It's almost unfair how many great songs were made in 1979

When this song came out it definitely was a mega hit. Men loved her and the women wanted to be like her. No one was like her and since then no one’s come close.

Love the way Blondie looked straight at the camera, almost felt like she could see you. Every boy in the 70's and 80's had a crush on her! Every song they did sounded so different.

I’m so glad you reacted to the humor in the lyrics. People often overlook that aspect of Blondie.

I was only 19 when this came out and I was head over heels for her

One of the sexiest, talented female singers in the industry! Good times every time you hear it! Thanks for memories!

Heart of Glass was definitely a Studio 54 classic

It can’t be overstated how huge of a hit this was when it came out. Blondie is awesome!

You can’t go wrong with any Blondie song. They are all similar but different but all driven by that gorgeous quirky voice of the beautiful Debbie Harry

I love Blondie, and Debbie Harry is so iconic - beautiful, talented, stylish, but having had the pleasure of meeting her and having a chat, also a kind and down to Earth person. Love her!

Brings back fantastic memories Love you Blondie for ever!!

Big Blondie fan here, and there are a couple of historical facts about them that are significant: 1) Blondie was one of 4 bands that helped kick off the original American punk scene in NY at CBGBs (the other 3 were The Talking Heads, The Ramones and Television, the British punk scene was concurrent but separate). 2) Many of their hardcore punk fans considered this song to be the ultimate sellout, having little to do with their roots, while for mainstream listeners this was their introduction to the band 3) Regardless of what the often-incorrect Wikipedia says, disco was still in swing in 1979, though it was fading, and didn't exist at all in the 60s, having started up around 1972/73 4) In their defense, Blondie was quite musically adventurous, and a few years after this song had one of the first ever rap hits, with the song Rapture. I've always admired Debby Harry for putting her career aside to care for Chris Stein. She doesn't just have a heart of glass; it's pure gold.

OMG! This video never gets old. What a voice.What confidence as she looks right into the camera & right through you. I'm not ashamed to admit, I loved Blondie's songs & had a crush on her..but who didn't have a crush?

I always admired her for taking time off, at the height of ber career to care for ber partner. ❤

My dad owned a bar back in the 80's that was country based bar but he made sure this song was on the jukebox. Everyone loved this song.

Everyone falls in love with Blondie. Go with it.

Debbie's Stephen Sprouse-designed gown here is fantastic, so ahead of its time.

Britain embraced Blondie. She fitted in well with our rich and varied music scene of the time.

One of my favorite songs. It plays in any decade.

I was into Blondie when they were still considered "underground" I never got to see them live, but one night, around the time this song was out, Debbie and Chris were checking out rehearsal spaces and the owner of Quack Studios was showing them around and opened the door to one of the rehearsal rooms and there they were standing in the doorway while my band was playing. I'll never forget the sight of Debbie with no make-up wearing jeans and an over-size sweater, tapping her toe and bopping her head in time to what we were playing. Good God I Love That Woman! Cheers!

You never hear people talk about Blondie being one of the best bands of the 70s/80s.. But the best bands of the 70s/80s will talk about Blondie being one of the best bands

Many dance clubs saved this until the last dance of the night as their "closer" and at 4am I was right in the middle of it. Doesn't get any better.

A hit. And she's smokin'. That draws views.

One of rock n rolls most beautiful lady!

70's & 80's rock legend!

The Wikipedia page just sort of skips past it but when it says she took a couple of years off cos of... Blondie had finally hit the big time, years of work and finally hitting the wave. Her boyfriend, who I think was the drummer, got diagnosed with an autoimmune disease. She stopped everything and personally cared for him. She chose humanity over the money and that is why I have the greatest respect for her not just as an artist but as a human. I love Debbie Harry ❤️

Seriously, one of the best reaction videos out there. Instant fan,

1 second after she starts singing you look like you had an epiphany, and immediately understood why this song was number 1 on so many charts. This is one of those song that as soon as the band hear the recording everyone in the room knew this was going to number 1.

This should have been the song of the year when it came out. It still gives me the same feeling I had when I was a kid. And boy was she beautiful.

as a young boy i would watch her on Solid Gold and just be totally enthralled. it did not understand what i was feeling, but oh was i feeling it.

