I made a comment on Shindo’s blog the other day about Debbie Harry. He went to see the True Colors concert that Margaret Cho and Cindi Lauper are headlining, and Debbie is one of the acts performing — she’s solo, this time, without the rest of Blondie. The comment I made is that I’m a fan of Debbie Harry in principle because I still want to be out there shaking my stuff at her age — heck, I still wanna have stuff to shake at her age. At the same time, though, the last couple of Blondie albums have been weak and with the exception of the song that was on the Grand Theft Auto III soundtrack, I don’t think I could name a single Debbie Harry solo track.
Well, I did forget one of Blondie’s recent songs that I thought was kinda catchy and thought I’d share it because the video is kinda cute … in a dark, twisted sort of way.
And so, from The Curse of Blondie, here’s “Good Boys.” Watch out for that tiger….

Here’s the vid for French Kissing in the USA, the only solo song of hers I recognized on that set. It was a minor post-Blondie hit in the mid 1980′s. Gotta love that she’s got Andy Warhol bedsheets in the video. Most of her stuff on that show was promoting her upcoming solo album, which didn’t get mentioned in the show.
… and after watching that video, I’m going to stick with my earlier assertion about not knowing her solo work
Poor Debbie. She must be a genius ahead of her time.
