- "Maria" is a song by the American band Blondie, taken from their 1999 album No Exit. This song was Blondie's comeback single, their first since "War Child" in July 1982. In the UK, it was the band's sixth no.1 single, topping the charts exactly 20 years after their first UK no.1 "Heart of Glass" in 1979. The song was written by the band's keyboardist Jimmy Destri, who had also penned some of their earlier hits such as "Atomic". In the UK the single was released as a 2 CD set, the first containing remixes of "Maria", and the second containing live versions of "Screaming Skin" (a track from their "No Exit" album) and their very first hit single "In the Flesh". When the song reached No. 1 in the UK in February 1999, Debbie Harry, who was then 53, became the oldest female singer to achieve that feat. The single only reached the lower rungs of the US Billboard Hot 100 chart however, stalling at #82. The line "... like a millionaire/walking on imported air" was used in a previous Blondie song, "Walk Like Me" (also written by Destri), from the album Autoamerican (1980). Stylistically it's also very reminiscent to this song. The song is rumored to be at least partially written about Regina Russell, who was involved with Blondie drummer Clem Burke at the time.
- Maria è una canzone del gruppo musicale Blondie dal loro album del 1999 No Exit. La canzone è stata scritta da Jimmy Destri, già autore di altri successi del gruppo come "Atomic". Il singolo rappresenta un ritorno sulle scenedel gruppo dopo quasi venti anni di silenzio. Il singolo raggiunge la posizione numero uno nel Regno Unito, ed ha un enorme successo in tutta Europa. Non riesce a sfondare soltanto negli Stati Uniti, dove il singolo si ferma alla posizione #82 della BIllboard Hot 100. Quando il singolo raggiunse la vetta della classifica inglese nel febbraio 1999, Deborah Harry con i suoi 53 anni divenne la cantante più "anziana" a raggiungere la vetta di tale classifica. Particolare successo il brano l'ha avuto anche in italia, dove la canzone venne utilizzata nella prima campagna pubblicitaria televisiva della Vodafone (all'epoca Omnitel). La frase nel testo "... like a Millionaire/walking on imported air" in una precedente canzone dei Blondie, "Walk Like Me" (sempre scritta da Destri), inclusa nell'album Autoamerican del 1980. Si dice che la canzone parlasse, almeno parzialmente, di Regina Russell, all'epoca legata a Clem Burke, batterista dei Blondie.
