From the intro to Jean-Michel Basquiat! Love this video! What a timeless classic. They came and did what they were suppose to and went to another dimension! How cool is that? What a blessing. The very first rap song was by a white woman! LOL
I shoulda been an extra in Copland at da bar.And then a star with Freddie and Figgs at showdown time.3 mighta been a crowd.
This was the very first song with rap in it to ever reach #1 on Billboards Hot 100. Blondie was a groud braking band and don't get all the props they desirve.
VINCE NEIL WITH BOOBS!!
Great video. The original beautiful rapper!
SAMO
It was not Eminem or Vanilla Ice the first white rappers, it was Debbie Harry
Rapping before it was cool
Jean-Michel Basquiat – 1:54
Okay Blondie… Don't stop get it get…
Blonde gets sassy!
what a bass line
The tide is high, and Rapture are my two favorite song by Blondie
In an alternate universe she was my wife.
I forgot about #Blondie being one of the original #rappers! #Rapture
The music video omits the third verse of the album version.
She kinda looks like Michelle Pfeiffer.
Blondie were ahead of their time
LYRICS
Toe to toe
Dancing very close
Barely breathing
Almost comatose
Wall to wall
People hypnotized
And they're stepping lightly
Hang each night in Rapture
Back to back
Sacroiliac
Spineless movement
And a wild attack
Face to face
Sadly solitude
And it's finger popping
Twenty-four hour shopping in Rapture
Fab Five Freddie told me everybody's high
DJ's spinnin' are savin' my mind
Flash is fast, Flash is cool
Francois sez fas, Flashe' no do
And you don't stop, sure shot
Go out to the parking lot
And you get in your car and you drive real far
And you drive all night and then you see a light
And it comes right down and lands on the ground
And out comes a man from Mars
And you try to run but he's got a gun
And he shoots you dead and he eats your head
And then you're in the man from Mars
You go out at night, eatin' cars
You eat Cadillacs, Lincolns too
Mercury's and Subaru's
And you don't stop, you keep on eatin' cars
Then, when there's no more cars
You go out at night and eat up bars where the people meet
Face to face, dance cheek to cheek
One to one, man to man
Dance toe too toe
Don't move to slow, 'cause the man from Mars
Is through with cars, he's eatin' bars
Yeah, wall to wall, door to door, hall to hall
He's gonna eat 'em all
Rapture, be pure
Take a tour, through the sewer
Don't strain your brain, paint a train
You'll be singin' in the rain
I said don't stop, to punk rock
Well now you see what you wanna be
Just have your party on TV
'Cause the man from Mars won't eat up bars when the TV's on
And now he's gone back up to space
Where he won't have a hassle with the human race
And you hip-hop, and you don't stop
Just blast off, sure shot
'Cause the man from Mars stopped eatin' cars and eatin' bars
And now he only eats guitars, get up!
There was nothing Debbie couldn't do. Rap, pop, punk, you name it.
when you realise that Debbie harry can rap better than most rappers in 2018 lol
Jean Michael Basquiat at 1:53 Very famous american artist
She kinda looks like Michelle Pfeiffer.
GTFOH BASQUIAT is the DJ in this video!!! Just Wow!!!!!
Debbie is perfection. I love her!
Debbie does rapture!
Imagine a classroom of 13 year olds listening to this for their first music lesson in year 7… yeah, that rap was certain… something 😂
Superb Blondie ❤
Go ahead Debra!!! This song NEVER went as far as it should have!!! Lord, this was the true confusion of the eighties!!! Top coat and tails meets punk rap jazz!!!
