After her popularity as a pop singer waned, she returned to Broadway in 1992, playing Eponine in Les Misérables. By the late 1940s, Guthrie's health was worsening and his behavior becoming extremely erratic. In 1989, at the peak of her popularity, she was the subject of a satirical song by Mojo Nixon, entitled "Debbie Gibson Is Pregnant With My Two-headed Love Child". It was during this period that he wrote and recorded Songs to Grow on for Mother and Child, a collection of children's music. By this time, she and Tiffany, with her remake of "I Think We're Alone Now", were fighting for the top position as teen queen of the United States. They moved into a house on Mermaid Avenue in Coney Island, and together had four children, including Cathy, who died at age four in a house fire, sending him into serious depression, and Arlo, who became a famous singer-songwriter in his own right.

When she was eight, she sang at the children's chorus in the Metropolitan Opera House in New York, where she got to meet such singers as Plácido Domingo and others.

This song is probably best known as recorded by the country/bluegrass legends, The Carter Family around 1930. Gibson was born in 1970 in Brooklyn, New York. The melody Guthrie used for "This Land is Your Land" is the melody for the old gospel song, "When the World's on Fire". During the time she was a teen idol, she became known to the world as Debbie Gibson, although she prefers to be called Deborah. In another version, the sign reads "Private Property." These verses were left out of subsequent recordings (even by Guthrie himself), rendering what was a protest song more patriotic.
