Didn't know: Blondie's "Heart of Glass" was one of the earliest songs they ever wrote, from 1974. They tried it out as a ballad, then as a reggae version, they thought it was a dud. Until..

Very cool Guardian article on the making of Heart of Glass, below, from Debbie Harry and Chris Stein, who shows up in the comments. Good stuff, forever a great song.
