I thought this was about a girl doing the shame walk for awhile.

There are so many theories about this song. I always thought it was about how people used to talk about Debbie herself. The other theory is that it's about someone Femme Fatale style. I read different conjectures as to who that is, although if it is about anyone I don't think it applies to the people that have been mentioned.

@boltonox I saw pics of Cherry Vanilla (looked slutty and vulgar), in connection to the NY music scene of the time. So then, the song has nothing to do w Brenda Starr?.

Thx for all the info mate! I have the feeling we've talked to each other before. I know your name is quite familiar to me. Cheers.

@daypeshmodd Brenda Starr was a famous comic strip character that was in the Sunday news papers. She was a smart sexy investagative reporter for a news paper that Always cracked the BIG STORY! CBGB's was an ICONIC dirty, dingy little venue on Manhattan island New York. Located in the (then) Nasty run down end of town known as the Bowery district. Blondie, Ramones, Xray specs,Newyork Dolls etc all contributed to give birth to what was LATER to become known as PUNK ROCK playing at CBGB'S!

@daypeshmodd I believe "Rip her to shreds" was written about a friend of hers called "Cherry Vanilla" who was involved with promoting David Bowie's music back then. Apparently Cherry was known to have a standing offer of a FREE BLOW JOB Manhatten D-J's who agreed to play Bowie's music ! Now thats what i call an INNIVATIVE PROMOTER! Ahhhhhh.... the wonderful 70's!! When people only went to jail because of Killing, Stealing, lying or Rapeing. What a great time it was!
