Debbie Harry was at the height of her beauty in this video. That dress. Those legs.

That being said, I saw her perform more than a decade ago and she was awful.

I'm a Denis man myself.

I like that one too and think it is underrated.

As a teenager, I "appreciated" that video on many Sunday afternoons.

Speaking of Denis, why do songwriters think they have to inject French into a song? Billy Joel did it too and a few others. I guess it might be okay if they actually spoke French with a French accent ...

It's always been very popular.

Bill Wyman

Beatles

Talking Heads

Abba

ELO

So many English songs with French lyrics.

ELO's Hold on Tight had French lyrics. I had forgotten that. That "Time" album is my favourite. Back then bands actually did themed albums. Do musicians still do that?

I believe that Debbie does speak some French although
I don't know how well.
I believe it would be enough to get by in France.
She probably used French in many songs to appeal to
the French pop music market.
She was very clever at marketing her image and songs.

Oh, and:

When I was young I had a crush on Debbie Harry & Kate Bush.

She didn't do that song justice.

In several outfits she look a bit cold?

I thought she always looked like she needed a blood transfusion.

No one should try to cover Bowie's song heroes -
it's his and his alone.

Jenny was at her height of beauty here
