Untitled[edit]

Maybe something should be added about how Blondie makes a reference herself about grandmaster Flash? She listened to one of his early gigs and that's what the lines "Flash is fast, flash is good" are about. Read more about in on this source: http://www.chuckthewriter.com/gmf5.pdf -Anzbevrct

Blondie who? The comic book character? Or did you mean DEBBY HARRY? "Blondie" is the name of the BAND, not an individual. — Preceding unsigned comment added by HammerFilmFan (talk • contribs) 15:38, 4 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Rapture and a fascination with black c.... c... culture.[edit]

Its all an allusion to her love of sex with black men.

"Barely breathing Almost comatose"..

The clincher. "Sacrailiac". What caused her to notice her Sacrailiac...

UK single image[edit]

Should we swap the UK and U.S. singles? Blondie is a U.S. band.--Knulclunk (talk) 02:03, 10 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Pop Culture[edit]

A 2015 Acura RDX television commercial (Drive Like a Boss) features the song which is to be interpreted as playing inside the vehicles audio system. The driver in the commercial rapped along even while the music ceased in order to receive a hands-free cell phone call. The driver was played by dental hygienist, Chelsea Ranger, who months before rapped in a video that went viral.Halconen (talk) 17:52, 5 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Genre[edit]

This seems more like funk rock than disco. The Mo-Ja'al (talk) 18:26, 26 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

How can that song be hip hop when the definition has not entered main stream - maybe not even conceived - in 1980?
