"Atomic"
The Repetitive Lyrics: Aha, make me tonight,
make it right, make it magnificent. Oh, your hair is beautiful. Atomic. Why They're Repetitive: That 3 lines is pretty much all that happens in the song. On the other hand, that's 3 more intelligible lines than the average 70s song has. Huh? Yeah, that's why I said 'intelligible'. Didn't claim they made sense, did I?

"Rapture"
The Nonsensical Lyrics: Fab Five Freddy told me everybody's fly
DJ spinning I said my, my Flash is fast, flash is cool Francois sais pas, flashe no do Why They're Nonsensical: "Francois sais pas, flashe no do" supposedly means, "Francois said, he doesn't do flash." It still doesn't make any sense.
(Editor's note: PLEASE remember to type "BR" tags at the end of each song line (except the last), so that the lyrics read properly when processed, otherwise they will appear in paragraph form, which is hard to read for song lyrics.) Submitted by: Guffawked
| "Call Me"
The Nonsensical Lyrics: Color me your color baby, color me your car.
Why They're Nonsensical: Huh? How does that work? What is that even supposed to mean? You can't color someone your car. Unless they mean a metallic paint color which still doesn't make any sense. Furthermore why would you even want to?! Could also go under funny lyrics because it's so ridiculous.

"Rip Her To Shreds"
The Insulting Lyrics: She thinks she's Brenda Starr
Her nosejob is real atomic All she needs is a long knife scar Why They're Insulting: Ooooh, Deborah Harry really hit below the belt with this one! If I was a rich woman, I'd definitely be insulted if someone compared me to a petty comic strip, insulted my nosejob, and then suggested that I be injured! But I'm not rich, and I love the song.

"The Tide Is High"
Opening Lines: The tide is high, But I'm holding on.
Comments: The third #1 for Blondie was released in the fall of 1980 (it was #1 song for two weeks in January 1981) and was taken from the "Autoamerican" album (the slightly later #1 hit "Rapture" would also be taken from this album). It was actually a remake of a minor 1967 UK hit by the Jamiacan group The Paragons (John Holt the lead singer of The Paragons wrote the song). The all female group, Atomic Kitten would have a 2002 UK hit with "The Tide Is High" which was more pop than Blondie's version, but much of Atomic Kitten's version is borrowed from Blondie's version.

| "Heart Of Glass"
Opening Lines: Once I had a love and it was gas, Soon turned out had a heart of glass.
Comments: "Heart Of Glass" was the group, Blondie's first #1 single back in 1979. Although, it was a #1 tune, it was met with much controversy. Up until the release of this tune that blended both the popular at the time, disco, with the less popular but rock critics darling punk and the up and coming new wave, no punk or new wave group would attempt what Blondie had done. A matter of fact, it was seemingly a hard and fast rule that no group with it's roots in punk (and with punk audiences, it was sort of considered a sacrilege amonst punk artists and fans) would ever attempt a disco tune. Blondie though decided to go ahead and do so, and obviously did quite well with mixing the genres. Unfortunately for a while it seemed to alienate them from the punk fans that had originally supported them. But Blondie was paving the way for the more popular new wave of the early 1980's and alternative rock sounds of the 1990's and beyond with "Heart Of Glass" and adventually even the hardcore punk fans of the time would realize that Blondie was onto something that needed to be done. The song and the originally "studio performance" (they weren't even performing though and were lip synching to the recording -- and that is obvious) video was released on the "Parallel Lines" album back in the fall of 1978. When it started to become more popular on disco dance floors, the group Blondie cut another video of "Heart Of Glass" (with the sound improved) that is a very historic look at the night life of New York city in the late 1970's. The second video starts with a very cool aerial camera nighttime view of the World Trade Center (destroyed on 9/11/2001). It then scans over some of the city streets, including passing by "The Ed Sullivan Theatre", and then takes us inside of the old "Studio 54" Disco where Blondie is onstage "performing" (again if you take a close look they are not performing, since they are playing with their instruments and a disco ball and the electric guitars, keyboards, drums and even lead singer Debbie Harry's microphone is not plugged in, and there was also no audience in the video -- "Studio 54" was actually closed for the shooting of the video). After Blondie performs the tune, and Debbie Harry sings her last note, there was one last nighttime aerial shot of the World Trade Center.

The Lyrics: Francois sez fas, Flashe' no do
Why: It's allegedly French for: Francois says, "He doesn't do flash." But I came up empty on the Dictionary.com/translate, so it might have been made-up to sound French.
