Blondie was huge back in the day. 70s and early 80s. They were the first one to have a rap song reach number one on the charts. "Rapture".
"A gas" was slang for something good, fun, exciting, funny, etc. As in "that party was a gas!" (Blondie is pronounced "blon - dee" by the way).
She actually does say in that last verse "once I had a love and it was a gas, soon turned out was a pain in the ass." So you weren't getting a mistranslation. 🙂
We had the rotary dial phones in America too. They were still pretty common in the 70s when I was a kid, but they mostly disappeared quickly in the 80s. I imagine that Russia may have had them longer than us?
Hey, thank you for letting me know! I’m the child of 90s, and my gmom had this type of phone till my 7-8 y.o so, I guess we had them a little bit longer
@@RussianReactionReviews You are very welcome! The slang term "gas" went out of fashion by the 80s, so a lot of young Americans don't know what it means either.
Great song great reaction!!
@@jackgilchrist Not if you were born in a crossfire hurricane and you howled at your mom in the driving rain!
The lyrics were deemed slightly obscene at the time, so were changed for the video edit, although you can see Debbie mouthing the original lyrics, so it was probably done afterwards. I always remember’pain in the ass’ being in there on the radio edit, and it does subtly change the attitude of the song. Stupid censors.
Blondie is actually the name of the entire band. The lead singer's name is actually Debra Harry. They emerged around the late 70s out of the Punk & New Wave scene in New York. They were mainly classified as New Wave but they soon left that label behind, as they liked to experiment with different styles like Disco in this video, Rock, Reggae & Rap, which was also emerging around the last year of the 70s. Debra also worked for a little while as a Playboy Bunny, before she joined the band & became famous.
I remember seeing Blondie perform this on television on American Bandstand with Dick Clark. Blondie had many other hit songs you could check out such as Rapture, Call Me, The Tide is High, and One Way or Another (which was in the movie Donnie Brasco - don't know if you reviewed that movie yet).
I need to check more of their music, I loved this song
Blondie came from the New York punk/new wave scene in the '70's. They liked to experiment with different styles, including disco here, which was popular in the mid- late 70's. I really love this song and to me it's the best disco song hands down. Some other Blondie songs you might check out sometime are their reggae song "The Tide Is High", "Dreaming", and "Sunday Girl". "It's a gas" is an old expression that means it's a lot of fun. It was probably more popular in the '50's and '60's but you might still occasionally hear it today. Lol, yes we had them, they were called 'rotary phones' and I used to love to play with the dial when I was little.
Disco. best, I'd go with Swept Away czcams.com/video/t8w7CCq036o/video.html
60,70,80 and 90s, the time when music, was actually music...the good thing is that who knows what good music is, can steel enjoy it..
If you read her lips, she is singing "Soon turned out to be a pain in the a$$" which was the actual lyric to the song. Just in the last verse.
to say someone is a gas is to say that they make you laugh or they make an experience fun, this is based on laughing gas (i.e. Nitrous Oxide) which is an actual gas which can cause you to laugh when inhaled.
Now I Know)
I believe the phrase came out of the 1960s hippie generation.
I think it was slang that the British came up with back then
No, no it isn't.
Sit down michael and stop talkin shit
Seeing others see/listen to classic videos for the first time allows me to vicariously re-enjoy these videos for the first time and feels me with joy. These classics have been classics to me for decades, so it can be easy to feel jaded about them.
Yes, The band Blondie was very much part of the New York City music scene in the late '70s. They were one of three bands that got their start at a Manhattan east village club named "CBGB's". The other two bands were The Talking Heads, and The Ramones. The lead singer is Deborah Harry who was actually a Playboy bunny in the late '60s/early '70s in New York. She became a fashion icon creating her unique Punk Chic look and style.
Brilliant song, legendary. Always on every dance-floor a bomb.
Best impression of a rotary phone ever!😊❤
I'm so glad you enjoyed this music video.
Aww thank you Robbie
I love their song "Dreaming".
I have to listen more
Burke's drumming is incredible,
Love that one too!
This is definitely 70's, late 70's but still. If you love her though, you'll definitely LOVE "Black Velvet" by Alannah Myles. And yes, 70's and 80's jams, at least in the U.S., are definitely timeless Irina
I have to listen some more of her songs
@@RussianReactionReviews You'll love Black Velvet, as mentioned above.
