Audio sample file info · help Alternative cover Australian edition of the "In The Flesh" single, the first Blondie single to be issued on the Chrysalis label.

"In the Flesh" is a song by American band Blondie. Originally from the band's self-titled debut album, Blondie, the song was Blondie's second and final single on the Private Stock label.

The song has a feel reminiscent of Phil Spector-produced pop from the early 60s, with prominent piano, female backing vocals, and a time signature of 12/8.

In Australia, after the song was played by mistake (instead of "X Offender") on the nationally broadcast music program Countdown, it was well received by the viewing audience.Chrysalis Records re-released the song as a single in Australia, again with "Man Overboard" as the B-side. When it reached #2 on the charts in November 1977, Australia became the first territory in which Blondie achieved a hit single.

"In the Flesh" was featured in the 1982 film The Last American Virgin. The song was also featured in the film 200 Cigarettes (1999) and A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master. The song was covered by fictional band Low Shoulder in the 2009 film Jennifer's Body.
