As an owner of Parallel Lines for 3 plus decades, I was reading this and saying to myself, "why can't I remember this song?" Of course playing it brought it back, but it reminded me how long it's been since I played any album by Blondie in its entirety. Without examining it in the album context, I did quite like this song a lot and find its chorus quite catchy. I'm not sure exactly what you mean when you say that Clem Burke's closing loose-limbed drum fills somewhat lets the song down. Do you mean that being one of rock's iconic drummers, he can usually be counted on playing something more impressive?

While that run of singles remains classic my favourite Blondie album remains their self titled debut.

Mind you, I couldn't honestly claim 'Attack of the Giant Ants' would fare any better as a RoGs track than this one!
