Blondie - The tide is high

[colinmusik]

I have a feeling if you like Blondie Tune, you'll like this animated video for one of my songs... Let's see if I can keep up. Take a look at "my heart belongs to you" on my page. Let me know if I pass the audition. Go easy on me. I worked really freakin hard on this crap.. Hugs and kisses ... Colin

[tatertotslove3]

The 80's had the weirdest music videos...

[c64c64oldschool]

The number one song on November 16th 1981.

[ahnicle56]

She looks so stoned.

[roughjustice2007]

One of those rare occasions where the cover is better than the original......

[Wellch]

Why is the picture not moving but I am still hearing it clearly. Is there a bug on Youtube now?

[warpedcomedy]

@Wellch Shit, I thought it was something wrong with the computer.

[StarshipRangerNev]

Is that Darth vadrer?

[veganisextremelygood]

THIS SONG HAS A LATINO SOUND WITH THE SAXOPHONES!

[Contakum]

Very nice song Blondie.......I miss you.

[CMloveify]

Perfect song for a 53 degree January day.

=)

Makes me happy.

[AEMoreira81]

The song should be modified to say: The "Crimson" Tide is High and so am I. :)

[NSStoner]

don't hate on the beautiful blondie

[LifeIsForEmos8D]

Only a blonde would wipe up spilled water and then wring the wet rag.

Just kidding...but seriously, WHY??

[TheDugabug]

Great song. Dumb video.

[quakerninja]

sings: The tide is high and sooooooo am I.

[Richardgwm]

WOW! That video sucked.

[bellesdejourx]

Im 14 now and I think Debbie must have just been the coolest woman ever.

[quakerninja]

@bellesdejourx still is.

[bellesdejourx]

@quakerninja true

[DontTaseMeBro77]

gold fish in your window, dance with a rather short Darth Vader wearing a intergalactic gas mask, take a stroll in Manhattan circa 1980, Apollo 11 taking off, knock over a bunch of boxes, fairies show up...... I like it!

[jemappelledrwholuvr]

i like the random apearence of darth vader. lol

[doetim]

Not true, when I was 15 I was into Blondie, the Cure and Echo and the Bunnymen.

[Indoman911]

00:42 the backside of darth vader??

[fiddlefarts]

What is Paul McCartney doing at 0:08?!

[shakshakpoutoupoum]

@fiddlefarts The nose is larger than Paul's, and the fold above the upper lip isn't Paul's either. Sorry, but it's Clem Burke.

[deathman11902]

Wake up one day a there are giant fucking fish outside my window.

[kja427]

I must say this: Being that Debby Harry comes from Miami, I guees she figured that she had to do something that sounded tropical. By the way, since The '83 movie SCARFACE was based in miami, and one of it's stars was Michelle Pfeiffer, because Ms. Pfeiffer looks so much like Debby Harry, maybe we should call Michelle Pfeiffer,"Debby Harry Jr." What do you think?

[oleano33]

0:16 Jogi Löw ? :D

[AFinleyProductions]

who sang this originally

[LittleSweety]

This song was 30 years ago no.13 in the world-year-end-charts #blondie

[mersiha10]

I can't believe this jam is from 30 years ago. Damn I feel old.

[doetim]

It's pretty sad that when you type the tide is high the first one to pop up is the Atomic Kittens version. That disney crap gets almost 10 million views while this one is not even 1 million yet. What is wrong with you people?

[skipdow3]

@doetim

The same thing happens with "My Maria" ----Brooks & Dunn pops up. Listen to the version by the guy that wrote it-----BW Stevenson. You'll see who can put heart and soul into it, and who the two wannabe's copied. They strain so hard, but don't make it.

BW, or Charles (his given name) died way too early in his singing career (39). He recorded it when Brooks & Dunn were in Kindergarten

[TigerLikesTail]

@doetim

Try to remember when you were 10-15 years old & you'll have the answer.

10-15 year olds have the time to go to the same page over & over & over + they are obsessed with image & bullsh*t... I mean we were similar back as kids. Just imagine if we had the media they have 24/7. So the popalicious imitations will always have more views simply because of the target audience.

[Vote4Ringo]

This was my Grandpa's favorite band .

He died three years ago today .

Here comes the tears .

[jcudal32]

sign. Now I have to go find "mr2448" in the comment section

[LesbianVampireLover]

Deborah Harry is the coolest of the cool. Man, this was 30 years ago! They sure don't make 'em like Harry and Chrissie Hynde these days.

[hailherrosner]

Who are the 50 idiots whom don't like Debbie Harry? She's F***en Brilliant. Too bad music these days sucks and lacks in substance, we need more original talents like Blondie, love it!!

[pablohoney214]

i love the end debbie dancing with darth vader lol she looks so cute.

