The cover of the song helped the band break into the international market. It was featured on the band's second studio album, Plastic Letters (1978),[12] and was the second UK single release by Blondie on Chrysalis records. The initial Blondie version contained a verse with partly improvised lyrics in French by the group's vocalist Debbie Harry. The second, re-recorded version had its debut as a bonus track on EMI UK's 1994 re-issue of Plastic Letters. "Denis" was released in February 1978 and reached number 2 in the UK and broke into the Top 20 in most European countries including number 1 in Netherlands. In the UK, the song was kept at number 2 for three weeks, first by Kate Bush's "Wuthering Heights"[13] and then by Brian and Michael's "Matchstalk Men and Matchstalk Cats and Dogs".[14] Just like "Rip Her to Shreds", the single was issued on both 7" and 12" formats in the UK, and both feature two B-sides, "Contact in Red Square" from Plastic Letters and "Kung-Fu Girls" from Blondie. "Denis" was the only single released in the US from Plastic Letters (with "I'm on E" as the B-side) though it never charted. In 1988, a remixed version of the track was issued as a single from the Blondie/Debbie Harry remix compilation Once More into the Bleach.[15] This time the single reached number 50 in the UK.
