“Dragonfly” by Blondie
From the album The Hunter (1982)
“Dragonfly” by Blondie appears on 2 radio countdowns from 1 station between 2002 and 2003. It was first released in 1982 on the album The Hunter. Its best result is #1447 on the Fred XM Top 2044 Songs of All-Time (July 2003). In the combined RockLists rankings it is #5,861 alternative song of all time.
"Dragonfly" flies out of The Hunter, Blondie's sixth album, released by Chrysalis in May 1982 and their last record of new songs until No Exit in 1999. Chris Stein wrote the music and Deborah Harry the words, and where the album loosely chases a theme of searching and hunting, this one takes the chase off-planet: its lyrics spin a science-fiction tale about a race in space.
Mike Chapman produced, with Markie Iannello and Doug Schwartz engineering, and the band cut the album between December 1981 and February 1982. Harry sings lead over Stein and Frank Infante's guitars, Jimmy Destri's keyboards, Nigel Harrison's bass and Clem Burke's drums, and guest Robert Aaron blows saxophone.