@@RussianReactionReviews Blondie is the name of the band - Debbie Harry is the lead singer of Blondie - don't make the mistake of thinking that just because she has blonde hair she is Blondie!
Sounds like a song Dave would recommend haha you do a great job reacting to songs and breaking them down despite only learning English for 2 years. Cool!
You are so nice to me, thank you. It’s definitely such a Dave and I love it
I like the band blondie. From the disco era. They were much more than disco. They even did one of the first rap songs
.by the way it was a "gas" was a old slang term meaning a "thrill" .
Oh. That’s interesting to know. Rap music? I definitely need to listen more of them
@@RussianReactionReviews nice choice on music review. People really enjoy sharing the music of their culture. Even if it is a punk rock band from the late 70's. A fun time from my childhood when Disco music was all the rage, (popular) and dancing to a D.J. (disc jockey) was how it was done. Like the New York American classic film "Saturday Night Fever".
She is still doing concerts to this day
Hello Miss Irena !!! You are correct she was at the Top in the late 70's to the early 80's !!!😀. Yet here are A Few more of her songs
1) Call Me
2) The Tide is High
3) Rapture
As for Her Gas lyric is not liquid Gas but Great Fun !!! 😂😂😂
Or open to interpretation , In My Humble Opinion
Still Subscribed, like button Illuminated
I think you were talking about a rotary phone? We had those in the US, but after rotary phones and before cell phones were invented, we had wired phones with 12 buttons for 20+ years.
This song is on their Parallel Lines Album came out around 1978-1979
The band was called "Angel and the Snakes". But guys would see here and yell "Blondie!", like Dagwood would. So they changed the name. Clem was a hell of a drummer.
Blondie was new wave , She was also one of the First to start Rap Music back in the early 70's Has many no.1 hits !
"It's a gas" just means something is great. You enjoy it. Debby Harry (Blondie) and you both have stunning eyes! 😁
Nice choice for a song to react to, Irina!!!🎶🎬🎬🎬The song was first released in 1978 and played on AM radio. Blondie sounds like Blondee. Yes, we had rotary dial telephones in the U.S., too. The term "a gas" was an expression from the 70's meaning "a lot of fun". There was also "It's a gas" meaning "It's a lot of fun". Although, there are many definitions for the phrase. "Heart of Glass" refers to "emotional fragility". Almost forgot. Blondie's real name was Debbie or Debra Harry.
Blondie is an American rock band co-founded by singer Debbie Harry and guitarist Chris Stein.
The band was a pioneer in the American new wave scene of the mid-1970s in New York. Their first two albums contained strong elements of these genres, and although highly successful in the United Kingdom and Australia, Blondie was regarded as an underground band in the United States until the release of Parallel Lines in 1978. Over the next five years, the band achieved several hit singles[2] including "Heart of Glass", "Call Me", "Atomic", "The Tide Is High", and “Rapture”. The band became noted for its eclectic mix of musical styles, incorporating elements of disco, pop, reggae, and early rap music.
Its from the 70s but she's still making music today in 2023 at 78 years old
I seem to recall that some radio stations wouldn't play the song for swearing, or the TV stations bleeped out the phrase "pain in the ass"
And it is historical, for that reason alone:)
For some reason (cannot remember now), I used "Heart of Glass" as my test song when evaluating headphones. Listen to the huge amount of content in both the low bass and high treble.
Having a gas - a great time. Lots of fun. Pronounced Blond EE ( as in blonde hair ) . Nice seeing your moves to the beat !
Oh🤔thank you for letting me know. Every day I’m learning more and more
I was curious about this too so I deep dived the phrase:
"The use of "gas" for levity and enjoyment goes back to two uses. The first is the expression "everything is gas and goiters," which is first found in print used by Charles Dickens in 1839, meaning quite satisfactory. The more direct origin of the current (well, mid 20th century) usage is from Irish slang where gas meant joke or frivolity, found used in print by James Joyce in 1914. The usage seems to have been picked up by the African American community in the US in the "Jazz Age," and the expression "it's a gas" is first found used in print by James Baldwin in 1957.