I love how you were taken a back by her

I've always enjoyed Blondie. Doesn't matter what style they played, THAT voice made sure it came through. Then of course when videos appeared - well, you've seen her. The rest of the band were no slouches either. I like many kinds of music but Jazz is my jam. So you can imagine how delighted I was when, during her solo period, she became the vocalist for a jazz band called The Jazz Passengers for one album in 1997 called Individually Twisted. I probably would have bought the album for the title alone. She fitted right in and did not disappoint. Elvis Costello, a popular English artist of the time (and since) who, like Blondie, started out punk but forged his own path, wrote and sang a song on the album. Slightly less of a surprise there since he married a well known jazz singer called Diana Krall. The mot du jour for this comment is 'eclectic'.

Still sounds amazing just like when i first heard the single being played back in 1979.

I was a teenage boy when this came out and you can guess how much I love I was 😂

When Blondie went Disco some fans weren't happy but you have to admit the genre lent itself to great dance music. I wasn't a big fan of Disco but loved to dance and frequently went to our local disco bar and danced the night away. This was a favorite for many of us dancing nuts

to see such joy in Blondie is just amazing. SUBBED! such a tremendous song and she is absolutely amazing. talented and beautiful lady right there

Check out Rapture, Call Me, The Tide is High, One Way or Another. You might want to check out Abba too. Start with Dancing Queen. I'm a 54 year old man, but when Dancing Queen comes on I want to put on rollerskates and go to the rink!

Debbie Harry was a dynamo! And she was able to procure one of the best drummers of the era, Clem Burke.

I'm dominicaN teen of the 80s Blondie was my teen era awesome .in middle of British invasion she shined bright all her songs awesome 😎💯

A song if you've seen it even once, you'll remember it forever!

Blondie is amazzzzzzing!

Big UK Blondie fan here and I must have watched a hundred or more reactions to this song, but this is the first one that has not over dubbed the 'pain in the ass' lyrics. sweet.

I was front row at a Blondie gig in 1979.... every young man's dream at the time!

Dreaming is my favorite blondie song. They were hugely influential and had a fairly novel mix of different musical styles and genres

It didn't hurt that Debbie Harry was a goddess.

So glad you enjoyed this, this song was a massive hit on top 40 radio as well as in the dance clubs. Always packed the floor!

Ya, her voice and looks drive me crazy too! I loved it when it came out when I was young!

I was 11 in 1979, and was given this single at a friends birthday party. I talked my mum in to letting me buy the album a week or so later. It was the first record I ever bought. And still right up there as one of my all time favourites! So much fun watching people discover it now all these years later. And really nostalgic to hear it again too! Do more!!

Saw them live during their No Exit tour at the Tower Theater in Philadelphia. Amazing live performers, had the best time, love Blondie! ❤️

Interesting that this song came out a few years before MTV. Thus very few people had seen this video when the song was released. Had MTV existed then, it would’ve been an even bigger hit.

Blondie was one of the best bands.❤

Blondie was an incredibly important band as they were true innovators. Not afraid to push boundaries. they pioneered in the new wave, punk genres as well as early rap.

Almost 5 min intro... lol Worth it. This is a classic! She's the bomb 💣 😍

So happy this was the original version with "soon found out was a pain the ass" lyric which got edit out for radio airplay.

She was easy to fall in love with in this video, stunning beauty... and oh yeah, the song's catchy.

I’m loving your reaction on this one! I get happy when others are happy too!! Everyone has already suggested most of their great songs. I really love “The Tide Is High” but any of of their songs are great 😊🎶♥️

Blondie is an American rock & new wave band co-founded by singer Debbie Harry & guitarist Chris Stein. They had a lot of great hits in the 70's-90's such as "Call Me", "Atomic", "The Tide Is High", “Rapture”, "Picture This", "Hanging On The Telephone", "I'm Gonna Love You Too", "One Way Or Another", "Sunday Girl", "Island Of Lost Souls", "War Child", "Maria" etc.

This is disco at its very best!

The musicians were: Debbie Harry - vocal; Chris Stein, Frank Infante - guitar; Nigel Harrison - bass; Jimmy Destri - keyboard and Clem Burke - drums.

All right! You listened to the video with the "pain in the ass" lyric at the end! There are other videos out there I hate where they change those last lyrics to "heart of glass".....you can read her lips saying "pain in the ass" but the words were changed....hate that.... Good job!

This was VERY disco. Everyone got out on the dance floor when this came out,

All the boys in my class including myself were in love with her. Their album Parallel Lines was amazing too.

Blondie exploded onto the scene in 1979 as a new wave band. I was a senior in high school and they were a big deal!

Rapture has been called the FIRST RAP song. Your reaction to the music/video was great to see. I remember playing this and other Blondie on the college radio station I would fill-in over the Summer sessions.

