Bad Songs by Good Bands: No. 20
For shame that it took a statuesque blonde to break rap music into the American mainstream. Whatever the hell Debbie Harry was "rapping" about -- a man from Mars, eating cars, don't strain your brain -- by rights her rhyming dictionaries should've been confiscated. 'Rapture' was doubly cursed when it reappeared in a 2005 mash-up with the Doors' bloated 'Riders on the Storm.'Posted by Spinner Staff

She is really stunning.. I am expecting her new music video. She looks so hot in that pictures. BTW, Have u guys heard that she ever appeared on a millionaire&celebs dating site 'richloving.com' when she was single? I heard of this around some famous gossip sites.

Britney Spears returned with new album, but this isn't enough for her. She made new video for new gossip! So watch new video with topless Britney Spears at http://vids-online.net/video.php?id=Britney_Spears

Statuesque blonde?
I'll grant you blonde (out of the peroxide bottle)
but statuesque? I don't think so...
She stands about 4 foot 11 inches without the stacks she used to wear on her tiny little feet.

Debbie is 5'3", and her physical dimensions are very deceiving in photographs because of her incredibly huge head. This is also why her mother died in childbirth, and she wound up being adopted by the Harry's.

These people have no Idea what they're talking about. Rapture is not only a great song, it helped make rap more mainstream!

I agree! Is spinner crazy? This song is GREAT! It's like alternative/post-ponk/rap with a great melody and rhythm. I'm totally amazed at this choice... You wanna pick a bad Blondie song, pick some weird oddity on a B-Side.

Yeah it's a cool song.
People tell me I'm crazy when I say it's the first
"Rap" song to get big air-play.
I've bought it 3 times on vinyl 45s at thrift stores.
The song it a little weird as far as the "Eating Guitars"
and "Eating Cars" stuff, but wtf?

SHE DIDN'T BREAK RAP INTO THE MAINSTREAM. RAP DIDN'T GET POPULAR IN THE MAINSTREAM TO RUN DMC AND MC HAMMER.
Rickat 10-29-2008
Run DMC, yes. MC Hammer? No, LOL. Son you need a history lesson if you think MC Hammer helped break rap into the mainstream. Look up LL Cool J, Kurtis Blow, etc. Hammer was a batboy when these guys were breaking in.

Rapture is a classic and does not belong on this list!

How about making a list of the stupidest people that work for AOL? The person who made this list would be surely on it.
whateverat 8-08-2008
I'm sorry but if it wasn't for Blondie there would be no rap.
