Blondie " Rapture Riders" ( 2006 Video Remix)

[trewells]

Flavor Flav, is that you?!

[djbillygee]

WHAT PURE GENIOUS!!

[tellthetruthoryour]

Blondie's "Rapture" was released January 1981 and was the first video exposure for Fab Five Freddy and what was considered the birth of rap around the early 80s in New York City.

[totallyremiss]

Fabulous Remix.

[AnteCashovina]

This is a VIDEO mix . they are not the ones who made the MUSIC mix , got it:P it was someone else.

[JerseyRedDevil58]

[shackleforic]

Blondie and Doors wow pretty dam good, a winner thank.

[atchoo2u]

[chopinsky1810]

Yes, very good mix. Sounds very natural.

[ayla8251]

Rapture and Jim Morrison's Rapture-yes!

[balboaboats]

Very doable Debbie here. Major wood attack @ 2:09

[thatwouldbeme55]

This fits my definition of art -- visual, aural art. It is complex yet simple. It makes statements about how we pigeonhole people and races. Then it takes us on a wild ride to Wonderland. It's just plain fun.

[Nivektube1958]

Fantastic !

[comadyret]

Freaking awesome - You guys (andersonandcarter) should get some kind of award for making already groovy music groooooovier....

Still this is already some of the best music made - yoy still got my vote for best mixers around - KEEP IT UP :) - Love it!

Door's= The best always, and vill be the best!!

[beckyhammonbest]

Great in all ways except for one thing...I would have like to actually SEE Jim Morrison in the video...

[jackgavino]

the best song where there is Jim Morrison!!

[Scorpion1977]

Damn...when i was looking for a "Rapture" remix, I didn't expect THIS...The Doors and Blondie...if Jim Morrison had made it a bit longer, his music may have sounded just like this...AMAZING!!!

[jvarga31]

classic

[johnnythunders78]

Fab Five Freddie told me everybody's high

DJ's spinnin' are savin' my mind

Flash is fast, Flash is cool

Francois sez fas, Flashe' no do

And you don't stop, sure shot

Go out to the parking lot

And you get in your car and you drive real far

And you drive all night and then you see a light

And it comes right down and lands on the ground

And out comes a man from Mars

[Alex28Chicago]

Fab Five Freddie told me everybody's STYLE

A DJ's spinnin A SET IN MY MIND

[trewells]

Pretty cool!

GREAT BY by GHP gohomeproductions

[dale1966gto]

i think debbie was the first white vocalist to do rap. this was early 80's and no one really had heard this type music. it may indeed be blondie's only rap tune. some say madonna did a little rap but it was much later. if someone knows a white band that did rap this early, let me know.

[conversescooby]

i dont think any1 did it before the best 80s band ever! but i think she rapped in another song but i forgot what it was called

[generationx1966]

Actually it began in the early 70's the first group to make it noticed was the Sugar Hill Gang with "Rapper's Delight".But I agree Blondie's Rapture was recognized as one of the first,be it by a black or white group,just not THE first.

[gupsnot]

I'm not a fan of mash-ups, but this has been so well done. Bravo!

Riders & Rap-ture. Deb Harry's 'Rapture' was my first real experience with a rap theme running through a song. How things have moved along since then!

[tietziano65]

Geil Geil Geil ! Wundervoll ! Perfekt !

Danke.

[ElectricRay]

truly superb...

[homalba]

excellent mix bravo c'est magnifique keep the good work

[dbrew2u]

Beautiful and the Mix is awesome ! I love MashUps and this is one of the Best i have heard !

[54spiritedwill54]

That was hot...

[kbdkbd99]

Good Job.

[bhols52]

Best mash-up ever. Excellent use of the old Blondie clips and solo Debbie clips. Esp 'Sweet and Low' and 'I Want That Man.'

[AAAttendee]

GREAT JOB!!

[bangzoom77]

Excellent !!

[WoofManToronto]

OMG WOW! Fabulous!

[shoulderlift]

Both songs fit excellently together.....and funny that both singers (Deborah Harry and Jim Morrison) also have such a sexy mouth !

[titusXpullo]

Best mashup ever

[sico747]

un asko no sean piratas nadie komo morrison komo echan a perder las kanciones kon sus ritmitos idiotas....un asko

[killingracists]

Que imbecil eres!!

[gavins1970]

One of the best mash up's ever.cheers for uploading

[AvionDream]

I agree, a match made in heaven : )

[Tim777G]

Love it!

[dylansharmonica]

The mix was made by Go Home Productions & MTV Mash.

[LiquidIntellect]

Can't stop listening, love both Blondie and The Doors and these go so well together.

