The song was released in 1976 by his short-lived US West Coast power pop band The Nerves; in 1978, it was recorded and released as a single by band Blondie.\n\nBlondie had discovered the song on a cassette tape compilation given to the band by Jeffrey Lee Pierce. Beginning with a phone sound-effect courtesy of producer Mike Chapman, Blondie's version of the song was released on the band's breakthrough third album, 'Parallel Lines'. The single was a top 5 hit on the UK singles chart and has since seen critical acclaim as one of the band's best songs.\n\nCheck out the music video for it right here:\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uWhkbDMISl8","location":1,"location_name":"Default","play_type":"trackplay"}
