Blondie's, "Call Me"

The Lyrics:

Ooh, he speaks the languages of love
Ooh, amore, chiamami chiamami
Oo, appelle-moi mon cherie, appelle-moi
Anytime anyplace anywhere anyway
Anytime anyplace anywhere any day, anyway.

Why:

Just before the instrumental break, Debbie offers her love to "call me" in Italian and French.

Blondie's, "Denis"

The Lyrics:

Denis, Denis, avec tes yeux si bleus
Denis, Denis, quand j'ai peche pour deux
Denis, Denis, pour un baiser d'eternite
Denis, Denis, je suis folle de toi
Denis, Denis, embrasse moi ce soir
Denis, Denis, pour un baiser d'eternite

Why:

The first and fourth lines of the verse sung in French are roughly equal to the lines "With your eyes so blue" and "I've got a crush on you" earlier in the song.

Blondie's, "Rapture"

The Lyrics:

Francois sez fas, Flashe' no do

Why:

It's allegedly French for: Francois says, "He doesn't do flash." But I came up empty on the Dictionary.com/translate, so it might have been made-up to sound French.
