The Undertones : Get Over You
On January 19, 1979 The Undertones released "Get Over You", a UK#57 hit and their first release for Sire Records. The Derry power-punk band first got the attention and undying devotion of BBC 1 DJ John Peel with their "Teenage Kicks" EP on the Belfast based Good Vibrations label. Peel helped the band score a UK#31 hit with the title track. The new single, a teenage love song, came out of sessions for the debut album coming out in May.
Also on this date Blondie hosted The Midnight Special. The band performed Parallel Lines tracks "One Way or Another", "Hanging on the Telephone", "Sunday Girl" and a lip synced version of "Heart of Glass", the single that would top the UK charts by the end of the month and top the US charts at the end of April.
