LOVE the DRUMS, Of course, the rest of it is amazing, too. Harry is particularly hot in this video. My friend and I were wondering how many of the people in this audience ended up dead junkies or of other causes. One cool thing about Debby Harry was that she was INVITING in her lyrics, not a fucking getawayfrommebitch like Beyonce and Madonna and a million other much uglier hookers of pop music.
Forget GaGa, Give me Deb any day or hour of the week........Babe did not rely on the shock value like GAGA......She was sexy cool and could ROCK........
Gawd I love this! I was 14 when this came out! I just heard it again on little Steven's Underground Garage and was like dayum! So good to re-discover such great music!
"Verite" Its so obvious only someone who knows what they are talking about could recognize you spelled it wrong. (forloveoffilm)I'm sure you understand since the meaning of the word is truth which is why I even mentioned it.And yes I am aware of the context of the word in the song referring to cinema verite :A tecnique of documentary film making in which the camera records actual persons or events without directoral control.
One of the smartest lines in pop music is in this song: "Real to reel is living verate," Its so obvious only a poet could recognize, then express it..
This song rarely gets played, which always stunned me. I consider it one of their best. And yes, Clem Burke's energy on the drum kit is astounding. The entire band's vibe was just so unique and cool. Great memories.
Clem is unchained here!! Debbie sounds absolutely phenominal,one of the strongest female voices ever.Would only put Pat Benetar above her.The vid is fun to watch to,thanx for the post friend!!
A few things I love about this Vid. debbie's mouth is so inviting, the song rocks, i love all the people in this video. their clothes and their actions. the girl with the ski goggles and oh yeah the girl in the striped dress in the background...lol. 1979 what a year
Deborah Harry looks and sounds amazing! Clem Burke drums up A STORM!! The song is fantastic!!! That guy doing the arm swing at 2:11 is GAAAAAYYYYY!!!!
Great drumming... even if the New York club scene took being in the presence of greatness sort of unappreciated (snowgoggles in New York clubs) - the 80's!!!
Pop as Art!
Debbie - A Masterpiece.

Take a listen to his beats on Atomic - Clem Burke is one hell of a classy drummer.
The rest of the band are also pretty good!
