Which Blondie and Debbie Harry solo songs should have had music videos?

An interesting thing about Blondie is that they were one of the early music acts to do a lot of music videos. I would've loved videos for Angels on the Balcony & Live it Up. I also adore Debbie's Maybe for Sure, such a wistful deep cut. There's a cute, weird cartoon "video" of an early version of that track called "Angel's Song", from the Rock & Rule animated film.

R1,good choices

I just realised THERE IS a video for Deborah Harry’s ‘Rush Rush’

R3,it's just a compilation though

Was there an actual video for One Way Or Another or just concert performances?

R5, no official video unfortunately, just concert performances

From Debbie solo, would have loved a vid for Feel The Spin, and from the band, Angels on The Balcony, T-Birds, Danceaway, D-Day, and What I Heard.

Call Me

"Maybe for Sure" has aged very well, released as a single but no video. Another song from DD&B "Get Your Way", was mixed and ready to be turned into a single by Mike Chapman. It was supposedly great but never heard from again. Debbie loved "Pump Up the Jam" and wanted to release a rap single.

R1 it's amusing that some of Debbie's catchier solo material ended up on cartoon soundtracks, like her character Vaingloria's theme from Phantom 2040.

Does anyone know why certain songs didn't get videos?

R11 No one knows. A lot of good songs, some not commercial enough and lots of bad timming. Deborah always said she was not a great business woman.

When her career got a bit slow between records, someone decided to slap her name on a "Summertime Blues" cover (one of the worst things she recorded), and $7,000 for a video.

Blondie wanted to make music videos, but Dagwood wouldn’t let her.

One Way Or Another

How many different videos of The Tide Is High are there?

R15 there are at least three different versions:

1) The original version shot in an apartment which Debbie and Chris owned uptown.

2) The TV version which was spliced with footage from Eat to the Beat.

3) A much rarer "Director's Cut" which was similar to the first, but had some different special effects and alternative shots, and was perhaps a bit more crude surfaced a while ago.

R15, I wish that I could find the directors cut

Just thinking how Blondie were music video pioneers, but during the real pop-culture heyday of MTV and music video, 1983-1987…. Blondie was inactive and Debbie was kind of failing commercially.

R17 I saw that version about 14 years ago, when all kinds of rare Blondie material would turn up and then be deleted. Maybe the director put it out himself.

It was practically the same as the first, but played up the "absurd" aspects. There were different computer transitions. Like when they were driving in the car, strange footage of the goldfish was overlaid. There was different footage of the alien creature, and a few extra cameos.

This was in the very early days of computer graphics and I can see why it was not released like that, and for that matter why they chopped up a whole new version for television.

Why don't they remaster and officially release In The Sun and English Boys?

And why were they hardly ever played?

Wait...there isn't a 'Call Me' video? I could've sworn I saw one.

The Jam Was Moving from KooKoo. I adore that song more than almost anything else in the Blondie / Debbie canon.
