Heart of Glass but there's a few better. Hanging on the Telephone is probably #1.

Heart of Glass and Call Me are better than Rapture (and I like Rapture). Hanging on the Telephone and Atomic maybe better, too.

I hate super-Caucasian sounding rap so Rapture is off the table. I like Heart Of Glass but Dreaming is my favorite Blondie song.

you do realize she kind-of pioneered mainstream rap with that song.

quote:

The music video made its television debut on Solid Gold on January 31, 1981, and became the first rap video ever broadcast on MTV. Set in the East Village section of Manhattan, the "Man from Mars" or "voodoo god" (dancer William Barnes in the white suit and top hat) is the introductory and central figure. Barnes also choreographed the piece. The final shot is a one-take scene of Debbie Harry dancing along the street, passing by graffiti artists, Uncle Sam, a Native American and a goat. Fab Five Freddy and graffiti artists Lee Quinones and Jean-Michel Basquiat make cameo appearances. Basquiat was hired when Grandmaster Flash did not show for the filming. The UK 7" version of the song is used in the video.

Hmm. Is that really a point in the song's favor?

The song part is great, rap part always sounded kind of stilted to me.

But that's just my opinion. You're more than welcome to have your own.

you have to admire any song which got the lyrics 'its finger fricking 24 hour shopping' on radio stations coast to coast.

No offense to the OP, but I could probably list 20 Blondie songs I like better than HoG or Rapture.

Blondie related. The original version of Hanging On The Telephone by The Nerves if killer.