So this tells us a lot about when, but not a lot about why. We may speculate that there is some connection to the use of nitrous oxide, also know as "laughing gas," for medical and recreational purposes early in the 1900s, but there is no direct link supplied by the OED to support that hypothesis."
Love blondie 😀
Do more songs please! I have a few requests
Send them here)
A gas meant like a blast/good time.
1) That's not Kate Bush.
2) "Gas" used to be a slang term for a good time.
3) They don't sound like it here, but Blondie was one of the very first punk bands. They started playing at a club in the Bowery in Manhattan called CBGB's (the birth place of punk music) in the mid-'70s along with The Ramones, Television, Richard Hell and the Voidoids, Talking Heads, and many others.
Thank you for all the information, I appreciate your time
Um.. where does Kate bush comes into? Or am I that deaf that I didn't hear her mention it?
@@The_Deaf_Aussie She changed the title of the video. The original title indicated that she was reacting to "Running up that Hill" by Kate Bush.
Great song great reaction!!
The telephone you speak of is a "rotary phone" where you dial. Check out her song Call Me from the film American Gigolo with Richard Gere.
4:10 You are talking about "rotary phones". They went out in the 70's when push button phones came along. 5:38 A 'disco ball" in disco dance clubs and bars. Very 70's.
The phrase "it was a gas". Is slang from the 70's, I think. It means someone or something is funny or playful.
Thank you for helping with my English. I’m still learning
It was a gas she fell in love and it was great. But she had heart broke. Hence heart of glass, it broke. Sometimes they refer to a boxer as having a glass jaw. Which means he can be knocked out easily. It's slag.
Love your vids! Please react to Run Away by Domenico Gallo!
Omg yess please! Would love a react vid to that!
It means a moment of fun that was Short then gone
We definitely had rotary phones in America we didn't have one I was a bit too young for those but its interesting if rotary phones were popular into the late 90s early 2000s in Russia as they were mostly out of style at that point in America
"it's a gas" was slang for something good that happened.
5:40. It’s called a ‘Disco Ball’.
Gas I always thought it was short for having a blast. Fun times
Well I'm late to this reaction and it looks like all of your questions have been answered. My grandparents on my dad's side actually still had 1 working rotary phone while I was growing up. So in the 90s and early 2000s. Having said that they did have modern phones too that they used most of the time.
The best thing about it Debbie Harry’s fashion style is that it was cutting edge at the time and you could wear her hair,makeup and clothes now and it would still be considered chic
It was a gas. It was entertaining. Enjoyable.
i loved blondie when i was younger ,, debbie was ny first celebrity crush, lol
The Rolling Stones/ Mick Jagger made this famous in Jumping Jack Flash , "Jumping Jack Flash, its a gas" , means your having a lot of fun, .... Austin Powers (Comedy) also used the line "its a gas baby"
i have to just say this , Irena you are soo pretty, your eyes are stunning
the expression "Gas" comes from the dentist- "nitrous oxide" laughing gas - Popular expression in the 1960s and 70s
"a gas" is a laugh. Although Deborah Harry is American, she hit it big in the UK, and regularly "partied" with Iggy Pop and David Bowie in the UK
Эту песню я слушал первый раз 79 году в Германии когда служил в армии и она мне очень понравилась хотя люблю хард рок
you say it difficult to work out which is old music and which is current older music you can see them play intruments new music will come from a computer box ,i wonder where all this new music will be in 10 - 20 years love the way russian's say russia it sounds as if very big and powerful to me
The old phone is called a rotary phone. Yes we had them in America, we invented telephones.
The Hardest Part by Blondie is awesome. (The official video)
7:54 The actual lyric is ‘be a pain in the ass’, but they had to change it for American TV and radio.
"Call Me" is ok also. Probably my fav.
Deborah Harry was the original gangster Rock N Roll Diva. They hit it huge in the 78\79 and were massive through the early 80s.
Madonna, everyone who followed basically tried to copy her style. They all failed bc Harry had her own sense of style and fashion. She designed her own clothes, everything.
She wrote all the lyrics which are often quite deep and complex.
She is a also criminally underrated singer. Her voice was deceptively good both in studio and live.
