about this song
"Shayla" is a song by the American rock band Blondie from their fourth album Eat To The Beat. It was written by guitarist Chris Stein. Chris describes Shayla as “‘Coal Miner’s Daughter’ goes to space” as Debbie Harry tells the story of a young woman who quits her job at the factory, longing to escape her menial, capitalistic life. She gets much more than she asked for as an extraterrestrial comes to take her out of this world. The song has been covered by Berlin, Jeremy Jay and Dee Madden.
