<Ul> <Li> file </Li> <Li> help </Li> </Ul> <P> "Dreaming" is a song by the American new wave band Blondie . Released in 1979, it was the lead single from their fourth album Eat to the Beat . It peaked at #2 on the UK singles chart and #27 on the US Billboard Hot 100 . </P> <P> The lyrics for "Dreaming" originated from the line, "dreaming is free," which band member Chris Stein thought of . After hearing the music for the song that Stein wrote, Debbie Harry wrote the rest of the lyrics . Musically, "Dreaming" is a fast paced new wave song . Stein has since claimed that "Dreaming" is "pretty much a copy" of "Dancing Queen" by ABBA . </P> <P> According to the band's keyboardist Jimmy Destri, the song - like many from the Eat to the Beat album - was recorded live in the studio . The song also features a frantic drum performance by drummer Clem Burke . Burke said of his drumming on the song: "The reason why "Dreaming" came out the way it did is because (producer Mike Chapman) really gave me free reign and it was really a surprise ." </P>