[curvy71]

i remember this song

[wolfmans46]

Tide is High, then flip the single over and get Atomic,..or do you get Fade Away and Radiate... Go Blondie..Go Girl

[chris080270]

Blondie hit #1 on Billboard Hot 100 on 1/31/81. Thanks for posting it! :)

[samluvbooks]

[samluvbooks]

ok let me sum it wat i meant was tht blondie been singing this song way longer then atomic kitten and some others but watever no one can beat blondie singing this song. so leave me alone now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[samluvbooks]

[DragonRose88]

@samluvbooks

Blondie is the band and Deborah Harry is the singer and they didn't write this song

[BasketCaseBurnout]

@samluvbooks the song was originally written for a band called the Paragons

[Rodrigoteacher]

I remember the first time I saw this back in 1980. I really enjoyed it! I thought they were nuts! I do really love this song.

[samluvbooks]

atomic kitten can kiss blondie ass cuz u

cant beat blondie on her song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[keithmoonI]

@samluvbooks it's not her song

[devilchild66606]

atomic kitten was way better!

[Sevenwondersgypsy]

Not the best video...but because Deborah Harry is in it, makes it fuckin awsome.

[CandyHam]

darth vadeR???

[Zorn76]

She Is the group, essentially.

[jennyalixD]

the most weird video ever!!!!:D

[Wellch]

The group is called Blondie. She is Deborah Harry.

[IndianaParkWars]

@Wellch Yes

[itta320]

just waiting for Darth Vader to move or turn his head.

[TheAlberto2014]

[quakerninja]

Blondie is a person.

[Brandonisrad18]

[GreenIsMyThing97]

my mom used to sing this to me when i was little(:

[Primitive26]

My favorite here!

[RaInBoWsHoRtY123]

00:42 darth vader????

[LimitlessHate]

[windexism]

00:42 lolwut?

[jodymeach]

HAHAHAHA!!!! MOVIN ON......

[CMloveify]

You will ALWAYS be my #1 band. ALWAYS. <3

[coolwafferman]

They played this song on "Everybody Hates Chris". Miss Morello, Chris's, school principal was singing it after eating some Lasagna laced with marijuana..lol

[TheSmallfry72]

@coolwafferman i can't believe some people don't know who Blondie Wow How Pathetic!!! 

[Caisence919]

@coolwafferman lol yes I remember that shit

[nerisob]

Falta el inicio con redoble de tambor. Ver y oir:

BLONDIE - The tide is high (1980) nerisob

[HappinessCentral]

she washed the floor, then squeezed the water back on the floor? lolwut

[JuggernogJunky]

2 things: She kinda looks like Hot Lips from M*A*S*H in the beginning and 0:44 DARTH VADER!?! WTF

[GeorgeVreelandHill]

Still a great vid.

George Vreeland Hill

[Archeminos]

@Joe2000King Dude, thats totally vader...

[BigAL0486]

@Joe2000King still doesnt change the fact that it is darth vader

[BigAL0486]

@Joe2000King still say its darth vader....thats totally his suit and helmet. whether its meant to be or not from the back it soo looks like darth vader.

[TheBFFsRcool]

Ok No offense but Atomic Kitten's way better in my opinion

[doetim]

@TheBFFsRcool None taken, we all have resigned to the fact that Atomic Kitten's version is better if you're a fucking 12 yr old preteen who's just gotten over Dora the Explorer. 

[AngelaRed]

Which one of those guy's name chris?

[zrated186]

Chris Stein is the 2nd guy you see at the beginning of the video. He was in long sexual relationship with Debbie Harry.

[ozzyosbournefan08]

every time i watch this video it makes me want to watch Scarface

[torkerbmx]

she would not shit right for a week after u know what :)

[hoypolloi79]

so......aliens like star wars too?



[chrisjmcg]

I got my very first hard on (that I rememebr) looking at my dad'c copy of their GH album ... where Debbie Harry is in a white dress, slightly bending over.

A true story that I ain't ashamed to share, LOL.

[PsionicPr]

@BigAL0486 I concur!

[kcmet79]

always wondered why she sounds like she starts laughing thru the outro of this song (esp starting around 3:26)... not talking about the weird two "high!" parts, but just the rest of the singing around the same time, sounds like she is halfway giggling. lol

[TwoDeadQueens]

I presume the conversation went something like, "do we have to go out? Can't we just make the video right here in the office?"

[goglerin26]

0:15 Jogi Löw

[supermodelmusicman]

Need a woman for good cooking! Looks don´t matter. Could be a blonde. For all the other stuff I´ve got four supermodels waiting for me at the beach. See the experimental music-video-project on my channel. Some hate it, some just don´t like it. But see for yourself. Ay caramba!

