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.

FEATURED ON

LITTLE GTO

Little GTO, you're really lookin' fine
Three deuces and a four-speed 389
Listen to her tachin' up now
Listen to her why-ee-eye-ine
C'mon and turn it on, wind it up, blow it out GTO

Wa-wa little GTO
Wa-wa little GTO
Wa-wa teenage GTO

You oughta see her on a road course or a quarter mile
This little modified Pon-Pon has got plenty of style
She beats the gassers and the rail jobs
She really drives them why-ee-eye-ild
C'mon and turn it on, wind it up, blow it out GTO

Gonna save all my money and buy a GTO
I'll get a helmet and a roll bar and I'll be ready to go
I'll take it out to Pomona and let 'em know that I'm the coolest thing around
Little buddy, gonna shut you down
When I turn it on, wind it up, blow it out GTO

Wa-wa little GTO
Wa-wa little GTO
Wa-wa teenage GTO

COMMENTS

quoted from the book 'Deborah Harry: Platinum Blonde - A Portrait By Cathay Che' - 1999

"Bingenheimer [Los Angeles DJ legend] recalls, 'Once as a thank you, Blondie did a single with me called 'Little GTO', on Bob Records in 1979. It was me singing lead vocals and Debbie backing me up. Because of their record contract, it was credited as Rodney and The Brunettes.' Blondie had good reason to be thankful to Bingenheimer, whose claim to fame in the Blondie story is twofold. He was the first DJ to play Blondie on the radio."
