@[supergeekgirl:43858] Curious as to how/where you came to the conclusion that "Debbie Harry got her start in disco"! Her first recorded album is with the hippie folk band Wind in the Willows in the 60s (pre-disco). By the time disco was starting (early 70s), she was with Chris and in the Stilettos (bar rock/proto-punk) and various early versions of Blondie. For a band that came out of the hippie era and got its start in the premiere punk bar CBGBs, I'd have to disagree with your statement. I also was lost at your "finger popping is that infamous disco move" line. Finger popping is just snapping your fingers. The dance Travolta did was the Brooklyn Shuffle. "Have your party on TV" seems to me to be a clear reference to NYC public access show by Paul Tschinkel called Inner-Tube; which Chris and Debbie were on quite a bit and I think even hosted several times. My general interpretation of the song is that it's about vapid consumerism and the dull conformity of the disco/pop culture itself, not disco music. But, there's also a lot of goofy, throw-away lines just for fun. Maybe none of it is really that deep? |

| @[gummomohawk:43856] Definitely. I remember reading an interview back when it came out, maybe in Creem or Trouser Press or something, where Chris said explicitly that it was about Debbie falling asleep watching tv with him. | |

| @[AmbervsTracy2007:42648] Not the same song. This one, "Hey", is on the "Brown Reason to Live" twelve incher; aka their first release. | |

def not about bondage; but playing with the imagery of it, as was en vogue in that era. This line always bothers me: "(some kind) Carl you can go to hell" Carl? |

| @[johnnyobreadislea:41774] \r\n\r\nCould it be not about combing your hair ON a roller coaster, but in the style OF a roller coaster? Think wavy hair styles like 1950s D.A. or Teddy Boys style. Maybe? | |
