Blondie : Dreaming
[Purchase]
On September 23, 1979 Blondie's new single "Dreaming" debuted on the U.K. charts at #7.It would peak the following week at #2, held off from the top spot by The Police's "Message in a Bottle". Inspired by Abba's "Dancing Queen" and the line "Dreaming is free" that Chris Stein came up with, the song was recorded live in the studio with drummer Clem Burke giving a manic performance because he thought they were just doing a run-through of the song.
The B-side is "Sound-A-Sleep", which remains one of the least interesting moments in the Blondie catalog. Both songs would appear on Eat ToThe Beat, released in October.
Also entering the charts, at U.K#45, The Skids with "Charade", a song that will convince you the Brits are going to stick with mis-pronouncing that word for a good long while.
