On this date in 1978, BLONDIE released their cover of THE NERVES' song HANGING ON THE TELEPHONE (Oct 27, 1978) Blondie’s fast-paced, electrically charged version of this Jack Lee-penned tune has since become an emblem of their sound, and it’s easy to see why. Originally released by THE NERVES, an L.A. power-pop band, the song saw modest acclaim before Blondie picked it up and transformed it, introducing their own punchy style, production finesse, and Debbie Harry’s compelling vocal dynamism.
