I'm low key freaked out by the lyrics...
In Hanging On The Telephone, Debbie Harry just mentions somebody's mother leaving the building and then inquiring whether she went to work, or to the store, and then saying to 'ignore' what the mother has told [whoever Debbie is talking to] about her.
Literally just now found out this song was a cover of a song from a couple years before...

Sang by dudes about a girl.
So...
Lol, seems like Blondie's cover was a situation of "turnabout is fair play" and I must say, I'm relieved.
