Was"Blondie" (Debbie Harry) the one who originally recorded"The Tide is High"? In any case, here's a pretty good rendition of it, also from Youtube:

One of the first records, (yes, I said records), I bought was"Blondie: Eat to the Beat". Ah the memories. Played it on a Panasonic SuperScope, by Marantz. It had Quadrophonic sound, though I only had 2 speakers. lol.

I won the stereo from a local radio station, by being the 8th caller. I was about 14. Times were good!

I was always kind of disturbed by the album cover. Kind of drawn to it and repulsed at the same time. I think it had something to do with the band member creeping in the back, with the Frankenstein look.

There were some pretty good tunes. Some of the lyrics were pretty funny. Shayla was one of the funnier ones to me. I did enjoy"Die Young, Stay Pretty" and"Accident Never Happen".

I think Debbie Harry had a Stint as a Playboy Bunny. One of the waitresses at a club, I believe.
I was also torn between her and Pat Benetar.

I see"Blondie" did a few 'Stones' numbers over the years. Here's the same tune that Microsoft used in their Windows 95 debut - the famous 'Start Me Up', Blonde version: Blondie - Rolling Stones' Start me up - Lyrics - Live, 1982 -
