Bonus points for the visual aid. My parents are so young that I first heard Heart of Glass because my mom was a huge Blondie fan. This tape was on heavy rotation in our kitchen. I would dance around the house listening to it. In fact, when I think of that first house we lived in, it's to the soundtrack of Blondie and J Giels Band.

Little 5 year old me used to dance around the house singing this song:

My parents thought it was hilarious.

PS. Also, Debbie Harry may have been my first crush. Damn she was hot.

Wilma Deering from Buck Rogers for me.

My house had nothing but classical playing. all the time. While my father's car had nothing but country. all the time. It wasn't until 4th or 5th grade that I found the Beatles and Ravi Shankar records from another era.

My father purchased exactly one tape in my entire childhood.

We were driving back from Minnesota and he didn't want to stop, so he also bought a porta-potty. Think it took us 9 days there with my mom; 1 1/2 back.
