I remember bringing their debut album "Blondie" over to a friend's house. He didn't get it. I said, "They're playing this album like crazy on KROQ in Los Angeles. Blondie is going to be huge." Probably the only time in my life that I was right about a prediction.
I have to say and I have never said this before about any other artist song but the original is SH*T compared to this version. Debbie spits the lyrics like vemon and the band step up the speed of the sound of the original to make it their own powerhouse hit single. Jack Lee wrote the song, singer in The Nerves but I bet when he hear Blondie's version he fell to his knees in total awe. He did write the song Will Anything Happen for the band also the two songs featured on The Album Parallel Lines.
The original is totally CRAP!!! Blondie turn this song into a powerhouse full throttle pop song. Who know the Nerves before Blondie give them a platform. I will give them this though Jack Lee wrote 2 great songs Hanging On The Telephone/Will Anything Happen.
@biancawantsyoutx-Nah. But if you think so then you owe Blondie big time. Because if they didn't cover the song, there is a really strong chance no one would have ever heard of it. The only reason they heard of it is because the president of their fan club lived in LA and was a music nut and sent them a tape. That is the only thing that stood between this cover and the song fading into complete oblivion.
If you compare this clip to others featuring lip synch of the studio version, this sounds like a slightly different vocal mix on Debbie--she's louder here and with more reverb than in the other mixes. This is actually a superior mix of the song!
This song is raw and real punk/new-wave, one of the best songs of the late 70's.

I like the original version by the Nerves better, but Blondie's version is pretty good.
