BLONDIE – 45 Years Ago Today DEBBIE Was Hanging On The Telephone
Top singles from the past
30 October 2023
Immortal pop legends BLONDIE released their UK hit single
HANGING ON THE TELEPHONE 45 years ago today, on
30 October 1978.
It was the opening track of Parallel Lines, their third and best LP to my ears.
The song was actually written by the not so famous songwriter Jack Lee in 1976
for his band The Nerves.
Blondie learned about the song when Gun Club frontman Jeffrey Lee Pierce
had given them a compilation cassette with that The Nerves song on it.
The single peaked at #5 in
the UK and flopped in the US.

catchy single DREAMING back in 1979,
It was the opener of their 4th LP Eat To The Beat. It was written
by Chris Stein and Debbie Harry, partially inspired by ABBA’s 1976
monster hit Dancing Queen.
Great voice, great songwriter, and ultimate pin-up rock star.
When I met you in the restaurant
You could tell I was no debutante
You asked me what’s my pleasure
“A movie or a measure?”
I’ll have a cup of tea
And tell you of my
Dreamin’, dreamin’ is free
Dreamin’, dreamin’ is free
