked so big and fine, I really wanted to go out with you, so when you smiled I laid my heart on the line...."
