I remember hearing this on the radio and wondering about Debbie Harry's talking in rhymes in the middle of the song where she mentions "the man from Mars" eating cars, bars and guitars! I later saw the video on the TV show "Solid Gold" where I just found out on Wikipedia that it made its U.S. debut there. It featured Ms. Harry walking around a N.Y. street set with a man in white played by William Barnes who also choreographed the video. It also had appearances by notables like Jean Michel Basquiat and Fab 5 Freddy who Debbie mentions in her rap. It should also be noted this was the first time rap entered the mainstream as this song went all the way to No. 1 on the Billboard charts. I really liked this song and video so on that note, Blondie: Rapture is worth a look for any fan of this group.
