Today's video and song is a remake of the 1967 original by the group The Paragons. Never heard of them? Don't worry, most people haven't. This song didn't really make a splash until 1980 when Debbie Harry and her band Blondie gave it a reggae vibe which helped it climb all the way to #1 on the charts. The video wanders aimlessly from an apartment to a cab to a rocket launch to some sort of lunar landing where Debbie Harry proceeds to dance with some sort of midget mutant Darth Vader. Here is "The Tide is High"...
