June 17, 1976 –
Blondie released their debut single X Offender on this date. Written by Gary Valentine and Debbie Harry, the title of the song was originally ‘Sex Offender‘, written about an 18-year-old boy being arrested for having sex with his younger girlfriend.
It’s a song about a prostitute, but far less well known than Call Me. In this scenario, she is arrested, but she and the cop know that he wants her. The song ends with the line, “And when I get out, there’s no doubt, I’ll be sex offensive to you.“
