in 'heart of glass', i still want to believe that debbie harry is singing "wouldja mistrust love from behind".

and in 'rapture', i still refuse to believe she says 'finger popping'.

you almost make me wanna put my copy of autoamerican on the turntable and listen to that line.

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

she is NOT saying 'popping', dambit!!!

Those are almost as bad as the infamous Hendrix misheard Purple Haze lyric, "'Scuse me while I kiss this guy."

Don't believe it!

RAPTURE
Toe to toe, dancing very close.
Body 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, sightless solitude.
And it’s finger popping.
Twenty four hour shopping in rapture.
Fab five freddy told me everybody’s fly.
D.j. spinning, I said, my, my.
Flash is fast, flash is cool.
Francois, c’est pas flashe non due.
And you don’t stop, sure shot.
Go out to the parking lot.
And you get in your car and drive real far.
And you drive all night and then you see a light.
And it comes right down and it lands on the ground.
And out comes the 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 eating cars.
You eat cadillacs, lincolns too.
Mercurys and subaru.
And you don’t stop.
You keep on eating 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 to toe.
Don’t move too slow ’cause the man from mars is through with cars.
He’s eating 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 singing in the rain.
Said don’t stop to the punk rock.
Man to man, body muscular.
Sismic decibel by the jugular.
Wall to wall, tea time technology and a digital ladder.
No sign of bad luck in rapture.

Well now you see what you wanna be.
Just have your party on t.v.
’cause the man from mars won’t eat up bars where the t.v’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 eating cars
And eating bars
And now he only eats guitars.
Get up!





HEART OF GLASS
Once I had a love and it was a gas, soon turned out had a heart of glass.
Seemed like the real thing, only to find mucho mistrust.
Love’s gone behind.
Once I had a love and it was divine.
Soon found out I was losing my mind.
It seemed like the real thing but I was so blind.
Mucho mistrust.
Love’s gone behind.
In between what I find is pleasing and I’m feeling fine, love is so confusing.
There’s no peace of mind if I fear I’m losing you.
It’s just no good, you teasing like you do.
Lost inside adorable illusion and I cannot hide.
I’m the one you’re using, please don’t push me aside.
We coulda made it cruising, yeah.
Yeah, riding high on love’s true bluish light.
Once I had a love and it was a gas, soon turned out to be a pain in the ass.
Seemed like the real thing only to find mucho mistrust.
Love’s gone behind.

I always used to think it was "Put yer mistrust, not far behind," which makes even less sense.

GangstaFam said:

i think she used to cuss like a sailor in those songs and purposefully sing them so you can't tell 100 percent what she's saying.

I always thought "Loves true-bluish lie" was "mushroom bluish sky" which makes no sense.

But then again, up until about the age of ten, I thought Neil Diamond was singing "Reverend Blue Jeans", which makes no sense either....

Some groups intentionally mess with their lyrics. People who have seen My Bloody Valentine live, swear that they are singing "suicide" instead of "sue is fine"...

Anxiety said:

I wouldn't be even slightly surprised.

GangstaFam said:

Debbie always made weird facial expressions in her videos. Did she have a stroke at some point???

One thing that always amuses me is watching the Blondie greatest hits dvd. If you watch it sober, she's way out of sync as she's lypsynching to the songs in her videos. But if you get plastered, and watch it, she's magically right on cue.

Tom said:

LMFAO!

I'll have to try that!

And have you noticed on their American Bandstand appearance for "One Way Or Another" she cannot lipsynch to save her life? I love her archer goddess outfit and shooting arrows into the crowd.

What part of "Rapture" supposedly sounds like finger ...??


And it’s finger popping.
Twenty four hour shopping in rapture.