[DigitalCyborgman]

WTF? Darth Vader & Mariachi playing ? WTF? Still, I rather watch this music video than that crap of Justin Beiber

[iVictoriousVevo]

i love the atomic kitten version

[BigAL0486]

Darth Vader WTF

[The100417]

You Tube Music

Dizel Here

[RaInBoWsHoRtY123]

rrrrasta!!!!!!!

[dasarge2440]

not only was the tide high, but she was as well in this video....

b

[dasarge2440]

not only was the tide high, but she was as well in this video....



[zrated186]

I think she was high all the time.

[dkirov]

Is Darth Vader watching her? o.O

[zrated186]

I'm in love with a 60 something year old woman. Debbie you are, and always will be the best!

[buddyeagle]

Good tune, bad video.

[buddyeagle]

Darth n Vader it's you? please answer me?

[badgernation74]

at 0:34 she looks like Chryssie Hynde with bleached out hair

[brigmiel92]

its like watching a mentos commercial on shrooms going back in time to a galaxy far, far...... away....

[kennethj1956]

One Sunday night in 1980 I was driving around midnight 20miles out of Guadalupe, CA back to Santa Barbara; bright full moon,... mildly tipsy from drinking Medoc & having large dinner at the 'Far Western'. 'The Tide is high' was on loud, the bright moon in the windshield, the lines on the dark deserted highway........tick tock tick tock to the Beat...I started hallucinating cartoon characters and a 'cat clock' with the eyes & tail keeping the beat. It was so surreal; had to pull over or crash.

[inthexzone]

The first Ska song? Maybe

[flipy911]

@inthexzone I'd say so :)

[buddyeagle]

@inthexzone Off course not, please sir.

[1haruspex]

she wrap the water on the floor again

[alimared]

Song takes us back to the time beautiful

[MrRyan1962a]

THe Cars of the 60s, the girls of the 70s, and the music of the 80s. What a life America. And in the 90s, we started giving it away to any country with the highest bid.

[clockworkorange09]

@MrRyan1962a

[sbchelldiver]

Today, if they use a car in a music video, it would be a $200,000 Bentley; back then, it was a $1500 Corolla, & it after the video was done, it was used to take everybody home...how times have changed LOL

[Potatious]

Fuck man. I was having a great day until I read tool lyrics and listened to Bill Hicks comedy. Starting thinking about far out philosophy again, like when I smoked reefers. Simple philosophy man, that doesn't disrupt my reality - don't make me realize how insignificant I am again. Please.

[newrealization12]

@Potatious I enjoy bill hicks and tool. you get nothing from ignoring the harsh reality. its best to be real with yourself in my opinion. Blondies cool too.

[Potatious]

@newrealization12 Agreed, its amazing you happened by with such a response!

[newrealization12]

@Potatious Hell yeah. I think there is a strong connection between music and stand up. I also like George Carlin Louis Ck and Doug Stanhope.

[igornonsuch]

@Potatious It's just a ride. 

[louisgjordan2]

The men are watching Blondie through the high-rise window. Then the tide rises, even above her window (fishes). Then some of the water comes down the stairs, which she wipes up (she doesn't give up). She gets the men, rides to the shuttle, and escapes to space where she visits her #1 man, who is cool and aloof, dark & mysterious, as she dances to entice him. The other aliens on the planet dance & play with the other band members. It takes "Aint no mountain high enough" even furter.

[ariel1972]

What a babe.

[AthenaSims]

old music '-'

[CMloveify]

I love this song. I wouldn't like it very much if only Atomic Kitten's version existed... I love it because of Blondie. They made it great. Period.

[NewAmsterdamWales]

@Amber221ful where is Luke ? I am your father - who was Darth's father - nobody? that is convenient.

[Cassand0id]

Love those white booties.

[phillygrl69]

@Cassand0id Me toooo!

[KeiPyn24]

So Darth Vader is a Voyeur? Darth Voyeur.

[lovemaker1972]

@KeiPyn24 woow blondie was a hottie back then would like to love her from behind or what?

[luke9275]

what is he doing there

[luke9275]

?? darth vader??

[djscrapp18]

darth vader lol

[TheNegro0607]

blondie beatiful""""""""

[Debbiec4vett]

My husband says I don't look like you, but every body else says we look exactly alike lo

[Debbiec4vett]

Still the most beautiful girl in the world....

[mr2448]

while the Atomic Kittens, who do a good version of this song, have to move around to exude sex. Blondie just has to stand there with no movement at all.

[abridgedfanboy]

@mr2448 Also, the Atomic Kittens basically wore trash bags on stage. Blondie had way more class. :D

[Kemayyy]

@mr2448 blondie is not a person u idiot

[darthtortugas]

@Kemayyy since shes the only blonde in the band (fake at that) debbie is/will be blondie for life

[zrated186]

Blondie is a group. Debbie Harry is a woman. Got it?

