The Deborah Harry song catalog you find on this page was compiled by me, the webmaster, with the help of my personal record collection, booklets, biographies, setlists, ASCAP, the LoC (Library of Congress), articles and (live) bootlegs. It's my goal to create a page which features Deborah's complete musical body of work, no matter if Deborah was in any way musically involved herself or whether she contributed her own lyrics to a project. In order to keep up the standard of this page and to make it grow you can help by submitting song titles and/or information which are missing on this site. Every contribution is greatly appreciated. Official song lyrics were taken from booklets. I transcribed those songs myself where no official lyrics were available (with no guarantee for their accuracy). I apologize for possible errors and will gladly take corrections. I kindly ask you not to copy any of these lyrics from this page.
All song pages include links to the albums, singles and/or live albums which they were released on. Best Ofs and soundtracks were only listed if there is a special mix available on the record or the song title itself was previously unreleased.

COMMENTS

March 1, 2004 - interview with Tim Blanks


Deborah Harry: (...) For me, the title refers to an idea in that Martin Scorsese movie, 'The King of Comedy' [1983]. Robert De Niro's character, Rupert Pupkin, felt that if you took all the bad things that happened to you and turned them into something funny or ironic, then that's life, really. [laughs]

question: What does the album's title, 'The Curse of Blondie', mean for you?
Chris Stein: Everyone in the band has their own variant. As Clem always says, quoting Jean-Paul Sartre: "Hell is other people." [both laugh] But we keep stressing that part of the curse is we finally have achieved some kind of success in the record business, which is going through a drastic transformation now. I think this era of charts and rigidity is going to be over because of the internet. And part of our appeal is that our approach to making music is naturalistic. We do stuff on our own terms.
