When it came to picking cover versions, you couldn’t fault Chris Steinand Debbie Harry’s taste, hence this slickly appealing take on the Paragons’ John Holt-penned 1967 single. Extra points for the video, which involves Darth Vader, a flooded apartment and a dancer unaccountably dressed as Pan – it makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.
Since reforming in 1999, Blondie’s albums have been of decidedly mixed quality, but their most recent, Pollinator,is easily the best. Its episodic seven-minute closer – a cover of a song by a Canadian YouTube influencer, would you believe – is stately, weary and angry. It sounds like nothing else Blondie have recorded.
The exception that proves the rule about the quality of Eat to the Beat’s non-single tracks. The wistful, synth-heavy, slow-motion Shayla makes Blondie’s debt to 60s girl groups explicit once more. It’s a song you can imagine being swathed in reverb by Phil Spector circa 1965 and powered by Be My Baby drums.
Camp, nasty fun that seems to speak of Blondie’s New York roots. The chugging guitar has an air of the Velvet Underground – whom Harry and Stein saw live – while the super-bitchy vocal captures the backbiting, vicious atmosphere of Max’s Kansas City, where Harry worked as a waitress.
The great lost Blondie single, marooned on their unloved 2003 album, The Curse of Blondie. A killer chorus, and a lyrical steal from Queen’s We Will Rock You, over a distinctly Giorgio Moroder-ish synth bassline; if it had been released in 1979, instead of 24 years later, it would have been a hit.
The final original Blondie album, The Hunter, is leaden, miserable listening, with glossy production that can’t hide uninspired songs. But there’s one exception, a would-be Bond theme with a killer chorus. Bond’s producers rejected it in favour of a Sheena Easton ballad, which was pretty much the final insult.
From the opening, Shangri Las-inspired monologue to the production credit for Richard Gottehrer – writer of the Angels’ My Boyfriend’s Back– Blondie’s eponymous debut album was 60s girl-group obsessed; In the Flesh is a perfect update of a girl group in dreamy doo-wop-influenced ballad mode.
The original – Denise by one-hit-wonders Randy and the Rainbows– is a falsetto-voiced 1963 doo-wop single, utterly of its era. Blondie’s version drags it into the late 70s by throwing everything at the song – glam stomping, verses in French, synthesisers, frantic drum rolls – transforming its atmosphere. The UK charts were powerless to resist.
Ballads aren’t really what Blondie were known for, but from its electronic intro onwards, Parallel Lines’ Fade Away and Radiate – about watching late-night TV movies in an altered state that shifts from blissful to paranoid – is eerily compelling. Harry sounds suitably zonked; Robert Fripp’s guitar solo is incredible.
“I wasn’t making a new wave album,” said producer Mike Chapman, of Parallel Lines, “I was making a pop album.” Nowhere is that clearer than on the effortlessly commercial Sunday Girl: teen romance lyrics, the irresistible sweetness of its melody given a hint of toughness by Harry’s vocal.