[darthtortugas]

@zrated186 anyone of the band members could have been replaced it would have still been blondie remove debbie and you got nothing. debbie is blondie

[doetim]

@darthtortugas Yes and no. Clem is a once in the lifetime drummer, he's one of the greats and blondie's music is so special because of his drumming. On the songwriting area, Chris Stein and Jimmy Destri were tremendous talents! They were 2 of the best ones of their generation! If Debbie had others and not these 3, it might have been different. She would still be debbie harry but the music might suffer a bit.

[gomachols]

@Kemayyy uh, yes it is. its debbie harry you fucking twat. people been calling her that since she was a kid. where do you think they got the name of the band asshole??

[nightowl685]

@Kemayyy dont be mean. we dont have to be mean. remember, no mater where you go, there you are.

[TheApril823]

@Kemayyy Blondie is a person, YOU IDIOT!!!

[zrated186]

@TheApril823 Blondie may be a person, but the singer goes by the name Debbie Harry. : )

[doetim]

@TheApril823 You shouldn't call someone an idiot while making an incorrect statement, Blondie is the name of her group, her actual name is Debbie Harry. Who's the idiot now?

[TheSmallfry72]

@Kemayyy UUUuum really then whose blondie ? lol FYI forest gump Debra Harry is her formal name n Blondie was her stage name OTay ?? Wow ur a jckass next time get ur facts str8 ..lmao

[solfantic]

Blondie is agless, she will die beautiful!

[pibn8tive]

I just watched the show 'spun' i was sure she was on it. She's still fuc*ing gorgeous if that was her.

[CMloveify]

@pibn8tive Yep, it's Debbie. Lol

[TheShaneWorld18]

Just came back from california and I heard this song for the first time!!

[Cloudstrrifeee]

what the fuck, vader?

[energyparticle]

@Cloudstrrifeee lmao!

[TheKawaiiFreak]

i think Blondie has a crush on Darth?

[YeoYeo32]

@TheKawaiiFreak I thinkit was the other way around. Not even Darth Vader was strong enough to resist the allure of Deborah Harry!

[AirCanada04]

Beautiful voice, Way better than the crap in the charts today. Its sad the kids and teens of today listen to dreadful music. Why not bring back these classics?

[awesomeblueberry]

@AirCanada04 just have kids and fill their heads with this stuff before they mainstream music can even try to get 'em. that's what my mom did, and now i listen to almost everything other than mainstream.

[AirCanada04]

@awesomeblueberry Wow, the sad thing is, you have to either go to youtube to listen to this music or use pandora.

[Napalmboy3]

I finally found the song!!!! it took me 13 years to find this!! omg thank you so much!!

[Smiley6669]

The tide is high, hurricane Irene is heading up the East Coast as I watch this vid.

[SukaStyle]

We're all just making plans.. for Nigel!

[fishypaw]

Debbie does Darth!

[knvbossn]

For some reason this song reminds of Hawaii.

[thefilesofmrx]

Jesus, those fuckers were high as shit......

[josh2ross]

whats with darth???

[daypeshmodd]

HAHAHA! This is the worst video ever! But I love Blondie, always did. I bought the albums when they came out. Never seen such a shitty vid before though, and I've seen tons.

[souixis]

@daypeshmodd you obviously haven't seen the music video for Friday by rebecca black

[daypeshmodd]

@souixis No I hadn't, but after you told me about it, I just did. Yes, the video sucks big time, but it's mostly the song that's total crap. It looks like it's aimed at a Sesame Street public (prolly is).

But, come on, the Tide is High with it's horrible special effects that have no relation to the song whatsoever really wins here! Actually, I can't imagine that there exists a worst video.

[souixis]

@daypeshmodd none of it really makes sense but i though a house surrounded by giant goldfish was pretty damn cool

[daypeshmodd]

@souixis You've got a point there. I'll give you that. But the rest, really....it's just sooooooo bad!

[bootyknocker2010]

I'd bang her 10 ways of Sunday. Twice on Monday.

[OmegaSe7en]

@Amber221ful Ya it is! She is one with the force!

[MrSivram28]

She has very bad stage presence.

[Slinkyizaninja]

@MrSivram28 shes only a tad drugged up lol

[girllycrave95]

i remember this song was played on radio disney once i used to sing to it 24/7. moms the one who got me to listen to this type of music and i still do haha n im only 16.

[prausch65]

I love the NYC street scenes..especially the opening!

[runescapechode]

OK is that Darth Vader 1:18

[MrHendrix17]

@runescapechode Watch 3:34 and tell me its Vader.

His back does share a resemblance.

[asoygeboy19]

good song gan

[weskerfan70]

Blondie rulez!

[ReviewKillers]

she is such a badass..
