Blondie – Atomic

Atomic – single from the album: Eat To The Beat (1979)
Charted: #1 in UK, #39 in US.
Blondie keyboardist Jimmy Destri wrote this song with lead singer Debbie Harry.

The top ’70s fashion model Gia appears in the video, which was directed by David Mallet and featured the band in a post-apocalyptic world. Gia is seen in the beginning getting out of a limo and shows up periodically throughout the video dancing; wearing a miniskirt, sunglasses and a red slinky around her neck. The scenes are very brief and you need to watch the video several times to know when to catch these glimpses of her.

This is Blondie’s best selling single in the UK, with 1,180,000 in sales.
