It's 11:59

Saturday, December 19, 2009

I just sent an email to a friend at 11:59, which made me think of my favorite Blondie song, so I had to look it up. I have no clue what the hell this song is talking about but I think it's hands down the best Blondie song ever.

Then I decided to find a photo of Debbie Harry to post and I found this.



And then this...her signature "hands in hair" pose. You know, I still dream of being a platinum blonde because of her.



Well, then I found this. WHO is this woman's plastic surgeon and what is their number?? I'll save you the time in looking this up. She's 63!



Sorry, such a lame video but I posted the nonsensical words so you can sing along.






Leaning in your corner like a candidate for wax
Sidewalk social scientist don't get no satisfaction from your cigarette
It's ten to ten and time is running out
Lock up all your memories, get outa here, you know that we can run
Today can last another million years
Today could be the end of me
It's 11:59, and I want to stay alive

Pumping like a fugitive in cover from the night
Take it down the freeway like a bullet to the ocean
Wait until the morning, take tomorrow by the hand
Take it down the highway like a rocket to the ocean, we can run

Today can last another million years
Today could be the end of me
It's 11:59, and I want to stay alive

Hanging on a frequency and burning like a fire
Boy you've got the motion down, it's getting late, I'm tired and I've lost control
Don't leave me here, time is running out
Take me down the highway like a rocket to the ocean, we can run

Today can last another million years
Today could be the end of me
It's 11:59, and I want to stay alive

    @Secretia,
    But the rest?

    @Collette,
    You never heard this song? I think it may have been the flip side to heart of glass or something.

    @Fierce,
    Hey, I want to look like her now!

  8. Hey Chrissy, I didn't know this one either, it's an interesting lyric. A quick check reveals it's from PARALLEL LINES and was the B-Side to the US release of their single HEART OF GLASS. Which I must go listen to now, as well as my personal fave, ATOMIC! I may even go take a shower so I can sing along... (best pub-singer voice) "Oh, oh your hair is byooootiful..." Indigo

  9. Ah...memories. Thanks for taking me back to a time when my boobs didn't sag, my stomach was flat, my hair was 100% gray-free and I still thought I had a chance with Jon Bonjovi.

  10. Wow, Blondie is looking pretty damn good for her age. A MILF for sure!

  11. She's definitely looking good! I think she's coming full circle look-wise back to her roots. She probably decided that it has come around again...just like fashion always does!