The drummer Clem Burke is probably one of the top 5-10 drummers of all time. A technically perfect metronome. His drums actually flesh out and make the band's sound work.
Blondie is awesome.
Aye... the past can hold a treasure trove of amazing music. There is definitely quite a few gems from the 40s, 50s, 60s 70s 80s etc. I remember as a wee little kid, saw this song on TV back in its time.. and I fell in love ff e with her. Lol.. and yes.. I too had trouble with slang term of gas. And English is my native tongue. Hahaha... figured it out much later tho....
The Blondie rap song is called "Rapture"
Great Time , Fun !
This song makes me want to put on roller skates.
When it was released. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heart_of_Glass_(song)
In one of the street scenes that is shown before Debbie Harry (the lead singer) starts singing, there's a glimpse of the outside of Studio 54, a popular disco club in New York at the time. It's referenced in a few other places, most notably in the disco song "Le Freak" by Chic, a popular band of the time.
While on painful themes ("heart of glass") , one of the best songs is actually "Jar of Hearts" by Christina Perry - that is a superb song, based on her personal life. Not painful in the end, as she met someone far better and has made a huge success of her life. Just love that woman. 😍
Heart of glass came out in 1979 song it about the bad side effects of love relationships not lasting long.
Gas in this context means a laugh, a good time. I hope Google's Russian translation works: Gas-- газ смешной контекст
She said it's a pain in the ass.
Nice tattoo . She's from the 70's & 80's🎸
I like you are enjoying the music
"Blondie" Debra Harry....and Pat Benatar 2 of the greatest girl rock n rollers of the early 1980's...in my opinion
Have heard Pat Benatar's "Hit me with your Best Shot"?
Seems like that part hit home with her when she said beautiful. She froze for a couple seconds, thought video was paused.
This is not the first time I heard this song. This is from 1980, two years before I was born. The singer's name is Debbie Harry
Late 70’s early 80’sManhattan = Studio 54
In the 70s and 80s when something was fun or exciting we would say the it was a gas.
Gas is like slang. For having a good time having a laugh like last night the party was a gas or I has a gas last night was used late 70's and 80's to say how you enjoyed or like somthing
Blondie came up at a very interesting time for music. Yes that was Manhatten and Blondie played a club there that launched many bands - CBGBs. Blondie started like 1974 or so and at the same time punk rock was starting with The Ramons, and you had nowave band The Talking Heads.
Parallel Lines (1978). Seminal New Wave album.
Sunday Girl
they were early newwave fom the u.k and this song i think came out in 1980
A song from my childhood
How old you was?? Such a nice song! Love the atmosphere
@@RussianReactionReviews I was 7 or 8 when it was released.
I ❤ RUSSIA BLONDE 🎶🎶🎶👄❤
✌🇲🇽
The song sounds newer than what it is like it was made in the early 2000s
You should’ve done a comparison with this versus Meg Myers
But Blondie is hot to my favorite is rapture
It was fun
Check out Heart, Pat Benatar, Scandal, The Go-gos, Tawny Tain, Bonnie Tyler, & Laura Branigan.
All GREAT choices, excellent!
IT'S A GAS MEANT IT WAS A GREAT TIME WE HAD.
The gas is an old school hippie way of saying it was GREAT.."she's so pretty" you say? Well Playboy magazine thought so, too..and so did the readers.(She made "Bunny of the Month") Between that and this BIG no. 1 hit, it was her year, and the band kept giving us hits well into the 80's.
4:05 I don’t think I’ve ever seen one haha I would have no idea how to use it:)
Debbie was a bunny girl one of the famous pin ups
Nostalgia
Try Blondie "Dreaming" next
Loved ur reaction.. btw.. I hv a request.. Could you plz check out this indianfolkmetal band, DYMBUR - CHILD ABUSE. These guys write song on heavy social issues that people in India hv to deal with, and mixes metal wt indian folk instruments.. plz react to these guys..
Deborah Harry went to high school in your current home state, in Hawthorne.
Kate Bush and Debbie Harry existed at the same time, that's pretty damn cool.
Dreaming & Rapture are two excellent songs by Blondie.
If you like a big disco ball
And if you like a good guitar solo
Pink Floyd - "Comfortably Numb" - Pulse Concert