[Leib33]

Really, this was brilliant. I don't know how you thought to match these together, but they sure mesh well. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Thanks much Ciao !

[boydkoers]

nizee =]

[JuanPaccl]

con esa mirada

[i000Luv000music]

Whoever was the brainchild for the idea of the remixing of these two songs together was a GENIUS in my opinion.

I was nearly hesitant about coming to listen to this when I saw it listed, for fear that it wouldn't sound right.

I'm glad I "did" check it out.

[aliceinwolfyland]

Can I get this mix on Itunes or somewhere else? DIG IT!

[SeanElGatoTelevision]

@aliceinwolfyland: It can be found on the Blondie CD/DVD compilation "Sound+Vision".

[mongo223]

Groovetastic!

[niallkennedy23]

i listen to this when i'm standing at bus stops with my face smeared in tiger balm.

which isn't that often, but with so many of these things "once is enough".

[racketemensch]

I do wonder if simply by cueing up at the vocals, simultaneously, if the timing stays together. The chords work well, and the lyrics.

Are they naturally in time? I say just play them both full on, maybe slow or speed one to stay in time...it is not too much to digest musically..a sort of musical 8-ball so to speak....

[Faeden]

Not bad, but it had no images or video of The Doors or Jim Morrison, when this song is a mix up of the two.

[cryptoamnesia]

Aye, I thought that about Apocalypse Now. It needed some concert footage of Big Jim over the start. What was Coppola thinking?

[retrorio]

Great video full of classic Debbie moments. Thanks!

[caballerogroovy]

bravo, bravisimoooooo the music remix,the doors and blondie!!!!!

[afytabby]

Funktastic!

[CanGuy70]

100% Pure Perfection!

[ecwforever]

Awesome.  I generally can't stand rap but "Rapture" was a major exception.

[dinker333]

That was hot...

[deadpilotsburn]

Even hip-hop, which everyone from Vibe to Time magazine acknowledges as the music of the '90s, has a few blond roots, for while Grandmaster Flash and Kool Herc invented it, Blondie brought it to the masses -- "Rapture" was, after all, the first No. 1 rap song ever.

[josephh6]

i love this remix...long live jim morrison and debby harry

[brthryr]

Excellent visual choice mix, very tasteful. By far the best in the x-mix series.

[robert8n]

Great Doors remix, but the girl cannot rap - awful. Better with some deep voiced male rapper.

[MattHatter]

Dude "Rapture" came out in 1980! There are white people out there who to this day claim the first rap they ever heard was by Debbie Harry. Believe it or not, it's actually considered a pioneering song in the gendre.

[guyinsf]

I'm sure Rapture was the first rap song many black people heard too! Not all black people were geographically or socially connected to the early rap/hip hop scenes.

[orgasmtron1]

Rapture was not the first fucking rap song, you can tell the way it was performed that it was influenced by underground movement that was known as rap, in fact I think the Jackson 5 used a rap line in one of their songs before blondie ever did

[guyinsf]

Calm down, I didn't say Rapture was the first rap song. I said that it might have been the first one many black people heard like most white america when rapture was released because rap in its infancy in the 70's and early 80's was not access to everyone.

[christine1110]

This is extremely well done. I love this video and mix! Kudos

[HERRERAMORRISON]

genial las palabras no alcanzan

[jenjdickinson]

I grew up listening to Blondie. I also adored her because she reminded me a bit of Marilyn Monroe for whom I'm a huge fan. As it turns out Ms Deborah Harry herself also loves Marilyn. Great tastes girl!

This was one of my favorite songs when it came out.

This is an amazing marriage of two incredible songs.

Jim Morrison's part in it is incredibly haunting and beautiful when intertwined with Blondie's piece. I love it!

[MChelada]

More of a Blondie slant than a Doors slant.

[CofCGuy]

2 of the most underated groups in terms of the deep groove they both captured in their respective eras. Awesome mix.

[HairyOldCopywriter]

Jim's ghost just gave me this message "Love it Babe!" "I didn't mean to leave you guys, it was an accident"

[IPANEMA2006]

Excelente vídeo , grande idéia!

[omargaliano]

Why did you have to die Jim?

[pitberlin]

just another one... another great one.

you are still still the best.

makes me wonder about all this talent and feeling for music.

[479Lucy]

Where is the goat?

[marzqi]

props to you!

[cambridgechange]

My apologies, A&C. I will wear my hair shirt for a week. The video is excellent, I thought it was the official MV. So, er, props to you.

[cambridgechange]

Well let me be the first; this a fantastic mix of two classics. I would never have thought of juxtaposing them together.