Blondie had it all...in bucket loads. Obviously stunning appearance, the voice, the movement, the look, musical interpretation of the song as well as a bucket load of charisma..wow!! a complete full deck. As other comments have noted she was 33 years old!! when Heart of Glass came out in 1979. Blondie was a superb entertainer. one of the very best acts around. Magnetic and utterly compelling, she is still making music today. She still looks incredibly young today.

She Was an actual Play Boy Bunny.

The most iconic song ever! ❤️

there is a doco on how this song was put together and polished into something amazing.

Thank you for Checking out the name First and Realising That Blondie is the Group! I'm fed up with Reactions that go oh Blondie she's so cool!!! Aghhhhhhh Long Live Debbie Harry! looking forward to there Glastonbury Set! Blondie reformed in 1998 and are Still around today Check Out Long Time a Great song from 2017! and there New Album will be out this Year!! 2023

New rabbit hole. Many great songs, and they are all different styles. Keep checking them out

1979 Shelton CT! Ha! Blondie, Joan Jett, Stevie Nicks and Pat Benatar.... Those are Queens! The goddesses of Rock and Roll!

Hanging On the Telephone, One Way or Another, Dreaming, Rapture.

One of those songs that will stand the test of time. This will still be loved in 200 years time.

I feel very old now that you didnt have this in your life !!! i mean ...i AM old but now i feel it !!!

I can absolutely understand how you are blown away, don't worry that feeling will never go away.

I had the same reaction when I first heard Ms. Harry and the boys on FM radio in 1978. Welcome to the party!

She had a great voice - they disbanded when Chris Stein got a near deadly disease in the early '80s, and she was his caretaker. They made a comeback in 1999 with MARIA. Also, try DREAMING, SHAYLA, SUNDAY GIRL, and some older stuff like KIDNAPPER, X OFFENDER, ATOMIC, UNION CITY BLUE - and don't miss her cover of RING OF FIRE from the movie "Roadie"(1980).

The minute you see Debbie and hear her sing, it's easy to become entranced.

I could stare and watch her sing all day ...

The face who adorned so many walls in the 70s/80s.

I remember hearing that song in my mom's car, l remember exactly....l was mesmerized. I never heard such a sweet voice. I was hooked!

Do the next song from them : "Call me"

Seeing your reaction as soon as Debbie started her vocals was awesome! 🎉

I was too young to get into discos back in the late 70s I was 12 when this hit the clubs but this song was huge it was everywhere that year nonstop on the radio. Deb is going be 79 this year.

Debbie Harry, Christie Hynde, the TRUE groundbreakers for women in rock . Both were original and one of a kind. Front women in a band full of guys, singer/ songwriter and sexy to boot . All done with true talent and class.

blimey, I remember when it came out. I was, what 7-8 years old. Those were such great times, the best entertainers etc...

Great reaction. Maybe try “Hanging on the telephone”.

My favorite is the Tide is High, reggae influence. You are cracking me up, almost delirious. Gotta love Blondie

I was waiting for that lyric, "soon turned out, to be a pain in the ass"!

Everyone loves Blondie. Rapture next. Please.

popular because of when it came out? maybe, but more because her looks and voice are equally amazing imho

Debbie Harry was much more than a pretty face with an alluring voice. She was a true pioneer in the music scene of the 70's and 80's. Check out Rapture. She pulled a fast on the sensors who wouldn't allow certain types of music to be played.

You can’t believe the crush 13 year old me had on Debby Harry in the late 70’s and early 80’s! But the music was so damn good too! In addition to their many hit singles they had a plethora of great album cuts, like “Slow Motion”, “Accidents Never Happen”, “Sunday Girl”, “Shayla”, “Angels On The Balcony”, etc. I can’t list them all!

Love Blondie and The B-52s...both totally awesome!!

I grew up with Blondie and Pretenders last years in high school. Those were the days

♥ this song! "like infectious' - amen! Yes - the uncensored version! Too many reactors play the radio edited version You should definitely check out their song - Call Me!

This song was used so incredibly well in the "House of Gucci" movie Trailer #1. I think that's where it gained a new audience for Blondie!

The first time Blondie was a thing was earlier with Denise. That's when I became a "fan". I liked so many different artists when I was a kid in the 70's it's hard to pick oen and say I was a fan. Haha! LJ

One of my favorite bands of all time✨ Soooo cool! Wrote killer songs, played soooo good and what a front woman! Try their cover of ”Hanging on the telephone” for a more punk/rock side to Blondie. Gorgeous video as always too. Aaaaaaah Blondie!!!! Great reaction!

385 Million is not enough for this song.
