99 Red Balloons
I've always thought Blondie sang the song 99 Red Balloons, but on a music channel today the video was on, and it was sung by someone else. Can anyone tell me if Blondie have ever sung it?

I can find no definitive evidence of Blondie having ever released a version of "99 Red Ballons" outside of Lyric websites which also wrongly credit them with a version of the Divinyls' track "I Touch Myself".
