"Eat to the Beat" is the title track of Blondie's 1979 album, a Deborah Harry song written with bassist Nigel Harrison, and it moves at a sprint. Mike Chapman produced, keeping everything tight and bright: Clem Burke's drums charging ahead, Chris Stein and Frank Infante's guitars buzzing, Jimmy Destri's keyboards flickering around the edges, and a guest harmonica from Randy Hennes blowing through it. Harry sings lead with that cool, knowing snap, part punk sneer, part pop sweetheart.
