In looking up the song, the movie version has a different bass line in it, and it's like 8 minutes long?
Well, for whatever reason, Blondie turned off comments for this song on several of their YouTube videos, which is really strange.

The kick drum made it a bit tricky to hear the rhythm of the Bass. There's a little bit of a swing or shuffle rhythm (or quarternote, 8th note triplet pattern) in the song. Most tabs have it going through the whole song, but if you listen to
0:52 (bar 31) of the song, bar 47, 48, 51, you can hear clearly that it happens once in the measure, but doesn't really happen elsewhere in those bars. It's definitely not every beat like most tabs indicate.

Listening closely, it sounds like the synth is there, with the rhythm guitar doing 2 8th notes on 2 and 4 of the bars to help give it that feel. definitely quarter notes in the bass for most of it

As you can see by the research I've done (below) It's usually the quarter notes, but will also be the swung 8th notes on occasion. I'm doing the quarter notes unless I hear that the swung 8th note is there

You can't really see the bass for the most part, but you can hear throughout the song that it's mostly quarter notes, and he throws that swing/shuffle in there on occasion or when he feels the groove.
4:57 - fingers

Here, you can here the swung 8th notes very much in the bass frequencies, and some full triplets in spots, but artists performing with orchestras/symphonies are very much not like the original (Look at KISS alive IV)

straight out of the gate it's fingers and quarter notes. This is Nigel, the original bassist

1:04 Nigel is doing quarter notes :)

this one has the swung 8th notes. Not sure why the change up from before

2:18 - zoomed out far, but quarters

Thanks for watching! Enjoy :)
