Song was still a hit in '64. Bev's (who lived up the street from me) cousin Denise came and stayed for the summer. We were all 8 yrs old. Bad case of puppy love for me. I remember the fact she could out-wrestle me. But damn,most of the time I wanted her to and sit on top of me.. This song reminds me of her. I heard it a lot then and now. Never saw her again after that summer.

Btw, people have been criticizing an alternate (non-original) version by Randy and the Rainbows (who were of course the original artists; at some point they remade their own song), It sometimes gets played by last.fm instead of the original version (which is great!) It has nothing to do with Blondie's version.

Deborah Harry sang a verse in French to justify the name and gender change. The French verse was going to be cut, but the Blondie vocalist insisted on keeping it and the verse stayed. This won Blondie their first Grammy for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance. http://www.songfacts.com/detail.php?id=8547

it's nice, but I like the Blondie-version more. I have to admit, that Blondie wouldn't be Blondie without their covers, but they did great versions of that one and also "Tide is high" and "Hangin' on the telephone"..
