OK, so why are the fundies so enamored with Blondie?

I mean, this isn't the best of their songs:

Ground breaking, but the rap is lame.

[Captain Hilts]

1. But it was the FIRST top ten rap song. Blondie was great! nt

[originalpckelly]

3. I love Call Me, and even Heart of Glass...

but not that one. The beginning is OK, but Debbie Harry was not a rapper.

[Captain Hilts]

4. No, she wasn't. I like "Dreaming." nt

[originalpckelly]

10. It actually would have been a perfect song if they had a real rapper guest on it.

Probably wouldn't have been as popular though.

[meegbear]

2. It's not her, it's Dagwood's sandwiches they're enamored with ...

[supernova]

5. I didn't think think the fundies knew who Blondie is/were

They were pretty avant-garde for the time.

She brought Rap mainstream. That's no mean feat.

And I actually sorta wanted to BE Debbie Harry. She's hot and smart. Can't beat that. :-)

6. Prehaps it's her support of Gay rights?

As proven in this awesome vid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lRvhRhWWE44

7. I never know what is going on.

What made up controversy did I miss this time?

[originalpckelly]

9. It's a simplex joke. Rapture?

Get it?

[theboss]

12. Wow....you went a long way for that punch line

I look forward to your next joke about, say, Glenn Campbell.

[originalpckelly]

14. The idea here is that they have a song named Rapture.

[theboss]

15. I'm familiar with their work

The connection took an explanation.

Hey! Why do 7th Day Adventists love Hal Linden?

[originalpckelly]

16. I don't know, why?

[theboss]

17. I got nothing

I was hoping you knew.

[originalpckelly]

20. WTF?

:shrug:

[EOTE]

18. It's because of his legendary love of pistachios, right?

That's gotta be it.

[theboss]

19. I'm trying to figure out a way to make the punchline about Fish

But, I got bored.

[ropi]

8. you know..

she's probably on the tribulation map or something. after all, she does say "Face to face /
Sadly solitude / And it's finger popping / Twenty-four hour shopping in Rapture"//

24 hour shopping--Walmart! gotta be the end times!


:crazy:

[daleo]

11. Parallel Lines was a great album

That is all.

[verse18]

13. I'm listening to Blondie's Greatest Hits right now at work.

[Deja Q]

21. What rap? She's singing in the microphone - not talking into it.

Okay, 2:06 mark is where she's talking into the mic.

And despite all that, it's music in the background. Not a repeating sample of someone else's music or the pre-encoded 8 note riff on the $30 fisher price keyboard at Target.
